In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script a bit on what it means to find your identity as an ambitious woman. We covered topics like: why we tend to tie so much of our identity to our careers and accomplishments how our identity changes as we go through different seasons of life why relying on external validation can make it harder to feel confident in who we are ways to build a sense of self outside of work and reconnect with parts of ourselves we may have forgotten If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast.

What does it actually look like to feel fulfilled in your career? Does an entire career overhaul need to happen? Or can you make a few tweaks to what you do now and feel significantly better? In this week’s episode, we walked through two frameworks for finding fulfillment in your career. Both of these frameworks played crucial roles in our careers, leading us to the fulfilling work we do today. We covered topics like: how to identify your values and make sure your career reflects them why work doesn’t HAVE to be something you’re passionate about (and why it often isn’t for people with multiple passions) why it’s completely okay to prioritize things like money and balance over passion If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast.

We often get asked, “How do you know when you’re ready to take a leap?” And the truth is - you don’t. In fact, the ONLY way to know is to start. In this week’s episode, we brought back clips from 3 of our previous episodes with incredible guests who decided to start before they truly knew what lie ahead. These guests found the courage to go after their dream life, figure things out along the way, and wound up with the successful lives they dreamt of. We hope these stories remind you of what’s possible, how girls JUST LIKE YOU are out here creating their dream lives (AKA you can do the dang thing too!!), and how courage is often the missing piece in taking a leap (not more information).
