The Lemon Squeeze: Finding True Success with Kayla Logue
Manage episode 486848557 series 3552464
What happens when the life that looks perfect on paper leaves you feeling empty inside? In this revealing conversation with bestselling author Kayla Logue, we challenge conventional definitions of success and explore what it truly means to live a fulfilling life.
Kayla shares her remarkable journey from feeling trapped in a "storybook" existence to boldly redefining her path as an author, multi-unit Pilates franchise owner, and founder of the nonprofit Move Into Words. With raw honesty, she recounts walking away from her seemingly perfect life with just $900 to her name—a decision that ultimately led to authentic happiness and meaningful success.
"Success really does look different for everybody," Kayla explains, highlighting how our pursuit of external validation creates a cycle of emptiness rather than fulfillment. We discuss why so many people remain stuck in unfulfilling relationships, jobs, and situations, afraid to make changes that could lead to greater happiness. Through Kayla's personal experiences, we uncover how journaling with genuine intention helped her process emotions, create clarity, and chart a new course aligned with her true desires.
The conversation tackles the myth of overnight success in entrepreneurship, revealing the consistency, patience, and sacrifice behind every achievement. Kayla dispels common misconceptions about building businesses, emphasizing that true success comes from living authentically and prioritizing what matters most: time freedom, meaningful relationships, and mental and physical well-being.
Whether you're questioning your current path, feeling trapped in golden handcuffs, or simply curious about redefining success on your own terms, this episode offers powerful insights on breaking free from societal expectations and creating a life that feels genuinely successful—not just on paper, but in your heart.
