Hey friends! I'm back with a new episode on redefining success. This one really spoke to me on a personal level, so I had to share. We kick things off with a vulnerable chat about how success means different things to different people. Then we dive into perspectives from leaders like Nelson Mandela and Richard Branson on prioritizing freedom and happiness over money and status. The episode covers some fascinating research on success too. Studies show purpose and autonomy predict life satisfaction more than income. And at work, having meaningful work and relationships matter most for wellbeing. Lori also shares great examples of how cultural values shape definitions of success, from Pura Vida in Costa Rica to Scandinavian work-life balance. I love how she ties it back to Simon Sinek's "Start With Why" framework. Figuring out your intrinsic motivations and values helps you define success on your own terms. Overall, this episode left me feeling inspired to live more authentically. I'd love to hear your thoughts too! What does success mean to you? Let me know in the comments!
