136. Wanting More: The Paradox of Success

 
You’ve worked hard. You’ve achieved more than most.
So why does it still feel like something’s missing?
In this episode of The Becoming You Show, we unpack the quiet truth so many high-achievers carry: success doesn’t always feel like it should. You have the career, the life, the relationships—and yet… there’s a low hum of restlessness, a desire for more, and a guilt that comes with wanting it.


This is the paradox of success—when everything looks good on the outside, but feels incomplete on the inside.
In this episode, Leah reveals the real reason behind this disconnect: your brain is still wired for survival, not fulfillment. And until you learn how to manage it, you’ll keep chasing, buffering, or settling—no matter how much you achieve.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why wanting more doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful—it means you’re evolving
  
• How the brain’s motivational triad is sabotaging your satisfaction
  
• The three most common signs of success-driven suffering: unhappiness, procrastination, and buffering
  
• How to use the Coaching Model to stop repeating your past and start designing your future
  

If you’ve ever thought “I should be happier by now,” or “Why can’t I just enjoy what I have?”—this episode will bring clarity, compassion, and tools to help you shift.
 
This is your invitation to stop settling and start creating the extraordinary life you were made for—on purpose, with purpose.
 Listen now if you’re ready to stop buffering, start becoming, and finally say yes to the more you’ve been quietly craving.
