Episode notes
Success Built For Applause Often Feels Hollow
- High achievers often build careers to look impressive rather than to satisfy real desires.
- That external-validation path can create an existential crisis when success feels hollow.

- Repeating patterns reveal deeper commitments that contradict stated goals.
- If you keep failing to set boundaries, something else is more important to you than those boundaries.
