This week’s episode is a powerful reframe for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re “behind” because they’re not checking off the same old boxes.

Kiwanis opens up about how her definition of success has shifted in midlife—from hustle and external validation to peace, boundaries, healing, and joy.

If you’re tired of chasing what you were told would make you happy and ready to define success on your own terms, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a fresh start.

Key Takeaways

• The old definition of success (degrees, titles, achievements) may no longer fit.
• Real success might look like rest, joy, peace, or letting go.
• Redefining success means asking: What actually matters to me now?
• You’re not behind—you’re evolving.
• You have full permission to create a version of success that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good from the outside.
