What happens when you’ve done all the work to redefine success, and then an opportunity comes along that makes you question it all over again?
In this solo episode, Chelsea shares a confession: when a company recently reached out about a lucrative leadership opportunity, her old definition of success came roaring back.
The title. The compensation. The validation. The ability to say, See? I can still do this. For a moment, checking the box felt a lot like wanting the opportunity.
That realization became a real-time test of the Success Gets Complicated framework: Awareness → Authorship → Agency.
Chelsea walks through how to recognize when you’re outsourcing your definition of success, separate what you're capable of doing from what you actually desire, and reclaim authorship before making the next big choice.
Because success isn't a destination you arrive at, or a definition you create once and keep forever. It evolves as you do.
And sometimes the boldest choice isn't proving you can do something.
It's deciding you don't want to.
Are you outsourcing your definition of success?
