    Starting Over After Success with Samantha Wills | Selfdom Ep.131

    There can be so much pressure to have your life figured out by the time you're 30. To choose the right career, keep climbing the ladder and never look back. But what happens when the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned? In today's episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, bestselling author and speaker Samantha Wills. After building one of Australia's most successful jewellery brands into a global business, Samantha made the courageous decision to walk away and redefine what success meant to her. Together, we explore burnout, identity, the fear of starting over, and why changing your mind isn't a sign of failure, but often a sign of growth. We talk about knowing when you've outgrown a chapter, navigating career pivots, and giving yourself permission to choose a path that feels more aligned. Whether you're questioning your career, feeling stuck, or simply wondering if there's something more, I hope this conversation reminds you that it's never too late to begin again. In this episode, we discuss: Burnout and the hidden cost of success Knowing when it's time for a new chapter Career pivots and starting over Redefining success on your own terms Why it's never too late to change your mind Connect with us:  Follow Selfdom (https://www.instagram.com/selfdom__) Follow Dom Elissa (https://www.instagram.com/dominiquelissa) Follow Samantha Willis (https://www.instagram.com/samanthawills) Samantha’s Book: https://samanthawills.com/book Shop Selfdom:  Gratitude journals + more: https://selfdom.au For partnership inquiries: hello@selfdom.info (mailto:hello@selfdom.info) Produced by Talkback Media: info@talkbackmedia.com.au (mailto:info@talkbackmedia.com.au)
