Society loves to label success as “luck” because it’s something that’s easier to digest than facing the intense grit, sacrifice and resilience it takes to achieve something big. When people see a “lucky break,” they rarely see the countless nights of self-doubt, the near-misses, the rejection emails, and the times you felt on the edge of giving up.

Join me as I explore the deeper meaning of self-worth and why it's time to redefine how we see ourselves beyond our careers.
