Episode 5 - Rethinking Success: The Truth About Hustle, Healing and Self-Discovery with Amanda Kolbye

Success doesn't always mean happiness, and sometimes it can actually be the thing getting in the way of your well-being. In this raw and powerful episode, Amanda Kolbye shares her journey of building a multi-seven-figure business — and the moment she chose to walk away from it all.

Amanda shares her story from traveling the world while running her company to facing deep-rooted trauma, burnout, and a painful family reckoning. She opens up about the reality of chasing freedom and the price of relentless hustle.

Dr. Payal and Amanda explore the hidden toll of burnout and why external success doesn't guarantee inner peace. They also discuss practical steps for navigating healing, acknowledging that the path forward looks different for each individual.

This episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and start redefining success on your terms. Tune in, and make sure to leave a rating and review wherever you listen!
