This episode packs a lot into just 9 minutes. We dive deep into the ambition double bind—the cultural trap that praises men for career drive while punishing mothers for the very same thing. Too ambitious? You’re selfish. Not ambitious enough? You’re wasting your potential.

I explore how this double standard shows up not only in our own bodies—tight chests, clenched jaws, restless stomachs—but also in motherhood and career dynamics, especially in relationships with partners. We’ll talk about why fathers are celebrated for doing the bare minimum, how mothers end up internalizing impossible expectations, and what that means for couples trying to find balance at home and at work.

You’ll also get a body-awareness practice you can use in the moment to soften tension and step out of the guilt cycle, even mid-argument. And finally, I’ll share why reframing ambition isn’t just about you, but about reshaping the narrative for your partner, your children, and the next generation of mothers.

💡 If this resonates, share the episode with another ambitious mom—or even with your partner to spark a new conversation at home.
