Success Genius:  Where Science Meets Entrepreneurial Success

Why More Never Feels Like Enough


Listen Later

What if the life you’re trying so hard to build… is already here, waiting for you to slow down enough to notice it?

As entrepreneurs, we’re conditioned to keep reaching—another milestone, another level, another “next.” But rarely do we stop to question whether the pursuit itself is steering us away from the very fullness we’re craving. In this week’s episode of Success Genius, we’re unpacking the cultural obsession with more—and how it quietly rewires your goals, your energy, and even your sense of worth.

Inside this Wanting Well instalment, we explore the myth that growth always requires adding something new. You’ll hear the neuroscience behind why the chase feels addictive, why the dopamine dip after achievement leaves you restless, and how the constant pursuit of the next win tricks your brain into believing you’re falling behind—even when you’re not.

We’ll also dive into the psychology of “enoughness,” why it’s not a number but a relationship, and how your beliefs about time, money, energy, and success shape the kind of goals you choose for 2026. And most importantly, you’ll learn how to design goals from wholeness—not scarcity, not fear of stagnation, and definitely not the pressure to outperform last year’s version of you.

Join me as we rethink what meaningful growth really looks like. Because when your ambition becomes rooted in fulfillment—rather than in proving, performing, or producing—you don’t just set healthier goals… you build a life that actually feels like the one you’ve been working toward.

Topics covered in this episode include:

  • Why the “myth of more” keeps high achievers stuck in an endless chase
  • How dopamine drives the thrill of pursuit—and the crash that follows
  • The psychology behind feeling “not enough,” even when you hit big goals
  • Practical shifts for designing 2026 goals from wholeness, not scarcity

Ready to set goals that feel grounded, spacious, and genuinely aligned? Tune in and learn how to break free from achievement addiction and build a life that feels full before you add anything new.
