Feeling Lost Despite Success? How to Find True Purpose & Inner Peace

What if success isn’t the answer to fulfillment?

In this powerful episode of Ignite Your Power, Kathy Mou sits down with personal development coach and author Max Stephens to explore why so many high performers feel lost, disconnected, or unfulfilled—even when they’ve “made it” on paper.

We dive deep into the crisis of meaning, cultural conditioning around success, and how chasing external validation often masks deeper emotional wounds. Max shares his transformative framework for inner work, including forgiveness, awareness of mortality, and radical honesty, along with the role meditation plays in reconnecting to your true self.

This conversation is for you if:

✨ You’ve achieved success but still feel off course

✨ You’re questioning your purpose or direction in life

✨ You’re ready to shift from ego-driven goals to soul-led fulfillment

✨ You want confidence that comes from within—not from approval or status

💫 True purpose isn’t found in what you accumulate—it’s found in how you serve.

🎧 Listen now and reflect on what really matters.
