About this episode

Cecily Mak discusses the challenges of achieving success while feeling unfulfilled and the importance of authenticity in personal happiness.

It’s time for another Level Up conversation. This week, Lo sits down with accomplished entrepreneur, investor, author, and leader Cecily Mak, who opens up about the reality behind a life that looked wildly successful on paper but felt deeply unfulfilling behind the scenes. From her struggles with alcohol and navigating a tumultuous marriage to confronting loss, grief, and the emotional weight she carried in private, she shares what it really means to appear like you have it all—yet still feel unhappy. Together, they unpack the subtle ways people dim their own light, stay in relationships that no longer serve them, and confuse achievement with genuine happiness. From releasing toxic patterns and embracing radical honesty to redefining what fulfillment truly looks like, this episode is a reminder that leveling up isn’t just about career success—it’s about becoming the most authentic version of yourself. If you’re ready to stop settling, let go of what’s weighing you down, and build a life that actually feels as good as it looks, this conversation is for you.
