Episode 55: This Is Why Winning Never Feels Like Enough with Ruchika T. Malhotra

What if success wasn’t a scorecard, but a sense of connection? What if the most powerful thing you could do this week was to stop treating life like a zero-sum game?

 

Ruchika T. Malhotra, author of Uncompete and Inclusion on Purpose, joins us for a conversation about redefining success, rejecting scarcity thinking, and building a life rooted in community.

 

In this episode of In Confidence, Ruchika and Lisa unpack how to reject competition and the five principles of Uncompete that make confidence feel steadier and more sustainable.

 

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why “success” keeps moving, and how to define it in a way that actually feels like you
• The five principles of Uncompete and how to apply them to your life
• This week’s micro-moment, Worst Case, Best Case, Most Likely: a simple tool to stop catastrophizing and choose your own metrics

If you’re tired of measuring, comparing, and chasing someone else’s definition of winning, this is your permission slip to choose a different path.
