The Problem With Chasing Greatness (And What to Do Instead)
You've hit the milestones. You've checked the boxes. So why does it still feel like it's not enough?
In this episode, we're unpacking one of the most exhausting traps we fall into — the endless chase for a "greater" life — and why it's designed to leave you restless no matter how much you achieve. More importantly, you'll walk away with a simple shift that helps you finally feel good about the life you already have.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why greatness, as the world defines it, is built on measuring — and why that keeps you stuck
- The difference between chasing great and practicing gratitude (it's not what you think)
- 3 practical takeaways you can apply today to stop the cycle and start seeing your life differently
This episode is for you if:
- You're the woman who looks like she has it all together from the outside — great kids, a career you've worked hard for, a full life — and yet there's still a quiet voice that whispers still not enough
- You've achieved things you once dreamed of, but somehow the finish line just keeps moving
- You find yourself scrolling Instagram and suddenly what felt like a good day now feels like you're behind
- You're tired of measuring your worth against everyone else's highlight reel and you're ready to actually feel good about the life you already have
The Tried and Truth Podcast is for the woman who wants real talk, honest perspective, and practical tools for living a life that actually feels good.
