The Ambition Trap with Amina AITai | 309 36:40

27d ago36:40

36:40

For a lot of us—especially high-achieving women—ambition can feel like a double-edged sword. It drives us, fuels us, and pushes us forward.

How To Practice Radical Self Care with Shelly Tygielski | 302 39:02

2M ago39:02

39:02

68: Ditch Being Nice: Embrace True Kindness 22:21

2M ago22:21

22:21

🚨 PSA: Being nice is NOT the same as being kind—and if you’ve been trained to be nice at all costs, it’s probably costing you more than you realize.

Workplace wellness is broken. Free snacks, ping-pong tables, yoga-at-lunch—none of it actually works if your workplace culture is toxic or disconnected.

40:27

Women excel in school—higher GPAs, more degrees, more advanced education—yet the moment they enter the workforce, the advantage disappears.
