This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I am sharing a powerful conversation I had with Amina AlTai—holistic leadership coach, chronic illness advocate and author of The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living - to unpack the truths behind ambition, burnout, and redefining success. We explore the emotional and cultural roots of ambition, especially for historically excluded groups, and why the traditional definition of success is no longer serving us. This is a must-listen if you're under the pressure to "do more" while wondering if there’s a better, more sustainable way to grow and thrive.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The difference between painful ambition and purposeful ambition
  • How core emotional wounds (rejection, betrayal, etc.) shape your drive and work habits
  • Why ambition doesn’t always have to be tied to work or productivity
  • Navigating the ambition penalty in the workplace and reclaiming space
