In this episode of Meant to Win, Dr. Stephanie Wigner takes you behind the scenes of her VIP day with Ed Mylett, from getting picked up on a dock in Portland, Maine to touring his private island, where within 15 minutes he told her something unexpected: you've already won, and you're allowed to stop here. But if you're going to keep going, don't half-ass it. This conversation matters because it challenges high-achievers to stop negotiating with their potential and commit fully to the expansive vision. Dr. Wigner opens up about the last 12 months that brought her to her knees, the pressure of being seen, nine months of internal battle, and the recalibration that looked like quitting but wasn't. It's a bold reminder that pausing isn't quitting; it's preparation for the next level.

What if the most important thing you could optimize isn't your business, but your joy?
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with human performance coach Nicole Tormey, who helps some of the most driven teams in business perform at the highest level by doing something radical: less. Nicole shares why she takes a full month off every year and what she tells her clients before she goes, the story of flying to Bali with no plan and spending seven uncomfortable days learning to stop performing her own vacation, and the weekly check-in her teams refuse to give up.
Together, Steph and Nicole get to the question every high achiever eventually faces: when you ask "what is enough," are you really asking "am I enough?" And underneath it all, the thing we forget while chasing every goal: a life you actually enjoy is the whole point.
In this episode:
The energy audit question Nicole asks before letting anyone add a new habitWhy feeling "behind on your optimization" is the warning sign, not the motivationExactly what Nicole tells clients before taking her month off every yearThe morning question that reconnected her to what she actually wantsSteph's day-by-day calendar boundaries for winning back white spaceThe difference between asking "what is enough" and "am I enough"Joy isn't the reward for hitting the goal. It's the reason the goal was worth hitting.
