054_Why Achieving the Goal Isn’t the End Game
You hit the goal… so why doesn’t it feel good?
In this episode of Lounging with Laurie, we’re unpacking the post-achievement flatness no one talks about.
You did the thing.
Launched the business.
Moved overseas.
Landed the role.
So why does it feel like… nothing?
This one’s for the women who are secretly disappointed after the high of a win. Not because it wasn’t big enough, but because they pinned their happiness to a finish line.
Inside this ep:
Why your brain loves the chase more than the achievement (dopamine is sneaky like that)
The real reason the goalposts keep moving
How to bring joy with you while you build, instead of waiting for someday
I’m also sharing my own post-goal wobble and the reminder I needed to actually feel proud before racing toward the next thing.
This is your permission to slow down, be present, and enjoy the life you’re already living. You don’t need another milestone to prove you’re worthy of that.
