Success sounds like a finish line, until you realize you might be running a race you never chose. In this episode, we’re getting honest about how easily our definition of success gets hijacked by comparison, social media highlight reels, career “shoulds,” and the quiet pressure to look like we’re winning. Our host, Lisa Tarkington, share what she has seen in her own life, from seasons that looked impressive on paper to moments that quietly felt like real freedom.

We dig into why the “once I get X” mindset can leave you stressed or empty even after you hit the goal, and how burnout can be a sign that your scoreboard is broken, not that you are. You’ll hear research that challenges the idea that everyone is chasing fame and fortune, plus a simple way to reset your confidence: stop borrowing other people’s metrics and start building your own.
