Welcome back to Your Path to Career Success, the podcast that helps you build the skills, confidence, and strategies to thrive in your career.

And can you believe it? This is the final episode of Season 7 — and what a journey it’s been! With 75+ episodes and over 1,000 downloads since we launched in November 2023, I’m so grateful you’ve been part of this growing community.

In this special wrap-up episode, we’re diving into a transformative topic that could completely shift how you define and pursue success: letting go of "should" and rewriting your own success story.

Because the truth is, so many of us get stuck chasing other people’s definitions of success. But when you release the pressure of external expectations, you create space for your own authentic vision to emerge — and that’s where real fulfilment begins.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why “Should” Feels So Heavy — Uncover why we often feel trapped by the word should and how it subtly shapes our career decisions.
• The Impact of External Expectations — Learn how to spot when societal pressures or family beliefs are holding you back from your true path.
• Break Free from the Success Formula — Discover how to challenge the traditional, one-size-fits-all success narrative and define what success really looks like for you.
• Practical Strategies to Rewrite Your Story — Get actionable steps to align your career with your passions, values, and unique timeline.
• How to Embrace Uncertainty with Confidence — Find out how letting go of what no longer serves you can open up exciting new opportunities.
