Could Success Finally Feel like Success in 2025?


If you hit your goals on paper in 2024

and it still feels like something

is missing, this is

for you.

Because “success” doesn’t always feel successful.

If your wins don’t align

with what fulfills you,

they’ll always feel

a little hollow.


Simply setting bigger goals for 2025 won’t do the trick.

You’re a high-achiever, so you’ll hit those goals too…

but you’ll be stuck in the same trap of

psuedo-success until you

set the right goals.

The right goals for you.

Goals that are rooted in what YOU value most,

not what someone else considers

impressive or desirable.

Not what you’ve been

taught to want,

told to want.

Goals that reflect the life you actually want to live.

Success on YOUR terms.

That’s why I created the Satisfaction Self-Assessment.


It’s easy to get so caught up

pursuing the cultural definition of success that

you forget to ask yourself what you actually want for yourself.

This assessment gives you the clarity to answer the questions

  • What do I really want?
  • What would make me finally feel successful, fulfilled proud?

You’ll reflect on 13 key areas of your life and

create a vision of success that’s rooted in

your values, priorities, and aspirations.

From there, you’ll map out the gaps

between where you are now &

where you want to be.

This is your roadmap for 2025.


How It Helps You Win (On Your Terms)

Clarity:

Finally understand what

fulfillment means for YOU,

not what society says it should be.

Focus:

Stop pouring energy into the wrong things.

Align your time, effort, and choices with what truly fills you up.

Actionable Steps:

Define what success looks like and

build a plan to get there,

one move at a time.

Momentum:

Maintain progress and alignment by

using the assessment quarterly to

recalibrate your goals so that

they evolve along with you.

This isn’t about setting impossible goals or chasing perfection.

It’s about being intentional, proactive, and realistic.

Because you deserve a life that feels as good as it looks.

Accountability: The Secret to Success with Your 2025 Goals Every January, we kick-start new goals with energy and optimism, only to find ourselves slipping by “Quitters’ Day” (typically the second Friday of January, when most resolutions fail). But what if you could 10x your likelihood of success? Turns out, there’s a formula to make that happen… and it’s simpler than you think (no real math required 😅). A study by the Association for Talent Development highlights the power of accountability:...

The start of a new year is the perfect time to adopt a habit that can transform your life. Unlike the many “lifestyle habits” that flood your feed in January, this one offers a deeper, more intentional benefit by combining structure with mindfulness. A ritual is a regular action or behavior that is performed consistently and intentionally, with awareness, purpose & meaning. Rituals provide structure to our lives (particularly helpful during uncertainty or high stress) and that structure alone...

The Holiday Season Can Be Hard… for so many people and so many reasons. Old family dynamics resurface. The roles we’ve worked so hard to grow beyond suddenly feel like they’re set in stone again. And there you are, a fully-functioning adult who is suddenly fourteen again. Expectations, ours and others’, press in from all sides. It can be easy to lose sight of who you’ve become when you’re surrounded with reminders of, and tethers to, who you used to be. So, how can you stay grounded and...
