095: The Achievement Trap: Why Hitting Every Goal Still Leaves You Empty with Meghan French Dunbar
Do you find yourself hitting every goal and still asking "what's next?" Our guest, Meghan French Dunbar, has a name for that loop — and it lives in the same part of your brain as addiction. In this episode, Michelle and Sophia sit down with the "business anthropologist" and bestselling author of This Isn't Working to unpack why your worth isn't tied to your work, how to actually define your values (hint: keep it to five), and why the "soft skills" we undervalue are really leadership skills. Whether you're heading to college or running a team, this conversation will stick with you. 📖 Grab a copy of Meghan's book This Isn't Working → meghanfrenchdunbar.com 📲 Follow her on Instagram → @meghanfrenchdunbar Timestamps: 00:00 — Meet Meghan French Dunbar 04:25 — Follow What Lights You Up & the 3 Pillars of Flourishing 19:56 — Defining Your Values (The Funeral Question) 27:01 — Holistic Leadership: Why "Soft Skills" Are Leadership Skills 32:05 — Why Your Boss Affects You More Than Your Spouse
