Pt 2: The Success Myth with Emma Gannon

In part 2, Emma Gannon reveals why the traditional view of success wasn’t making her happy and how she changed her life because of it.


Emma and Dr Alex discuss the great resignation, why the most successful year of her life left her feeling down and why even though she’s earning less money she’s happier than ever. 


Plus, Emma explains how to let go of your preconceived notion of success, why gratitude is a huge part of redefining it and tiny steps to set better boundaries.
