Success means very little if it costs you your peace.
In this episode, Lisa Hurley is joined by Lola Bakare, Founder of be/co, architect of the #ResponsibleMarketing movement, and author of Responsible Marketing, for a conversation about building a meaningful life, pursuing sustainable success, and thriving without losing yourself along the way.
Together, Lisa and Lola explore what it means to build a life, career, and legacy that feel good on the inside, not just impressive on paper. From work-life balance and boundaries to rest and manifestation, this conversation challenges the idea that success must come at the expense of wellbeing.
In ”Responsible Success: Thriving Without Losing Yourself,” you will discover:
• A grounded way to rethink success without burnout or self sacrifice
• How boundaries, rest, and joy can help create a more sustainable approach to achievement
• What it means to practice self-love in a culture that often rewards self-sacrifice
• How the power of affirmations and ”acting as if” can help bring a desired future into the present
• Why Black women deserve lives that are defined by more than productivity
• A deeper understanding of responsible marketing and values-first leadership
Whether you’re navigating a demanding career, building a business, or simply trying to create more space to breathe, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a powerful reminder that success should support your life, not consume it.
Join Lisa Hurley and Lola Bakare, and discover what responsible success can look like when joy, rest, and self-preservation are part of the plan.
