EP 13: Redefining Success: Why Alignment Matters More Than Accumulation

leadership & growth mindset & resilience self-mastery wealth & purpose

 Have you ever stopped to question what success really means to you?

In this episode of The SELF (R)EVOLUTION Podcast, host Breanna Rae Blaney challenges the conventional definition of success that society has drilled into us: wealth, respect, and fame. Instead, she invites you to consider a more personal, purpose-driven approach to success that starts with alignment and authenticity.

Drawing inspiration from Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and the timeless parable of the fisherman and the businessman, Breanna explores how success is not about chasing more but about being present and aligned with your truth. She also shares her own journey of leaving a high-paying corporate job to pursue deeper fulfillment, showing how real success comes from living a life of purpose and devotion.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to redefine success on your own terms.
  • Why chasing wealth and status can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction.
  • How present-moment awareness can make you feel successful right now.
  • The importance of measuring success through alignment and purpose rather than just achievements.
  • How to cultivate a mindset that values connection, vitality, and purpose over external validation.
