In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, Ashley Hamilton and I explore the evolving definition of success, particularly in the context of education and parenting. We discuss the societal pressures surrounding college education and the traditional markers of success, such as wealth and status. Through personal anecdotes, we highlight the importance of kindness, personal growth, and the need to redefine success beyond material achievements. The conversation emphasizes the value of being present and embracing new paths, especially for the younger generation navigating their futures. 

 We go on to discuss the importance of personal growth, authenticity, and the impact of one's actions on others. The discussion highlights the significance of modeling success for future generations and the role of compassion and self-reflection in achieving a fulfilling life. Ultimately, we advocate for a redefined understanding of success that prioritizes emotional well-being and genuine connections over superficial achievements.
