In this episode, we sit down with Becca Pearce, former CEO, author of You Don’t Have to Achieve to Be Loved, and executive coach, to talk about what happens when success no longer feels like success. After losing her role in a very public way and later facing a brain tumor diagnosis, Becca was forced to rethink how she defined achievement, identity, and fulfillment.We explore how to recognize when you’re living someone else’s definition of success, why time matters more than titles, and how fear (especially around money) keeps people stuck longer than they need to be. Becca also shares how to change direction without waiting for a crisis, and what self-reinvention can look like when you want alignment, not chaos.This conversation is for entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals who have checked all the boxes but still feel restless, unfulfilled, or ready for something more honest.
