Overachieving: When Success Isn’t Enough, Finding Peace Beyond Achievement

Are you always striving to be better, stronger, faster—just more of everything?

Hey friends!

In this episode of From Both Sides Of The Couch, we’ll talk about why so many of us still don’t feel “enough” despite the hustle and hard work, and why trying harder isn’t the real solution.

Join me, Dr. Laurie Bruce, as we explore why striving and overachieving rarely bring the peace, joy, and fulfillment we’re seeking. We’ll also uncover how our childhood experiences shape the way we think as adults and dive into the three powerful questions that can help you find true peace and meaning in your life.
