“Even if you are successful, you can be restless; there is always the feeling that there is more.”*
There is a common misconception that "achievement" equals "being happy." However, for most people, this isn't true. There is more to happiness and personal fulfillment than an accomplished career, public approval, and/or financial stability.
There is also a need to feel an inner sense of living true to ourselves, living a life connected to what we value and that is consistently enjoyable.
My clients are women who have achieved success and financial stability but realize that they want more from life. My clients don't just want success, they want fulfillment.

How do you do that?
No matter how much money you make, no matter how much others applaud you, you need to feel that your life is going somewhere that means something to you. There's this idea that once all the money/fame/accomplishment comes in, there'll be no more stress, no more worries, and you'll feel happy and fulfilled.
What if I told you that success is a magnifier and that if you don't understand that, and know how to work with it, your life can start to feel disconnected, frustrating and not satisfying.
Success can sometimes even make you feel miserable which is completely the opposite of what most people expect.
The reason is because when you reach a level of financial freedom, you have choice. You can do more and have more, the possibilities are endless and yet, at the same time, you get trapped. Success can trap you in a gilded cage of your insecurities and fears.
My experience is that success creates two spin-offs:
One, it magnifies: problems, options, solutions
Two, it creates opportunities: for connection and disconnection,
Understanding these spin-offs, knowing how to handle them and use them to your advantage is key to a life that feels authentic and worthwhile to you. When you learn this, you learn to leverage your success to work for you rather than against you.
