Podcasts about redefining success

What happens when you build a six-figure business that looks amazing on paper but leaves you completely burnt out and unfulfilled? In this episode, I sit down with Jemma Broadstock (AKA the happy coach and psychologist) to dive deep into one of the most important conversations happening in the online space right now: burnout and redefining success.Jemma's story is both relatable and eye-opening. She started freelancing at just 16, accidentally grew an agency that hit six figures, and then... walked away from it all. Not because it wasn't successful, but because it wasn't her version of success.We get into the nitty-gritty of how external advice can lead you to build a business that works on paper but not for your actual life. Jemma shares how she was doing work that wasn't the best use of her skills, serving clients in ways that didn't align with her values, and essentially "putting on a uniform every morning to be someone else."One of my favorite parts of our conversation is when Jemma talks about purchasing from two different businesses in the same month - one completely automated and one totally personal. Guess which one made her feel more connected? This really challenged my own thinking about when to automate versus when to stay hands-on.We also dig into practical psychology tools that help you identify when your problem isn't actually your strategy, marketing, or clients - but something deeper. Jemma introduces the "best possible business" exercise and explains why you need to do it multiple times to get the full picture.If you've ever felt like you're working really hard but don't know where you're going, or if you've created something successful that just doesn't feel right for you, this episode is going to hit different. Jemma breaks down how to slow down to speed up and why sometimes the most illogical decision (like only doing one-to-one work when everyone says you need to scale) might be exactly what you need.Resources from this episode:Take Jemma's 20-question assessment to get a personalized report on what area you should focus on to be happier and more fulfilled in your businessMore about Jemma Broadstock:Jemma (aka the Happy Coach & Psychologist)Having worked in the online space for 10 years,Jemma started (and later closed) an agency due to burnout before making a return as a fully qualified and accredited coach. Now, she works specifically with individuals looking to build success from the inside out. With a BSc and MSc in Psychology, specialising in positive psychology and coaching psychology, Jemma's focus is on helping others cultivate more joy, fulfillment, and purpose in both their daily lives and work—without the burnout, of course.Connect with Jemma Broadstock:Website: https://jemmabroadstock.com/Instagram: instagram.com/jemmabroadstockLinedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jemmabroadstock/Connect with Sam:Website: https://www.systemswithsam.com/services Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/systemswithsam/ ​​LinkedIn:

In this episode, I shared the “Flow Formula,” a simple yet powerful approach to success that centers on intention, rest, and trust. Too often, we get caught up in the idea that working harder is the only way forward, but real progress comes when we stop forcing outcomes and start aligning with what truly matters. Flow isn't about doing less—it's about showing up with clarity, letting go of resistance, and allowing things to unfold with purpose. Whether you're seeding a new idea, getting quality rest, solving problems with patience, or surrendering to timing, this formula helps you move forward with ease and impact. Be kind to your future self—stay present, stay consistent, and let your actions reflect your values. That's where fulfillment begins.

From crossing the Maui channel at age 10 to rocking the American flag cap for Team USA to becoming the first and only person to complete the Maui Nui triple crossing, Becca Mann has lived a swimming life full of triumphs and tribulations too good not to share with the world, so the accomplished novelist and screenwriter pivoted to non-fiction and wrote a memoir - Outside the Lanes: A Pro Swimmer's Story of Resilience, Reinvention, and Redefining Success. Becca joins us for a chat about her life, writing books, and swimming. She's a riot and her energy is contagious. Following a five year break from competition, Becca is back in the pool aiming to get back on the US National team, having moved to North Carolina to join her old friend and World Champion Ashley Twichell in training. Judging by her results thus far, she looks to be right on track.

For a lot of us—especially high-achieving women—ambition can feel like a double-edged sword. It drives us, fuels us, and pushes us forward. But it can also drain us, disconnect us, and quietly lead us away from who we really are. That's exactly why I invited Amina AITai back to the podcast. She's a holistic business and career coach, a chronic illness advocate, a proud immigrant, and one of the most grounded voices on what it means to live and lead with intention. In her new book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, Amina unpacks the toxic side of ambition—and how to reclaim it in a way that actually serves you. We talk about the ambition myths that keep women stuck, the pressure to perform at all costs, and how to get out of the cycle of striving and back into alignment with what really matters. This isn't about playing small—it's about playing smart. Purposefully. Intuitively. Sustainably. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What the ambition trap is—and how to know if you're in it ✅ The difference between aligned ambition and external pressure ✅ Why burnout isn't a badge of honor ✅ Practices to reconnect with your brilliance and body ✅ The surprising role rest plays in achievement Ambition isn't the problem. The problem is chasing a version of success that was never really yours to begin with. It's time to stop striving and start living—from the inside out.   Connect with Amina:  Website: www.aminaaltai.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/aminaaltai/ Book: https://www.aminaaltai.com/book Related Podcast Episodes: The Power of Enough with Elizabeth Husserl | 299 How To Know When It's Time to Quit with Goli Kalkhoran | 266 Abundance: Secrets to Prosperity and Ease with Cathy Heller | 260 Share the Love: If you found this episode insightful, please share it with a friend, tag us on social media, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!

“How you gonna ridicule me? I'm in the one percentile of my work and I've shown you I work hard, so why can't I have a life away from my job?” Paul George Philadelphia 76ers In a special crossover  edition of The Pivot, we sit with NBA star, Paul George for the first part of our show and then Ryan, Chan and Fred do a second part with PG as the host that is streaming on his Podcast P channel…it's a layered conversation about basketball, football, teammates, legacy, expectations personally and professionally as well as the role of family and more as we kick off the first part of this show… This raw and insightful discussion goes far beyond the court as PG opens up about the highs and lows of his career—from the devastating leg injury that nearly ended it all, to becoming one of the league's most respected veterans as he's played for the NBA's most storied franchises and had teammates who've defined the game. In a moment of humility and honesty, PG talks about coming to the Philadelphia 76ers and how things ultimately didn't go as planned with championship expectations premature but hopes the adversity of a talented locker room will help the team rebound going forward.

He reflects on the mental and emotional toll of unmet goals, while staying focused on growth and what's next in his journey. PG shares his mindset shift over the years, lessons in leadership, and how he's learned to balance basketball, fatherhood, and business. The guys also dive into PG's thoughts on today's NBA culture, playoff performances, and the power of staying mentally strong in a game that's constantly evolving. Paul gets real about navigating criticism, evolving as a leader, and finding peace in the process.

What happens when your identity is tied to your achievements?In this energizing episode, Elizabeth Parsons shares how retirement isn't an end, but a powerful beginning. She is the author of "Encore", and a former international law firm attorney who made a bold mid-life pivot to create a more intentional life. The discussion dives into how our culture overemphasizes financial planning and underprepares us for the emotional transition of retirement, the myth of time abundance, and the importance of reclaiming personal agency through small, proactive steps.3 Key Takeaways:(1) Retirement Isn't Just About MoneyMany people entering retirement are financially prepared—but emotionally lost. Planning for purpose and identity is just as critical as planning for income.(2) Time Abundance Can Be ParalyzingAfter decades of time scarcity, having “oodles of time” can feel daunting. Creating structure and intentionality is key to navigating this new reality.(3) Proactivity is a MuscleHigh-achievers often spend years reacting to others' demands. Retirement requires retraining that muscle—to stop reacting and start creating a life that reflects your true priorities.Ready to approach retirement as a new beginning, not an ending?

Part one of the "Redefining SUCCESS" series. Pastor Lindsey Seals begins the series talking about what SUCCESS truly is. He gives us keys to help DEFINE SUCCESS in our lives using the example of Joshua.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Adrian Kelly, author of The Success Complex: Ancient wisdom, the building blocks of life and your path to sustained success. Drawing from history, behavioral science, and personal stories, Adrian offers a compelling redefinition of what it means to succeed. From his humble academic beginnings to building international ventures, Adrian brings a unique perspective on resilience, motivation, and identity. They discuss why IQ may be overrated and how something Adrian calls the “Point Guard Quotient” might better predict success. The conversation dives into increasing your luck, avoiding de-motivation, managing identity through career changes, and maintaining balance in a high-achievement world. They also explore practical lessons from the Challenger disaster and how small changes in communication can shape results. If you're looking for insights on redefining success, building motivation, and leading with awareness and impact, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “We overestimate talent and underestimate persistence.” “Opportunity doesn't waste time with the unprepared.” “People want to help people who help themselves.” “You don't fall off a cliff overnight—you drift one day at a time.” “Avoiding de-motivation is often more important than sustaining motivation.” “Sometimes the drawback isn't a setback—it's a setup for a better path.” “Nobody traps us quite like we trap ourselves.”   Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:07 Start of Interview 01:18 What from your early life shaped your view of success? 07:12 How much does IQ influence success and what's the 'Point Guard Quotient'? 11:52 What can we learn about success from the Challenger disaster? 14:03 What do you mean by avoiding de-motivation to sustain motivation? 18:57 What do you mean by a tangled identity and how has that affected you? 27:05 Is it possible to increase your luck? If so, how? 30:41 How do biases and communication styles affect our opportunities? 33:48 How can we balance the drive to succeed with well-being? 39:34 Why is autonomy and attention so important for success? 43:39 As parents, how can we prepare our children for success? 47:00 End of Interview 47:30 Andy Comments After the Interview 53:49 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Adrian and his work at AskMore.ie.

What if the version of success you've been chasing… isn't actually yours? In this episode, we're unpacking why so many women feel burned out, behind, or disconnected—even when they're achieving.  If your goals don't feel like they're serving you anymore, this might be the permission you didn't know you needed. We'll explore: - How your old success standards may be rooted in hustle, control, or people-pleasing - What emotional regulation has to do with health, peace, and confidence - How your relationship with food, money & busy-ness reflects your beliefs about worth - Why redefining success in midlife is powerful—and overdue You'll also get reflective questions and a small step to start shifting into a version of success that actually feels like you. This isn't about giving up. It's about evolving—on purpose.

What does it mean to live gutsy? In this episode, we sit down with mindset coach Becky Mollenkamp, the powerhouse behind the Gutsy Boss brand. Becky's journey from journalist to entrepreneur to feminist coach is full of brave pivots, hard-earned wisdom, and a whole lot of intentional unlearning. After the sudden loss of her brother, she started asking the big questions—and her life hasn't been the same since. We talk about what it takes to break free from patriarchal conditioning, how people-pleasing sneaks into our lives and businesses, and why redefining success is an act of rebellion. Becky shares how she helps women-identified and nonbinary folks reclaim their agency, set boundaries without guilt, and build lives aligned with their values. If you've ever felt stuck in who you “should” be, this conversation will light something up in you. Connect with Becky:

In this episode, I'm unpacking the weight of hustle culture—especially how it shows up for first-gen Latinas like me. That constant pressure to be productive, to prove we belong, to carry our families and represent our communities—it's heavy. And let's be honest, it can burn us out. I talk about what it feels like to be emotionally tied to expectations we never signed up for, and how I'm learning to redefine success in a way that actually feels good. Not performative, not just for show—but real, aligned, and rooted in self-care. Because a life that just looks successful isn't enough. Welcome to the show!

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Michael Mogill—founder and CEO of Crisp—shares his journey from a four-year-old immigrant arriving in the U.S. with $500 in his family's pocket to leading one of the most influential companies in the legal marketing space. Raised by parents who had to restart their lives from scratch, Michael became the first in his family to learn English, attend college, and ultimately break into entrepreneurship. From selling POGs in elementary school to building websites in his early teens, his entrepreneurial roots run deep. But it wasn't until a camera, a side hustle, and a market pivot that Crisp was born—changing the legal marketing game forever. Michael dives into the highs and lows of building a business with no investors, the lessons learned from early failures, and the importance of health, clarity, and leadership in sustaining long-term growth. He explains how Crisp evolved from a scrappy video startup into a full-service coaching and marketing firm serving over a thousand law firms, and why he believes every law firm leader must first grow personally to grow professionally. Packed with wisdom on team building, vision-setting, and mindset shifts, this episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, legal professionals, and anyone navigating their own path to meaningful success. Takeaways: Starting from humble beginnings and overcoming early-life obstacles—like language barriers and financial hardship—can cultivate resilience and fuel long-term ambition.What starts as a small hustle or hobby can evolve into a thriving business when approached with curiosity, creativity, and persistence.When market conditions change or opportunities fade, strategic pivots—like shifting from hospitality to legal marketing—can lead to more focused and scalable business models.Outworking others and continuously developing personal capabilities are often more crucial than innate talent in building a successful business.Businesses reflect their leaders. Scaling a company requires not just better marketing or products, but also stronger leadership, better decision-making, and alignment across the team.Prioritizing physical and mental well-being is essential for sustainable leadership. It's not something to fix later—it enables better decisions and long-term success.A clear, exciting, and measurable vision is essential for alignment and growth. If the goal doesn't inspire you, it won't inspire your team either.

Business owners are often told that growth is the ultimate measure of success. Revenue, units sold, hours worked—these metrics dominate boardrooms, coaching programs, and strategy sessions. But what happens when all that growth still leaves you feeling burned out, disconnected, and unfulfilled? What if the real target wasn't just a return on investment, but a return on life? Randy Dyck, a real estate veteran with more than 7,000 homes sold over the course of 30 years, knows that question all too well. After reaching the pinnacle of professional success, he found himself asking what it all really meant. The numbers were there. The accolades were there. But something was missing. That realization became a turning point, reshaping his entire outlook on business, leadership, and personal fulfillment. Return on life isn't a rejection of financial success—it's an expansion of it. It's a mindset shift that challenges entrepreneurs to pursue not just profit, but purpose. To build businesses that serve their lives, not consume them. For Randy, this means aligning his coaching and leadership around fulfillment, energy, and authenticity. Through his Scientific Scaling Systems, he now helps real estate professionals grow their businesses without sacrificing the things that matter most—time, relationships, health, and meaning. Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that this shift isn't just philosophical—it's strategic. Entrepreneurs often believe they need to choose between success and satisfaction. But Randy argues that when you prioritize alignment, everything improves: clarity, performance, and yes—profit. When you operate in your zone of genius, when your goals are rooted in your deeper why, business growth becomes not just sustainable, but enjoyable. That shift starts with awareness. Randy shares how a personal exercise—what he calls an “energy audit”—can reveal where your time and effort are truly going. By tracking which tasks drain energy and which fuel it, entrepreneurs can begin to design their day, team, and business structure around what gives them life. From there, it becomes easier to delegate, automate, or eliminate the rest. This idea of self-alignment also ties into how Randy views leadership. It's not about declaring authority; it's about modeling curiosity, growth, and service. His leadership equation—learner, leverage, legacy—flips the typical script. The goal isn't just to scale a company, but to elevate others along the way. When leaders focus on being lifelong learners, sharing what they've learned, and helping others create their own legacy, they create businesses that thrive with purpose. In a time where burnout is rampant and “busy” is worn like a badge of honor, return on life offers an alternative—a model where success includes health, family, freedom, and fulfillment. Entrepreneurs don't have to sacrifice everything to grow. They simply need to redefine what growth means. If you're tired of chasing metrics that don't deliver meaning, if you're ready to design a business that energizes rather than drains you, Randy's perspective will resonate. Success is more than just scale—it's significance. And when you start building for both, the return on life is exponential. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Burnout doesn't just happen in therapy rooms or hospitals—it happens in boardrooms, loan offices, and anywhere women are expected to give endlessly without pause. In this episode, we're joined by Tanner Greenwalt, a seasoned mortgage professional who is changing the way her industry views mental health and success. Tanner shares her personal journey through burnout, what recovery looked like, and how she learned to set boundaries in a profession that rarely encourages it.

Episode 147: Redefining Success, Healing Through Business, and Sustainable Online Growth with Melvin Varghese, PhD What if your business could be a source of healing—not just hustle? In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Dr. Melvin Varghese—licensed psychologist, host of the Selling the Couch podcast, and founder of one of the most thoughtful, heart-centered online business communities for therapists.

His early episodes were recorded before sunrise and edited by hand between client sessions. Slowly and strategically, he built a podcast that now reaches listeners in over 120 countries and has surpassed 1.8 million downloads. “I wanted to design a career around my family and health instead of fitting my family and health around a career.” What Made His Business Work Unlike many therapists who try to leap into online business and end up burned out (
