Finding Purpose Beyond Success: Breaking Free from the Golden Handcuffs
In the latest episode of Sheila's Take, I dive deep into a paradox that many successful professionals face - achieving external success while feeling internally unfulfilled. Our special guest, Dean Taylor, brings over 25 years of experience helping career dads rediscover their spark and purpose.
The Success Trap
Many of us chase societal definitions of success - the prestigious job, the comfortable salary, the impressive title. But what happens when you reach these milestones only to feel empty? Dean Taylor understands this struggle intimately, having navigated this journey himself before becoming a mentor to others.
