Redefining Success - This Wasn't My Plan

What this episode covers

Original Air Date: 1/30/26If you’ve done everything “right” and it still doesn’t feel right… listen to this. Season Two opens with a reset. Not because something broke. Not because I’m burned out. But because the version of success I was chasing no longer fits the life I’m living. And if you’re feeling that same quiet tension—this episode is for you. This episode is about one distinction that changes everything Most high-achievers are incredibly accomplished. They’ve stacked credentials. Titles. Wins. Proof. But accomplishment isn’t the same as success. This conversation is about learning the difference—and what happens when you stop measuring your life by what looks impressive and start paying attention to what actually feels sustainable. You’ll resonate with this episode if: • You’ve built a career that works, but something still feels off • You’re not lost or starting over—you’re just recalibrating • You’re standing in the in-between, questioning old definitions of success • You know your values, but your life availability has changed What this episode will shift for you • Why accomplishment can feel safe—but still leave you unsettled • How to recognize when you’re chasing validation instead of alignment • What “life leadership” actually looks like in this season • Why redefining success isn’t failure—it’s growth What Season Two is really about This season is built around real conversations with people whose lives didn’t go according to plan. Founders. Leaders. Professionals. Partners. People who honored the pivot instead of fighting it. No polish. No pretending. Just honest conversations about evolution, recalibration, and building a life that fits. Before you go Season Two episodes will be released as they’re recorded—there’s no fixed drop day. Make sure you’re following or subscribed so you don’t miss a conversation. Share this episode with someone navigating their own in-between season. And DM @rxashleehayes with this question: What does success feel like for you right now?
