The Illusion of Success: Why Wealth Can’t Buy Happiness
KANIKA ENERGY COACH > PODCAST AND MEDIA APPEARANCES
The Midlife Rebel Podcast with Nadine
What if having everything on the outside still left you feeling empty on the inside? In this deeply reflective episode, host Nadine sits down with Energy Expansion Coach and Akashic Records Reader Kanika Vasudeva to explore why success, money, and stability alone cannot create fulfillment—and how midlife often becomes the turning point that invites deeper meaning.
Kanika shares her personal journey of corporate success, global travel, and outward achievement that masked inner emptiness, followed by the stillbirth of her daughter—a moment that completely altered the direction of her life. Through grief, surrender, and spiritual exploration, she discovered the Akashic Records and learned how healing ancestral patterns, self-worth, and trust can transform both inner peace and external abundance.
Together, Nadine and Kanika explore midlife expansion, money as a mirror of self-worth, ancestral survival patterns, and why choosing joy, visibility, and authenticity is essential for true wealth. This episode is an invitation to redefine success—not as accumulation, but as alignment.
