Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about "success" and discover why it's time to shift our focus from external markers to finding alignment from within. 🌟 Welcome to another segment of Flourishing Together. I'm excited to introduce you to JJ DiGeronimo, who shares this perspective and challenges the societal norms that often lead us to believe that material wealth or external validation are the ultimate markers of success. What if we measured success by the energy we create versus conventional metrics such as salary, job titles, or the types of customers we interact with? JJ shares her path to alignment by starting a side gig while working full-time and the pivotal moments when she decided to follow her inner intuition or "whisper." We explore intriguing techniques like muscle testing and connecting with nature to seek guidance and tackle societal expectations about the illusion of external success, which often feels like chasing an oasis. JJ acknowledges that finances can be a significant hurdle when contemplating change, and she emphasizes the importance of getting "rich" from the energy she's creating versus a salary, job title, or types of customers you interact with. Join us as we dive into the illusion of success and how to feel in alignment with our life and career paths from the inside out. 💛 Flourishing Faves: Rise Sister RiseSteve Noble 🤝 Connect with JJ Website | Book: Seeking | LinkedIn | Podcast: Together We Seek For detailed show notes, visit the Flourish Careers Blog. 💛 Please note that I value confidentiality.
