Note: In our conversation we do briefly talk about Emma attempting to take her own life, so please decide if this episode might trigger you.

Is the desire for success actually trapping you and holding you back from happiness? Success is what so many people believe to be the route to happiness. So, they throw themselves and everything they can into carving a career that will bring them the financial rewards that equal success. But then happiness doesn’t come as part of the package.

Our guest today is passionately sharing her story of how her beliefs around success and happiness led her to a very unwell and dark place. Emma Hine thought that if she could build a successful business and reap the financial success of it, she’d be living a full and happy life. Except what she got was the exact opposite.

Join us as Emma shares the toll pushing to keep achieving success took on her health and happiness, and how she’s managed to begin turning her life around, putting health very much at the top of her list and new business strategy.

Today we chat about:

• The reasons why our understanding of success and happiness create beliefs that wealth is the key.
• Emma’s long journey striving for more and more success to find the happiness she was seeking.
• The downward spiral that took hold and pushed Emma deeper into poor mental health.
• How focusing only on the success you think will bring happiness leads to losing sight of what will really create this for you.
• The cost of not prioritising your health and realising that without health you have nothing.
• Knowing that there is no magic wand to making changes and instantly fixing how you feel.
• Taking one step at a time to move towards what you really want and know will help you to feel true happiness.
• Accepting that you are a work-in-progress and that  this opens so many exciting opportunities for your future self.
• Why wealth is the most important thing you can do to take control of your life and live a happy life.
