The Truth About Over-Achieving

In this soul-stirring episode of KimUnity Soulutions, host Kim the SME peels back the layers of the word “Over-Achiever” and boldly asks: Is it really over-achieving or is it someone simply walking in their purpose with precision and power?

Too often, ambition is misjudged, drive is diminished, and passion is misunderstood, especially in the workplace and within our closest relationships. What if the discomfort isn't about the person achieving, but about the perspective of the one watching?

Kim challenges us to shift the spotlight...not on those going above and beyond, but on those doing the labeling. Through honest reflection, cultural insight, and her own lived experience, she explores:

• Why overachievers are often just visionaries in motion.

• How generational and cultural expectations shape achievement.

• The silent triggers behind labeling others as “too much”.

• What we risk when we judge another’s pace instead of our own purpose.

Kim also introduces Questions & Perspectives, her new conversation card deck designed to spark deeper connection, insight, and grace-filled dialogue in every space, from the boardroom to the family room.

Whether you've been called an over-achiever or caught yourself calling someone else one, this episode is your invitation to slow down and reflect: whose standard are we measuring by and what vision are we willing to honor?
