409. AMMA — Why You Feel Empty After Hitting Big Goals

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

What if hitting your biggest goals is the very thing that makes you feel lost?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack what happens after the win — when the goal you worked years to achieve doesn’t deliver the fulfillment you expected. From the emotional crash that follows major milestones to the deeper search for purpose that defines lasting success, Michael shares a personal perspective on how to realign your ambition with meaning before burnout takes over.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why achievement alone can’t sustain fulfillment and what your brain is really craving after success
• How to redefine progress so you stay challenged, inspired, and connected to a greater purpose
• What it takes to build a vision so big it reignites your drive and gives your goals meaning again

You’ve conquered the mountain. Now it’s time to discover what comes next.
