Creating Your Own Path to Success

In this episode, we are joined by therapist Cory Grad to explore the often complex and deeply personal concept of success. Cory opens up about his own journey to becoming a therapist and reflects on how his definition of success has evolved along the way. We unpack how external influences—like cultural expectations and family pressures—can derail a person’s sense of purpose and contribute to mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression.

Cory shares practical strategies to help listeners redefine success on their own terms, emphasizing the power of self-reflection and values-based goal setting. Drawing from real-life examples in his clinical practice, he illustrates how individuals can recalibrate their goals to foster greater fulfillment and emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating a career shift, questioning your priorities, or simply curious about what success really means, this conversation offers thoughtful guidance and encouragement to help you chart a more authentic path forward.
