Why is it easier to say, “I’m ambitious,” than “I’ve achieved”?
In this episode, I break down why so many high-achieving women (myself included!) struggle to own their success. From redefining what achievement even is, to a conversation between my 6-year-old daughter and her bestie that stopped me in my tracks, this episode is full of truth bombs, real-talk, and one heck of a reminder: you’ve done more than you’re giving yourself credit for.
🎯 We unpack:
- The emotional weight behind “ambitious” vs “achieving”
- How midlife shifts your ability to own your wins
- A heart-melting self-love lesson from two 6-year-olds
- Simple ways to friend yourself first—yes, actually
