Show Notes
We spend years chasing success — the titles, the numbers, the validation — only to realize that achievement isn’t the same as fulfillment.
In this episode of XO Conversations, Dr. Rishma Walji sits down with Meghan Telpner, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, to talk about what happens when you outgrow the version of success you once worked so hard to build.
After leading a multimillion-dollar business with students all over the world, Meghan made a radical choice — to walk away. What came next wasn’t burnout, but a complete redefinition of what it means to live well.
Together, we explore:
✨ How to know when “enough” is truly enough
💬 The emotional toll of achievement and identity
🌱 Why rest and creativity are the new measures of success
💡 How to reconnect with joy and self-worth after success
🪞 What it means to live in alignment instead of autopilot
This isn’t a story about quitting. It’s a story about redefining your goals, and a new kind of success that’s rooted in peace, values, creativity, and purpose.
