Redefining Success in a World Obsessed with Speed | Epi. 17 | Suchi Sivasankaran

What happens when pausing becomes the most powerful way forward?

In this episode of Becoming Limitless, Dr. Elie sits down with Suchitra Sivasankaran, multi-hyphenate leader, professional coach, and storyteller, for a deeply reflective conversation on career pivots, burnout, mental fitness, and redefining success in a world obsessed with speed.

Suchitra’s journey spans multiple industries and identities. Through intentional pauses, courageous pivots, and a transformative sabbatical, she has learned to listen inward, challenge conventional definitions of achievement, and build a life aligned with purpose rather than pressure.

This episode is not about doing more, it’s about doing what matters, with clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

We explore:

• What it truly means to pause, pivot, and redefine success

• Recognizing the signs that it’s time for change — intuition, misalignment, and burnout

• Lessons learned from navigating multiple career transitions

• Burnout as a breaking point or a breakthrough

• The hidden cost of ambition and over-identification with productivity

• The power of a sabbatical and how stepping away can create clarity and renewal

• Mental health vs. mental fitness — crisis management vs. daily resilience

• Habits and rituals that support emotional strength and psychological safety

• How success evolves beyond titles, validation, and external metrics

• Practical ways to design a “mini sabbatical” within a busy life

• Reflective prompts and small, actionable steps listeners can apply immediately

A thoughtful and grounding conversation on slowing down to move forward, honoring inner alignment, and building a definition of success rooted in authenticity, wellbeing, and purpose.
