Description

In this episode of the Flourish Academy podcast, Heather Lahtinen talks with her good friend and Elevate coach, Michelle Crandall, about a surprising truth—what happens after you finally hit a big business goal.

Michelle recently had her biggest month ever in her photography business, nearly hitting $10,000. But instead of celebrating, her brain spiraled with doubt, fear, and guilt. Together, Heather and Michelle unpack the emotional rollercoaster of achieving success and why it’s so hard to feel happy even when you’re winning. If you've ever hit a milestone and still felt like it's not enough, this episode is for you.

Show Notes:

  • Why we sometimes feel we have to stay in struggle to be relatable
  • The problem with tying identity to hardship instead of success
  • How fear and guilt can block celebration and self-recognition
  • Why your success is not responsible for someone else’s discomfort.
  • How to focus on inspiring others instead of protecting their feelings.
  • “I had a $10,000 month”—why this feels like a core value conflict.
  • Dismantling the false link between success and showing off.
