You don’t fail when you drift—you fail when you stop returning.

In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we talk about why drifting is part of being human and how to come back without guilt or harsh self-criticism. You’ll hear a timeless parable about crossing a river, plus practical examples from health, focus, food, and relationships. And most importantly, you’ll learn how small, gentle course corrections add up to a life lived in alignment.

By the end, you’ll see that perfection isn’t the goal—returning is. And each gentle return is a powerful statement that you’re still moving forward.

We grow up surrounded by someone else’s definition of success—money, titles, recognition, the picture-perfect life. And sometimes we even achieve those things…only to feel restless or empty.

In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we dig into why success feels hollow when it’s borrowed, and how to reclaim it on your own terms. You’ll hear real-life examples of people redefining success around presence, growth, freedom, and contribution. Plus, I’ll walk you through practical steps to uncover your own definition and keep it front-and-center when the world gets loud.

By the end, you’ll see that success isn’t about fitting a mold—it’s about alignment. And you’ll have the tools to start living a version of success that actually feels like success to you.

Living in alignment isn’t always comfortable. It means saying no when it’s easier to say yes, speaking the truth when silence would be safer, and holding to your values when expectations pull the other way.

In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we talk honestly about the tension of alignment—why it’s hard, why it matters, and how even small acts of living in line with your values can change everything. You’ll hear examples from work, health, and relationships, plus practical tools and mantras to help you stay grounded when pressure rises.

By the end, you’ll see that alignment isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. And every small choice to choose what’s real over what’s easy moves you closer to the life you actually want.
