Climbing the Corporate Ladder is a reflection on the silent cost of striving—for success, perfection, and approval—within systems that often ask us to trade authenticity for acceptance.

Inspired by my soul collage of the same name, this episode explores the game-like nature of the corporate world: the strategic moves, the towering expectations, and the pressure to be perfect. I share my personal journey of chasing validation through achievement, only to realize that the higher I climbed, the further I drifted from myself.

If you’ve ever:

• Struggled with perfectionism or burnout

• Measured your worth by your performance

• Questioned whether the ladder you’re climbing leads where you want to go

This episode is for you.

Featuring the original poem: The View from the Ladder

Plus reflection prompts to support your own journey back to what truly matters.

This is not about rejecting ambition.

It’s about redefining success—on your own terms.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred soul.
