About this episode

This episode might be the wakeup call we all need that our traditional notions of success aren't working. We have been conditioned to see success as individualistic, full of sacrifice, centred around discipline, productivity and all about image and looking impressive. Actually, success is a lot more nuanced. Some of the most successful people in the world as the least happy because success does not allow us to prioritise what really matters to us and drives us. In this episode we break down: 

  • The problems with our idea of success
  • Overachiever burnout 
  • Why being successful doesn't always equal happiness 
  • The alternative and how to find your purpose
  • What makes a successful life in your 20s
