In this conversation, Dr. Lacy explores the complex relationship between success and happiness. She argues that success often does not equate to happiness, as many individuals do not recognize their achievements and instead feel relief from external pressures. The discussion emphasizes the importance of the process of achieving goals and personal growth over the end results. Dr. Lacy highlights the significance of self-awareness, celebrating small wins, and understanding one's motivations for pursuing success. Ultimately, she concludes that true happiness comes from the journey and the person one becomes along the way. Takeaways Success does not necessarily lead to happiness. Many people do not recognize their own success. Celebrating small wins helps build self-awareness. Imposter syndrome can lead to feelings of fraudulence. The process of achieving goals can be more fulfilling than the outcome. Happiness is found in loving what you do. Success is about personal growth and who you become. External pressures can overshadow personal achievements. It's important to define what success means to you personally. True freedom comes from being authentic and true to oneself.
