Success: Floater or Sinker?

What if the version of success you’ve been chasing is quietly sinking you?

In this opening episode of HealthyHer Money Mind, Alina and Jenni explore how money, achievement, and worthiness get tangled together – and why so many women feel they’re always behind, even when they’re doing everything “right.”

Drawing on years of financial coaching and mental health work, they talk about:

• Why we measure success by everyone else’s yardstick

• How childhood, culture, and social media shape our money stories

• The three stages of financial “success”: survival, independence, and freedom

• Why time is just as important a currency as money

• The guilt gap: under-earning, overspending, and never “doing enough”

• How fear and guilt can become catalysts for healthy change

• The difference between fitting in and truly belonging

• The deep link between financial health and mental health

Your success does not have to look like anyone else’s. Let’s stop measuring with borrowed yardsticks and start defining what truly helps you float.
