    65. Happiness vs Fulfillment
    Jun 25 2026
    In our last episode, we talked about chasing happiness. This week, I want to answer the question that naturally follows... If happiness isn't the goal, what is? As high-achievers, we often worry that if we become content, we'll stop growing. That appreciating what we have somehow means settling for less. But what if contentment and complacency aren't the same thing? What if accepting where you are isn't about giving up...but about gaining the clarity to intentionally create what comes next? In this episode, I explore the difference between happiness and fulfillment, why so many of us postpone gratitude until the next milestone, and how acceptance, contentment, and congruence work together to create a life that actually fits. What We Explore
    • Happiness vs fulfillment...Why happiness is a feeling that comes and goes, while fulfillment has more staying power because it's rooted in meaning and alignment.
    • Contentment isn't complacency...Why appreciating where you are doesn't mean you've stopped growing…and why "this is enough right now" is very different from "this is enough forever."
    • Acceptance creates clarity...How acknowledging reality isn't settling. It's the starting point for intentional growth.
    • Congruence...Why fulfillment comes from creating a life that fits…one that's aligned with your values, priorities, strengths, and definition of success.
    Questions to Consider Are you chasing happiness...or creating fulfillment? Where have you been postponing appreciation until the next milestone? And perhaps the biggest question of all... Does this fit? Does this relationship fit? Does this role fit? Does this goal fit? Does this version of success fit? And here’s where you can find me…

  • 64. Chasing Happiness

    64. Chasing Happiness
    Jun 16 2026
    It's mid-June, and I've already declared it a long summer. Our boys have been out of school for three weeks, and at this point, my parenting goal is for them to maintain literacy until school starts again in August. I genuinely love having them home, and it's been a long summer. Both can be true…And one of the biggest traps we fall into as humans is thinking they can’t be. We're told to pursue happiness. We think we need to find it, choose it, and protect it...as if happiness is a destination to be reached. But what if the expectation of being happy all the time is actually what keeps us unhappy? In this episode, I explore why we struggle to hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time. That if we're grateful, we shouldn't feel annoyed. If we're happy, we shouldn't feel sad. If we love our kids, we shouldn't be frustrated by them. But what if the problem isn't that we experience both? What if the problem is that we expect ourselves not to? What We Explore
    • The myth of permanent happiness…Why happiness isn't a destination and why expecting it to be can create unnecessary suffering.
    • The second layer of suffering…How we turn normal human emotions into problems by judging ourselves for experiencing them.
    • Package deals…Why the things we value most often come bundled with both rewards and challenges.
    • The power of "and"...How it can shift the way we think about gratitude, frustration, joy, sadness, and everything in between.
    • Being human…Why experiencing opposite emotions doesn't mean something is wrong. It means you're alive.
    Questions to Consider Where are you making yourself wrong for being human? What emotion have you been resisting, judging, or trying to eliminate? And what if it's not evidence that something is wrong? What if it's simply part of the package? Here’s where you can find me…

  • 63. How Fascinating: Rethinking Failure, Resilience, & Growth with Tom Hicks

    63. How Fascinating: Rethinking Failure, Resilience, & Growth with Tom Hicks
    May 28 2026

    Failure tends to feel personal. A missed opportunity. A mistake at work. A relationship ending. A plan falling apart. For a lot of us, failure doesn’t just feel like something that happened. It feels like evidence about who we are. In this episode, I’m with keynote and workshop speaker Tom Hicks to talk about what happened when a really difficult season of life unexpectedly led him to a set of juggling balls…and ultimately to a completely different relationship with failure. Tom now teaches people and organizations how to juggle while helping them rethink perfectionism, growth, resilience, and what it actually means to fail.

    We talked about:
    • Why so many high-achievers struggle with failure
    • The difference between understanding growth mindset intellectually vs. actually experiencing it
    • Why play matters more than we realize as adults
    • How curiosity changes our relationship with mistakes
    • The phrase “how fascinating” and why it’s more powerful than it sounds
    • Why many “failures” are actually redirections
    • The importance of kindness toward ourselves

    One of my favorite parts of the conversation was this reminder…You already have the ability to navigate failure. You’ve been doing it your entire life. You may just need to reconnect with it. Also… it feels important to mention that we had multiple technology issues and recording glitches during this episode…which made the entire “how fascinating” conversation even more fitting. 😂

He provides practical and fun leadership development experiences that blend storytelling, reflection, and active learning to create deeper connections while playing with a purpose for individuals, teams, and organizations. Tom has worked at all levels in higher education for the past 20+ years and has coached thousands of students, staff, and executives on failure, growth, and resilience.
