What is the “Achievement Trap” and how do you avoid it?
Have some of your biggest wins left you feeling empty, overwhelmed, or disconnected?
In my latest podcast episode, Cindy Van Eeckhout, founder of Alegria Coaching and creator of the Joy of Life Method, shares her journey of redefining success.
She explains how high achievers can break free from perfectionism, avoid burnout, and create balance between ambition and well-being.
You’ll learn practical strategies to set boundaries, recharge through intentional rest, and bring more presence into your personal and professional life. If you’ve ever felt like success on paper doesn’t equal fulfillment in reality, this discussion is for you.
