Episode 150: The Quickie: How To Redefine Success And Find Your Own Path To Fulfillment

The summer of girlhood is thriving: Barbie broke a billion. Taylor Swift is stabilizing the economy. We’re doing all the things, and we’ve proven we can do it all. But should we actually have to? The #hustleculture girlboss era is mellowing out and honestly, we aren’t sad to see it go.



The summer of girlhood is thriving: Barbie broke a billion. Taylor Swift is stabilizing the economy. We’re doing all the things, and we’ve proven we can do it all. But should we actually have to? The #hustleculture girlboss era is mellowing out and honestly, we aren’t sad to see it go.

What was sold to us under the guise of empowerment has become just another benchmark no one can live up to, so it’s time we start redefining success for ourselves. Too often we see success as a zero sum game; we want a prolific career, a healthy balanced life, a happy family and a fulfilling social life, all while comparing ourselves against someone who seems to be doing it better, and it’s impossible to keep up.

There’s more than one way to succeed, and it doesn’t need to be the marriage-house-baby-corporate promotion-trajectory. We’re officially letting go of those tired narratives and rewriting the script on success, because these Barbies have had enough!

Join us as we chat about:

  • Less girlbossing, more balance

  • Dismantling societal definitions of success we’ve been taught

  • Pinpointing our values and passions

  • Learning to embrace our own unique journey

  • Celebrating nontraditional milestones and others’ successes

  • Redefining failure and cultivating a growth mindset

  • How visualization fits in

  • Self-auditing your life

  • The importance of avoiding comparison

Episode 50: How To Know When It’s Time To Quit

We’ve all heard the saying “quitters never win and winners never quit”…it’s a mindset instilled in us from an early age, but is it *really* true? Spoiler alert: no, it is not. Letting something go when it’s no longer right for you isn’t a weakness or a failure. Be it a job, a relationship or even a habit, making the difficult decision to quit something can be the ultimate act of self-preservation.

Letting something go when it’s no longer right for you isn’t a weakness or a failure. Be it a job, a relationship or even a habit, making the difficult decision to quit something can be the ultimate act of self-preservation. 

Seriously, we’re big fans of moving on from jobs or situations that don’t serve us, and quitting has led to some of our biggest successes!

We’re living through The Great Resignation right now with North Americans quitting their jobs at record high rates, and if we’ve collectively learned anything from the last two chaotic years, it’s that our BS tolerance is at an all-time low, and we deserve to start prioritizing the things that bring us joy, growth and fulfillment. #YOLO!

So, this week we’re flipping the script on quitting and redefining success for ourselves. There’s only 24-hours in a day, let’s make sure they’re filled with the stuff that matters.

Join us as we discuss:

  • Redefining the narrative around quitting

  • Why society is entering "The Great Resignation"

  • How to know when it's time to quit

  • Our biggest lessons for letting go

  • What quitting can mean for your career and for creating new opportunities

  • Choosing yourself over toxic situations

  • How to quit well and leave on a high note

We hope this episode helps guide your decisions, and empowers you to find success on your own terms. You got this!
