What if the life you’re working so hard to build isn’t actually the life you want?
In this powerful episode, Lori A. Harris explores the tension between inherited ambitions and authentic fulfillment. Many of us unknowingly follow scripts handed down by family, culture, and society chasing achievements that look successful from the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside.
Lori unpacks how people-pleasing, achievement addiction, and external validation can shape our identities and leave us feeling restless despite reaching our goals. Through personal stories and thought-provoking insights, she challenges listeners to examine whether their ambitions truly belong to them. This conversation is an invitation to stop postponing your desires, reconnect with your values, and redefine success on your own terms.
If you’ve ever wondered why achieving more doesn’t always feel better, this episode is for you.
