In this episode, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on ambition — especially for women and mothers — and why I don’t believe it has to be sacrificed in order to live slowly. I talk through the tension so many of us feel between wanting more for ourselves and wanting a grounded, present life with our families, and how I’ve learned (the hard way) that these two things don’t have to cancel each other out.

I talk about:

• ​Why ambition has been framed as “anti-motherhood” — and how much that story has shaped us
• ​The false all-or-nothing thinking that says you’re either successful or slow
• ​What slow living actually looks like when you’re building a career or business
• ​How values, boundaries, and energy capacity matter more than hustle
• ​Redefining success in a way that supports your life instead of draining it

If you’re craving a slower pace, softer expectations, and permission to want both presence and purpose — you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
