The Myth of 'Having It All': Redefining Success on Your Terms
Posted on January 15, 2025 by MILENA GALLI, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Challenge the myth of “having it all.” Explore what truly matters to you and create a path of authenticity, aligned with your values and needs.
“Having it all” has become a catchphrase for women’s empowerment—but what does it really mean? For many women, the pressure to “have it all” leads to a relentless juggling act that often results in exhaustion rather than fulfilment.
Society’s definition of success—a perfect career, family, appearance, and social life—is a myth. It’s an impossible standard that leaves little room for individuality, rest, or joy. And when we inevitably fall short, we blame ourselves. But the problem isn’t with you; it’s with the story you’ve been told.
What would your life look like if success meant living authentically, aligned with your values and dreams? What if it meant prioritising what truly matters to you, instead of meeting external expectations?
Letting go of the myth of perfection can open the door to a more sustainable, fulfilling way of living. This shift invites reflection on what success means individually, creating space to align life choices with personal values and needs rather than external expectations.
