Success isn’t “more.” It’s presence, peace, and the stories we choose to believe. In this conversation with Ishmael, we unpack the real metrics of success: feeling love at home, self-kindness over self-punishment, willingness to sit with discomfort, and building a life that moves at the pace of peace.

What you’ll learn:

- Why “more” ≠ happier (and how to measure success differently) The ocean vs. wave mindset for deep safety
- How to rewrite the stories that keep you stuck
Grief as a doorway to love (and how to feel without storing) Practical starting points: willingness & self-love.

- Boundaries, slowing down, and building purpose that lasts
