Success at What Cost? Career, Faith & the Price of Validation

from The Well Podcast · host Sherica Hymes

"Success at What Cost? Career, Faith & the Price of Validation"Guest: Roquita Coleman-WilliamsFor years, Roquita Coleman-Williams was on an unstoppable chase for validation—climbing the corporate ladder, earning titles, breaking barriers. She was doing everything “right” in the eyes of the world, but in the process, she was unknowingly sacrificing her health, relationships, and sanity. It wasn’t until a series of career disappointments, a stroke she didn’t even realize she had, and an undeniable encounter with God that she finally saw the truth: the love, peace, and fulfillment she was searching for couldn’t be found in success—it had to come from within.And the moment she stopped chasing validation and surrendered to faith, healing, and clarity? The success she had been striving for all along started chasing her.In this episode, Roquita gets real about the cost of high achievement, the dangers of people-pleasing through success, and the power of letting go to let God lead. If you’re a career-driven woman, a working mom, or someone recovering from the endless hustle for approval, this conversation will remind you that your worth was never meant to be measured by your achievements alone.Producer: Walter Person  - https://sonstormstudio.com/Videographer: Tim Meier - Boom-Cane CreativePhotography: Camille Leigh - https://camilleleigh.com/#CareerWomen #FaithAndSuccess #HealingFromHustle #WorkingMomLife #RedefiningSuccess #GodCenteredAmbition #TheWellPodcast
