Ever hit your goals and think "Is this it?" (Yeah, you're not alone.)

In this episode, I'm diving into that awkward gap between crushing your business goals and actually feeling fulfilled. Because let's be honest - the "hustle, achieve, repeat" cycle is getting old. 

I break down my Spiral of Ascension framework and why so many of us get stuck at Level 5 (achievement/self-interest) chasing external wins while our souls are desperate to evolve to Level 6 (harmony/purpose). 

You'll discover why your obsession with "freedom" might actually be a sign you're disconnected from what truly lights you up. Ouch, I know. 

This isn't just philosophical talk - I share exactly how to identify what internally motivates you beyond the dopamine hit of achievement. And yes, you can have both prosperity AND purpose without burning everything down to "find yourself." 

Whether you're already successful but secretly wondering "what's next?" or building toward your goals and wanting to avoid the empty success trap, this episode offers the blueprint to break free from the achievement loop. 

Ready to stop the Phoenix Rising cycle and actually love your life? Let's do this.
