If you’ve ever hit a big milestone and thought, “that’s it?” - this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why success can still feel empty, why you might struggle to feel proud even after achieving something meaningful, and how imposter thinking and “not earning it the right way” strip the satisfaction out of your wins.
In this episode, I talk about what it is like to finish something big - self-love affirmation cards - and still not feel proud, confident, or successful.
A few years ago, I worked with Penguin Random House to create self-love affirmation cards. The process forced me to confront imposter syndrome after success, the gap between external achievement and internal self-trust, and why success does not automatically make you feel better about yourself.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Imposter syndrome after success and achievement letdown
- Why success does not fix self-worth or self-trust
- How I really feel about affirmations
- Editing conflict and protecting your creative voice
- Power dynamics in publishing and being afraid to push back
- What I learned about book deals, contracts, and agents
- Launching something publicly and still feeling conflicted
- Learning how to take a win without minimizing it
