When success stops feeling successful

I chose this topic on purpose as 2025 draws to an end and many look into 2026 as a clean slate.

There’s a moment many high achievers don’t talk about.
It doesn’t show up on résumés or LinkedIn headlines.
It shows up at 2:17 a.m.

You’ve done everything right:
✔️ The titles
✔️ The compensation
✔️ The reputation

And yet… something feels hollow.

This isn’t burnout.
This isn’t a lack of ambition.
This is an existential pause.

It’s the quiet question whispering beneath performance: “Is this it?”
“Why does winning feel so empty?”
“Who am I without the grind?”

High achievers are especially vulnerable here.
When your identity has been built on impact, output, and excellence,
the moment meaning goes offline can feel destabilizing.

Most try to outrun it.
More goals. More pressure. Another promotion.
(Plot twist: the question keeps up.)

Here’s the reframe I offer my clients:

An existential crisis isn’t a breakdown.
It’s an upgrade request from your nervous system and your values.

This is where my work begins.

I help senior leaders and high performers:
• slow the internal noise without losing their edge
• separate identity from achievement
• reconnect to what actually matters now (not ten years ago)
• build a version of success that feels aligned, sustainable, and alive

This is Pause to Rise™.
Not stepping away from ambition —
but learning how to lead from meaning instead of chasing it.

If you’re winning on paper but questioning everything in private,
you’re not broken.

You’re early in your next evolution.

And that pause you’re resisting?
It might be the most strategic move you make this year.

Hope doesn’t only live in the mind.
It’s forged in motion. 💫

Research shows that when your muscles contract, they release chemical messengers called myokines.
Tiny signals with outsized impact.

Irisin.
BDNF.
Endorphins.

They travel upward—
from body to brain—
lifting mood, sharpening clarity, softening despair.

This is why a walk can change your outlook.
Why stretching your arms can stretch your sense of possibility.
Why movement isn’t productivity… it’s medicine.

Hope, it turns out, is not passive.
It’s secreted when you choose to move—
even gently, even imperfectly.

So if today feels heavy:
don’t think your way out of it.
Contract a muscle.
Stand up.
Breathe.
Take one step.

Your body knows how to make hope. 🌱

This weekend, as many lit candles for the Festival of Lights,
the world flickered with darker headlines.

A shooting near Brown University.
Violence in Sydney.
A life taken in Los Angeles, behind the walls of what should have been home.

Hannukah reminds us that light is not loud.
It is fragile. Intentional. Chosen—again and again—when darkness feels overwhelming.

And every headline whispered the same truth:
somewhere, someone was trembling with fear 😨
A student. A family. A stranger whose name we may never know.

Let us not grow numb.

When safety feels scarce, it invites a harder question:
Are we placing our energy, our leadership, our attention in the right places?

This season is an invitation—especially for those who lead—to pause, to look honestly, and to ask:
What does it mean to protect human life?
What does it mean to restore trust, dignity, and peace?

Tonight, I light a candle in my heart.
For those who are grieving.
For those who are afraid.
For those whose lives were shattered by what should never have happened.

May this Festival of Lights remind us that leadership begins with care.
And that even the smallest flame—when tended—can push back the dark. 🕯️

Let me tell you more about: How SPEED can slow down the progress of projects.

These terms should not be underestimated within a large organization. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗖-𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.💡

Upon further review with my client, we observed the following:

The new leadership, while eager to demonstrate capability, is exhibiting a pace that is negatively impacting project velocity and strategic planning. This urgency is creating misalignment within the ecosystem, which requires seamless collaboration among engineering, product, and project management to achieve optimal output.

This scenario exemplifies how 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬.

We will explore how leaders can achieve speed without generating disarray by strategically decelerating. Please tune into this episode of with Maryam Marzara, MSOD, CPCC, PCC for further insights.( Link in comments)

Driven doesn’t mean invincible.

For high achievers, imbalance rarely looks like chaos.
It looks like momentum.

Deadlines met.
Goals exceeded.
Days full—yet strangely hollow.

When you’re driven, being out of balance can feel productive.
You tell yourself it’s just a season.
That rest can wait.
That alignment will come after the next milestone.

But imbalance has a quiet cost.

It shows up as irritability you can’t explain.
Success that feels heavier than it should.
A sense that you’re winning—while slowly losing yourself.

In my book Pause to Rise, I write about balance not as a perfect equation,
but as a living relationship—
one that requires attention, honesty, and regular recalibration.

Balance isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing what matters without abandoning yourself in the process.

For driven individuals, the danger isn’t burnout alone.
It’s misdirection.
Pouring your best energy into a life that no longer fits.

Sometimes the bravest move isn’t to push harder—
it’s to pause long enough to notice what’s out of alignment,
and choose again.

If this resonates, consider this a gentle check-in:
Where have you been compensating instead of balancing?

Because growth without balance doesn’t lead to fulfillment.
It leads to distance—from your values, your energy, and your sense of self.

And no amount of achievement can close that gap.

For the strivers, the builders, the ones who keep going—this is your reminder.

We’ve been taught that progress looks like motion.
More effort.
More output.
Another box checked.👍💯

So when things feel off, our instinct is to do more.
Push harder.
Move faster.
Surely momentum will fix it.

But for strivers, the real breakthrough often comes
when we stop running and start listening.

Self-reflection isn’t a pause from progress.
It is progress.

It’s the moment you notice you’re climbing the right ladder—
or the wrong one.
It’s the courage to ask not What’s next?
but Why am I doing this at all?

Doing more can take you further.
But reflection determines whether you’re heading in the right direction.

For those who lead, carry responsibility, and rarely slow down,
clarity doesn’t come in the noise.
It comes in intentional space—
with structure, safety, and the right people in the room.

If you’re a high performer who feels the pull to pause—
not to quit, but to realign—
DM me “Huddle.”
I’ll share details about our exclusive end-of-year Huddle for leaders,
designed to help strivers reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with purpose.

Before you do more—
ask yourself if you’re listening enough.

Because sometimes, the most productive thing you can do
is stop… and see clearly.

What dream are you letting time pass without pursuing?✨️✨️✨️✨️

Time doesn’t ask for permission.
It moves—quietly, faithfully—
whether we act or hesitate,
whether we believe or doubt.

So many dreams don’t fade because they aren’t meant for us.
They fade because we tell ourselves later.
Later, when there’s more clarity.
More confidence.
More time.

But time was never the barrier.
Only the story we told ourselves about it.

What if the dream you keep postponing
isn’t asking for perfection—
only permission?
Permission to begin small.
To be unfinished.
To grow while you go.

And maybe—just maybe—
the courage to start is the dream’s way
of meeting you halfway.

A short poem:

Time walks on, steady and kind,
Unmoved by fear or doubt in the mind.
Dreams don’t expire, they wait for the call—
To choose them now, imperfect and all.

Let this be your reminder:
A year will pass either way.
The question is simple—and powerful:

Will your dream be closer when it does?

If this resonates, take one small step today.
Not because the timing is perfect—
but because the dream is still alive.

And if you decide to look your wins to shape what matters for your 2026 roadmap, dm me HUDDLE. We are hosting a workshop for a limited audience to hold space for such exploration.

What if the thing you’re meant to do is also what heals you?💡💡💡💡

What if your purpose isn’t something separate from your pain—but shaped by it?😉

We often search for meaning as if it lives somewhere far away:
in titles, milestones, or someone else’s definition of success.
But sometimes, purpose is quieter.
It shows up in the moments when you feel most yourself—
when time softens, breath deepens, and something inside you settles.

Maybe what you’re meant to do is the very thing that helped you survive.
The work that gave your hurt a voice.
The skill you learned to make sense of chaos.
The way you listen, build, teach, create, or care—
not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.

Healing doesn’t always come from stepping away from the story.
Sometimes it comes from owning it.
Turning wounds into wisdom.
Experience into empathy.
And lived lessons into light for others.

What if your calling isn’t just about impact—
but about integration?
About becoming whole by doing the work that reminds you who you are.

If this resonates, pause for a moment today and ask yourself:
What energizes me, even after everything I’ve been through?

That answer might be more than a passion.
It might be the path home.

Perception says: This is happening to me.
Perspective asks: What might be happening within them?

Perception is narrow.
It stands inside the moment, flooded with feeling.
It believes the story the nervous system tells first.

Perspective steps back.
It creates space.
It remembers that every behavior has a history.

When we stay trapped in perception, we personalize everything.
A delayed reply becomes rejection.
A sharp tone becomes disrespect.
A closed heart becomes cruelty.

But perspective whispers another possibility:
maybe they’re overwhelmed.
Maybe they’re afraid.
Maybe they’re carrying something we can’t see.

Compassion isn’t denial.
It doesn’t excuse harm.
It simply refuses to reduce a human being to a single moment.

The shift from perception to perspective
is the shift from reaction to understanding.
From defense to curiosity.

When we zoom out, we realize:
everyone is acting from their level of awareness,
their unhealed places,
their learned ways of surviving.

And suddenly, the question changes.
Not “Why are they doing this to me?”
But “What must it be like to be them right now?”

That question doesn’t make us smaller.
It makes our hearts wider.

Because compassion begins the moment
we stop seeing people as problems
and start seeing them as stories still unfolding.

The people closest to us don’t just love us.
They touch our wounds.😲

A comment that seems small.
A tone that feels familiar.
A silence that suddenly feels loud.
And before we know it, we’re not here anymore—we’re back there.

Gabor Maté says a trigger isn’t about what’s happening now.
It’s about what’s unresolved then.
The nervous system remembers long before the mind understands.

That’s why strangers rarely undo us.
But someone we love can say one sentence
and our body reacts as if survival is on the line.

Reaction is fast.
Automatic.
Rooted in protection.

Responsiveness is slower.
It breathes.
It asks, “What part of me is being touched right now?”

When we’re reactive, we’re not choosing—we’re defending.
We’re not listening—we’re reliving.
The past borrows the present and speaks through us.

Gabor Maté reminds us:
“Triggers are not signs of weakness. They are invitations to awareness.”

The work isn’t to blame the other person.
And it isn’t to shame ourselves for reacting.
It’s to notice the moment our body tightens
and choose curiosity over collapse.

Healing doesn’t mean never getting triggered.
It means learning to pause inside the fire.
To respond instead of reenact.

Because the people closest to us
aren’t here to hurt us—
they’re here to show us
where love still needs gentleness.

And that’s where freedom begins.

Do you want to be FREE?
