She finished her PhD in one year. Worked four jobs while carrying 20 credits. Became the family success story everyone pointed to.

Then both her parents died—and Dr. Tia Warrick realized she'd been performing success instead of living it.

In this conversation, she reveals the moment her body forced her to confront what her mind had been hiding.

She shares the critical difference between being purposeful and feeling fulfilled, and why the goals that look most impressive from the outside can leave you feeling the emptiest inside.
