Are YOU successful? - Western Expectations vs Your Heart

from 5050 · host Tamaracallaghan

Are you actually successful, or are you just measuring yourself against a standard someone else handed you? In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into one of the most loaded words in the Western world and asks the question most of us are quietly afraid to sit with.  Tam introduces Barbara, the name she's given to her ego, that grasping, never-satisfied inner voice that worries about how things look and whether she's keeping up. Drawing on her own experiences living in Peru, returning to one of Perth's wealthiest suburbs, and eventually leaving a high-powered Sydney career for a $2,000 Ford Laser, she makes a case for choosing heart success over grasping success.  Funny, honest, and genuinely thought-provoking.  Healing From Self-Abandonment In this episode:  Why advertising is designed to make you feel like you're lacking  What living in Peru taught Tam about how much of our stress is environmental  Status anxiety, social media, and the Sydney chapter  What success actually looks like to Tam at 52  The Dalai Lama story that sums it all up perfectly  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast  Join the conversation!
