149. Why Success Feels Empty Even When You Feel Like You Have Everything | ft. Jess Ekstrom

from Call Her Creator with Katelyn Rhoades · host Katelyn Rhoades

You built the business and you’re making money.…so why does it still feel like something’s missing? In this episode of Call Her Creator, I sit down with Jess Ekstrom, Forbes Top Speaker, entrepreneur, and author of Making It Without Losing It, to unpack the truth no one talks about when it comes to success, ambition, and the pressure to keep going. We talk about the moment you realize hitting your goals doesn’t automatically bring the peace, fulfillment, or confidence you thought it would… and why so many high-achieving women feel like they can’t slow down without risking everything they’ve built. If you’ve ever felt like: You’re successful… but still anxious You can’t turn your brain off Slowing down feels unsafe Or you’re constantly chasing the “next thing” This conversation will hit. We also break down: The difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose Why success can start to feel like safety (and how that keeps you stuck) The “false summit” that keeps you chasing more How to redefine success in a way that actually feels good And the simple mindset shift (“oh well…”) that can change everything This is one of those episodes that will make you pause, reflect, and rethink what you’re actually building… and why.
