[SOLO] The Ugly Truth About Chasing Success in America (And What I Chose Instead)

Written By Ali Montoya

In this raw and honest solo episode, Olivia Tati unpacks the uncomfortable realities behind the American definition of success and why it so often leads to burnout, anxiety, comparison, and a never-ending feeling of “not enough.”

As a UK-born global citizen turned American entrepreneur, Olivia shares her lived experience navigating corporate America as a six-figure engineer, the pressure to constantly prove herself, and the subtle cultural messaging that equates worth with overworking, overproducing, and overachieving. She explores how the American Dream can quietly become a cycle of debt, validation-seeking, and external pressure — even for high earners.

If you’ve ever questioned why success feels heavier than it should…
If you’re a high achiever who secretly feels exhausted…
If you’re ready to build wealth without sacrificing your wellbeing…

🎧 Tune in to rethink what success actually means for you — and discover how to build a life that feels expansive, joyful, and fully yours.
