Confidence Classic: Redefine Success and Create Limitless Possibility with Laura Gassner Otting

Have you ever crushed a goal and still felt empty? In this episode, I sit down with best-selling author, keynote speaker, and former White House appointee Laura Gassner Otting to talk about why success isn’t always what it seems and what it means to break the “shoulds”. We dive into the difference between being impressive and being fulfilled, how chasing external validation leads to burnout, and why confidence doesn’t come from pleasing others. Laura shares how she rediscovered alignment in her life, what finally made her say yes to a TEDx talk, and how she’s helping high achievers rewrite their definition of success. Plus, I also reveal the strategy for my viral LinkedIn posts that reached 850,000+ people. Get ready to step into your limitless potential. In This Episode, You Will Learn How a miscommunication taught me to choose clarity over panic. How to know if you’re living for someone else’s version of success. Why it’s time to stop proving and start LIVING. How to shift from obligation to opportunity. How letting go of old expectations creates space for something better. Why chasing impressive titles can leave you unfulfilled. My blueprint for creating viral LinkedIn posts. How Laura’s son helped her say yes to the TEDx opportunity. Why I’m passionate about ending workplace bullying. Resources + Links Learn more about Laura HERE !
