Success Burnout: Holistic Approach to Redefining Success
The pursuit of success is a universal ambition, yet the journey often leads to success burnout rather than fulfillment. This is especially true for First Generation immigrants or the POC community, in general. So what can we do to change our mindset?
In our episode 23, of the MoneyChisme Podcast, I had the privilege of discussing this topic with Steph Wharton, a renowned leadership and visibility coach. Steph’s insights challenge what we think about success, urging us to reclaim our lives and seek a more balanced and enjoyable approach to ambition.

Success Burnout to Balance
Steph shared her compelling journey from burnout to balance. She recounted her family’s immigration from Argentina to Canada and shared the lessons she learned along the way. She points out the flaw in our relentless quest for success, suggesting that we should instead focus on carving out a life that brings us joy and satisfaction.


Using Visibility to Combat Success Burnout
One of the significant takeaways from our discussion with Steph was the concept of visibility. In an age dominated by social media, Steph believes that leveraging visibility opportunities can yield a greater return on investment. She explained her signature visibility framework, demonstrating how positive visibility outcomes aren’t necessarily tied to constant social media promotion.
Collaborations and speaking engagements, according to Steph, can be instrumental in building relationships, gaining clients, and fostering a sense of belonging. Her insights provide a roadmap for those seeking to maximize visibility without getting lost in the digital noise.
Diversifying Your Money Goals
Our conversation with Steph also delved into a topic often tiptoed around – money. She advocated for diversifying goals beyond wealth accumulation and managing money for the experiences we genuinely desire. Steph also touched on the stigma surrounding savings and the fear of failure if financial freedom isn’t achieved.
As we concluded our discussion, we touched on Steph’s upcoming mastermind launch and the importance of balancing success with truly enjoying life. Steph’s approach to leadership, visibility, and success presents a refreshing alternative to the traditional success narrative.

Ultimately, our enriching conversation with Steph Wharton offers valuable insights into redefining success, increasing visibility, and adopting a more sustainable approach to ambition. The lessons she shares can empower listeners to carve out their path to success, free from the constraints of societal expectations, and guided by their passion and joy.
