Success Doesn’t Have to Hurt

The Authentic Edge

In this thought-provoking and personal episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture reflects on a moment that shifted her perspective: the quiet, often unquestioned belief that success must be earned through suffering. After hearing a guest on a talk show admit she believed things only counted if they hurt, Toks recognised that same mindset in herself- accepting anxiety as a companion rather than a signal to pause and reframe.

This episode challenges the narrative that success must come at the cost of constant struggle. Toks unpacks the difference between the discomfort that comes from discipline and the destructive weight of fear or anxiety. If you’ve found yourself bracing for difficulty as a necessary path to every win, this conversation invites you to let go of that belief.

It’s time to make space for ease, peace, and grace- even on the road to greatness.
