When Success Stops Feeling Like Success with Todd Patkin | #12
What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels like a life you want to live? Todd Patkin, an author, speaker, and happiness expert, shares how years of perfectionism, relentless achievement, and working toward the next level eventually led to a nervous breakdown. His experience changed the way he understood success and inspired him to help others build happiness through small, intentional changes. In this conversation, Todd and Victoria explore: • Why achievement can become a measure of self-worth • How to recognize the warning signs of burnout before a crisis • The power of exercise, self-talk, gratitude, and positive relationships • Why you do not have to wait for a breakdown to start living differently If you are ambitious, capable, and constantly telling yourself you will feel better when you reach the next goal, this conversation is for you. You do not have to abandon your ambition to make room for happiness. Sometimes, the smallest changes are what help you feel alive in the life you have already built.
