<description>&lt;p&gt;In this thought-provoking episode of The Grit Show, host Shawna Rodrigues dives deep into the waters of self-evaluation and success metrics.

She shares her personal perspective and insights that illuminate what sometimes can be the contrast between what the world sees as success and what you feel as true happiness. Tune in to explore why joy, gratitude, and personal satisfaction might be more accurate gauges of success than the figures on a tax return.
