TRAILER- I'm Doing Well... So Why Does This Feel Empty

Send us Fan Mail Episode 19 is here. Have you ever worked so hard to achieve something, only to get there and wonder why it doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would?  I spent 21.5 years at Coca-Cola building teams, hitting targets, and working toward goals. When I retired, the titles, recognition, and structure I had built my life around were suddenly gone. I knew my career didn’t define me, but learning to live that truth was a different story.  In this episode, I sit down with Chris Simpson, president and CEO of CBMC International, to talk about achievement, meaning, and the danger of tying our identity to power, recognition, and success.  Chris shared how he was doing well professionally but began to notice something was missing at home, in his marriage, and in how he showed up for his family. It made me think about how easy it is to look successful on the outside while neglecting what matters most.  Achievements can build your résumé, but they cannot be the foundation of your identity. You don’t have to wait until retirement to ask what you’re really building and who you’re becoming along the way.  Episode 19 is here. Go listen and tell me what part of this conversation stayed with you.
