This week's episode

How to Chase Sustainable Ambition with Amina AlTai

"Ambition is not more for more's sake all the time."

– AMINA ALTAI

This episode felt like two old friends, with the same mission in life (to create a healthy relationship with ambition) chatting on a couch.

Together we get real about how culture (and capitalism) have warped our relationship with ambition—especially for women—and how to reclaim it on our own terms.

From the “core wounds” that drive our overachieving tendencies to the importance of rest, self-awareness, and setting boundaries, this episode is your permission slip to stop chasing and start living.

​Check out the episode and let me know what you think!
