In episode 106, we’re talking about the part of success no one prepares you for, the pressure, the self-doubt, and the internal lag that can show up even after you’ve landed the role, title, or opportunity you worked so hard for. If you’ve ever achieved something you wanted and still didn’t feel at ease, you’re not alone.

This episode breaks down why success doesn’t automatically create confidence, how old habits follow you into new roles, and what it looks like to redefine success so it actually aligns with your life, not just your resume.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why achieving a goal doesn’t always create relief and what that “emotional lag” really is

• How old patterns like overworking follow you into new roles unless you consciously shift them

• What it looks like to update your beliefs and behaviors so your internal identity matches your external success

• Why success can feel unsafe without a clear, personal definition of what it means for this season of your life

• How a priority checklist can help you evaluate roles and opportunities based on alignment, not pressure
  

Key Takeaways:

• Success brings new emotions and they don’t always match what you expected

• Old habits don’t disappear with a new title; you have to intentionally evolve them

• Defining success for yourself creates stability, not just achievement

• Confidence grows when your internal identity catches up to your external wins

• Alignment matters more than chasing shiny roles that don’t fit your values
