21 | Defining Success on Your Terms: Stop Chasing the Wrong Goals

Hey there, friend.

Let me ask you something: Do you feel like you’ve been chasing someone else’s idea of success? Maybe it’s the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect life—but deep down, it doesn’t feel like it’s yours.

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. So many of us spend years checking all the boxes, only to realize the life we’ve built doesn’t actually fit who we are anymore. And you know what? That’s okay. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to redefine what success looks like for you—especially in this season of life.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
✨ Why so many of us fall into the trap of chasing the “Ideal Woman” that doesn’t even exist.
✨ What to do when you realize you’ve gone down the wrong path (and how to pivot without guilt).
✨ How to give yourself permission to let go of the things that no longer serve you, so you can focus on what truly matters.

I’ll also share a personal story about a tough decision I had to make recently—one that challenged me to let go of something I loved because it wasn’t aligned with where I’m headed in 2025.

Friend, it’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out. It’s about learning what feels good to YOU, what aligns with your dreams, and taking small, intentional steps forward.
