Growth is an investment, not an expense


11/10/2025

High achievers rarely crash because they’re lazy.
They crash because they never stop moving.
Rest isn’t weakness.
Recovery is strategy.
🕊️ Be honest—when was the last time you rested without guilt?

When Finishing Still Feels Like Falling Short
Today I finished the final modules for my new program launch — something I’ve been working toward for months — and I’m so excited… but also strangely unsettled.
You’d think this would feel like a full-body YES. Relief. Pride. Celebration.
Instead, it feels quieter. A little empty, even.
After pouring myself into every detail — the content, the structure, the message — you’d expect fireworks. But once I hit “done,” I immediately caught myself thinking:
“Okay… what’s next?”
If you’re a high achiever, you know that moment. The one where excitement and exhaustion blur together, and the sense of accomplishment fades faster than it should.
I call this The Achievement Crash.
It’s that uneasy dip after you’ve reached the thing you worked so hard for — when your brain and body can’t quite catch up to your success.
Why the Crash Happens
High achievers are wired differently.
Our nervous systems run on dopamine — the “motivation and pursuit” chemical — which peaks while we’re chasing a goal, not when we achieve it.
That means we actually feel most alive in the climb. The late nights, the planning, the challenge. But once we reach the top, our brains don’t celebrate — they recalibrate.
The reward fades, and we start scanning for the next hill to climb.
We’re wired for motion, not maintenance. For building fires, not sitting beside them.
What I See (In Myself and My Clients)
After years of working with high-performing professionals, I’ve learned this:
The Achievement Crash shows up in familiar ways.
1. We chase what we think will make us feel enough.
It’s never just about the milestone. It’s about wanting to finally feel worthy, secure, seen. But goals can’t grant that — they only move the finish line further.
2. We forget who we are without the performance.
When achievement becomes identity, slowing down feels unsafe. Stillness feels like failure.
3. We avoid the real question:
Who am I when I’m not achieving?
What I’m Learning (Still, Right Now)
I’m proud of this launch. It’s meaningful work — something that comes straight from the heart of everything I teach about resilience, healing, and growth.
But I’m also learning that excitement and emptiness can coexist. That we can be grateful and restless. That finishing doesn’t always feel like freedom.
And maybe that’s okay.
Maybe the work now is learning how to land without immediately taking off again.
A Thought for You
Ask yourself:
What did I love doing before anyone told me it had to be productive?
Do that this week — just for joy, not achievement. That’s how we start remembering who we are underneath all the doing.
The Way Forward
The Achievement Crash isn’t a flaw — it’s feedback.
It’s your nervous system asking for recovery. It’s your body whispering, “You don’t have to earn rest.”
Because the real success isn’t what you launch, build, or achieve.
It’s creating a life that still feels like home when the work is done.
You deserve that. We all do.

In a society that thrives off of your self doubt, confidence is an act of rebellion. Be rebellious.
