474. Don’t confuse status with purpose

from Aligned Ambition with Pooja V. · host Pooja Venkatraman

This episode is about why it’s so hard to get clear on what you actually want, especially as a high achiever.I talk about:How subtle peer pressure distorts your true desiresTwo questions that help you separate what you want from what looks impressiveHow to work with status consciously instead of pretending it doesn’t matterIf you’ve ever felt unsure whether you genuinely want to be on the path you’re on…Or whether you’re just being driven by social pressure… This episode will give you a clean, simple way to tell the difference.And if asking these questions cracks open a can of worms… If you realize you’re not sure what you want, or you’re not sure whether you want to stay on your current path…You’re not alone.That exact moment is where coaching was most helpful for me.You don’t need to make a rash decision. You don’t need to quit your job.You do need space to think clearly, untangle what’s driving what, and make a grounded decision you can stand behind.If that’s where you are, book a free coaching consult and let’s talk: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact And email me anytime with thoughts, feedback, and topics you’d like to see covered on the podcast! ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠
