In this brief excerpt from the YouTube conversation "Find Your Own Version of Success," Speaker A recounts a recent period (2022‑2023) of financial abundance and high‑spending driven by the booming online industry, describing it as a "peak" that ultimately felt unsatisfying after about six months. Jacqueline Snyder shares her own earlier material ambition—symbolized by a painted reminder to buy Chanel—then explains how her upbringing led her to prioritize safety, security, and nervous‑system stability over luxury. Together, they illustrate how both personal and cultural influences can produce a misguided definition of success, and how a conscious shift toward well‑being and stability can redefine what success means for an individual.

We have to experience the wrong version of success first. We had the real peak in that 2022, 2023 area. Like, the online industry was pumping. I had never had so much spare money in all my life, and I spent so much of it, and I had so much fun. After I did that for probably about 6 months, okay, that's enough.
When I was in my 20s, I literally painted it on top of the doorpost inside of my office. Chanel ain't gonna buy itself. I wanted Chanel, but the shift that I've had because of the way I grew up I really yearn for safety and security. So that's where I got to transition into and always so my nervous system stays stable.
