Redefining Success: A Human-First Approach to Goal Setting
In this episode of the Climb Tribe podcast, Kelsey invites feminist business coach Becky Mollenkamp to discuss redefining success and setting human-first goals. Becky shares her journey of shifting away from hustle culture to a more intentional and sustainable business model. She talks about the importance of understanding your 'enough' number and prioritizing internal well-being over external metrics.
They explore strategies for integrating emotions and personal values into goal setting and discuss the impact of societal conditioning on our perceptions of success. Becky emphasizes the significance of surrounding oneself with supportive communities and shares practical ways to set goals that energize rather than drain you.
The episode concludes with insights on the importance of accountability and the ongoing process of unlearning patriarchal norms.
Becky is a feminist business coach who helps service providers make the leap from small business owner to CEO without replicating toxic Corporate America.

The hedonic treadmill is the idea that your brain quickly gets used to good things, so the happiness they bring doesn’t last.
You reach a goal, feel great for a moment, then it becomes normal. Soon, you’re chasing the next goal to feel that same excitement again.
More money → feels amazing → becomes normal → you want more
Big win → excitement fades → new target appears
