2022 is being called the year of anti-ambition, but is that really the case? In this solo episode, Chedva unpacks her relationship with ambition – the good, the bad & the ugly of it – while refusing to agree that being ambitious is inherently toxic.
She explores:
- why entering the workforce was so important to her as an ultra-Orthodox woman
- when her start-up ambitions led her deep into burnout
- & how COVID made her face the realities of work amidst crisis
Tune in for an open and honest reflection on why we don’t actually want our work to be “on steroids.” As well as Chedva’s thoughts on how we can heal our burnout without giving up our ambitions in the process.
