In this thought-provoking episode, I explore one of life's most powerful metaphors: what happens when we realise the ladder we've been climbing is leaning against the wrong wall? Many of us work tirelessly toward goals we set years ago, only to discover that our values and desires have shifted along the way. Drawing from Stephen Covey's wisdom, I dig into why achievement can sometimes feel hollow despite "doing everything right."
I share practical strategies for pausing to reassess your direction, beginning with the end in mind, and making intentional choices that align with your true values. We'll also explore Bronnie Ware's illuminating work with the dying and their most common regrets. If you've ever felt that disconnect between success and fulfillment, this episode offers the permission and guidance you need to reorient your ladder—because it's never too late to climb the right wall.
