When More Isn't It

What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted… and it still doesn’t feel like enough?

In this episode, I unpack the darker side of the chase. From building the dream business to buying the dream home to traveling the world solo—on paper, I had it all. But behind the scenes, I was burned out, disconnected, and drowning in champagne and credit card bills.

We’ll explore what happens when we skip the inner work, how personal development can become another escape, and why slowing down might be the most radical move of all.

This isn’t about demonizing the dream—it’s about learning how to live it without losing ourselves.

✨ Are you chasing happy... or running from yourself? Let’s explore.
