Redefining Success: Rhythms and Rules of Life In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, hosts Teresa McCoy and Erica Vinson discuss the concept of success and how it is often defined by societal standards such as financial achievement, education, and professional status. They propose a holistic approach to success that includes creating a 'rule of life' or 'rhythm of life' that aligns with one's values and spiritual beliefs. They emphasize the importance of personal definitions of success, the role of regular reflection, and the benefits of a flexible, personalized framework. Teresa and Erica share personal experiences and practical advice, offering resources like the Real Life Process and inspiring quotes to help listeners create their own success plans grounded in rest and authenticity.
