#125 - Why Successful Women Still Feel Like They Are Drowning —The Ambition Paradox, Perfectionism and The Book That Changes Everything - Anne Welsh
MambitionShow Notes
To be brave enough to admit that climbing the right ladder still feels like the wrong life?! Not for the faint hearted. Anne Welsh is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, working parent consultant and author of Ambitious Mother. She has spent years sitting with high achieving women who look completely fine on the outside and are quietly drowning on the inside. She has a name for what they are experiencing. The Ambition Paradox. And she knows exactly what it feels like. Because she lived it herself. In this episode: → The Ambition Paradox — why successful women still feel stuck no matter how much they achieve → The Three Ps — perfectionism, people-pleasing and pretending, and why they are more dangerous in combination → Why your ambition did not shrink when you became a mother — it changed shape → The research that proves your career is a gift to your children, not a theft from them → Why work-life balance is not a destination and chasing it is setting you up to feel like you are failing → What it feels like to want something this much — and be scared of it For the woman who is doing her best, carrying too much, and wondering if it has to be this hard. It does not.

Bianca lost her mum at 11. She helped raise her three younger sisters. She built her career, ended a 12-year marriage and took her children on a road trip through Europe to mark the beginning of the next chapter. She now runs an agency called Nineteen82 and works with Motherless Mothers which is a charity supporting women through bereavement and estrangement. What strikes me most about Bianca's story is what she chose to take from a difficult childhood and what she chose to leave behind. The early loss. The caretaking. The eldest daughter weight. And then the deliberate, intentional building of a life and a career that gave her the financial freedom to travel with her children, start again on her own terms and never need anyone's permission to do it. In this episode: → Losing her mother at 11 and what that builds in you — the competence, the caretaking and the eldest daughter trap → Why likability is a tax on women's ambition and what she is teaching her daughter instead → Ending a 12-year marriage — and how having the financial means to take her children on a road trip through Europe changed everything → Financial independence as protection — the strict savings rules she set for her 19-year-old son → Navigating mixed race identity with her children
Last Friday I published a post that felt cringey and shameless. I posted it anyway. Over 7,000 impressions, 130 likes and more warm connections than I could count later — I started thinking about what actually happens when you embrace the cringe. Before children I celebrated my self sufficiency. But motherhood is a completely different arena. Interdependence is the infrastructure. The village is everything. And there is so much joy in finding your people. In this episode: → Why motherhood killed my tolerance for pretending I have it all together → The shift from solo mindset to village — and why interdependence is the most powerful infrastructure there is → The call that happened at the right time with the right person → My 3 year old daughter — the absolute queen of asking — and what she has taught me about shamelessness → Why people are not thinking about you as much as you think they are For the mother who is craving connection but has not yet gone first. Go first. Your people are waiting.
She was demoted. She did not know it at the time but that moment would become the launchpad. Alice Ter Haar is the founder of Badass Unicorn, a TEDx speaker, a writer for The Times and someone who has spent years helping people unleash what she calls their Return on Individual — the one of a kind magic that makes each person formidably impressive. In this episode: → The Badass Unicorn philosophy — what unicorn companies can teach us about finding our gap in the market → The invisible load — why it is frustrating and why it so often goes unspoken → Difficult conversations in marriages that lead to better understanding → Shame dissolves in the light — on vulnerability, authenticity and genuine connection For the mother who has been overlooked, underestimated or pushed into a corner. The setback is not the end of the story. Alice is proof of that. And this conversation will remind you why.
Someone I know recently lost her 4 year old son. Loss and grief have a way of cutting through the noise and reminding us of something we already know but sometimes forget. Life is short. Are you deliberate about the one you are designing? This episode is not a sad one. It is an urgent one. I talk about grief as a clarifying force. And I talk about the trip I have been thinking about booking with my children. The moments that take your breath away rather than just the breaths you take. What I am willing to sacrifice to make those moments possible. In this episode: → The news that prompted this episode and why grief always brings me back to the same place → What it means to be anchored in the knowledge that life is short — not as anxiety but as clarity → Removing the noise — how limiting social media has given me my own thoughts back → The small financial sacrifices that make the bigger experiences possible → Designing a life around moments rather than things → Book the trip. Do the thing. Create the moment. Now. For the mother who has been meaning to do the thing.
Some career pivots come with a plan. This one came with a voice Claire did not know she had. Claire Venus is a self described creative who also writes — and she has built a gentle, intentional creative life on Substack after walking away from the exhaustion of running chaotic online projects that left her burned out and questioning everything. This week Alex sits down with Claire for a conversation about creativity, reinvention and what it actually takes to build something that is truly yours. In this episode: → The career pivot that unearthed a voice she never knew she had → Burnout, scrambling and the moment she admitted the setup was no longer working → Why rising costs pushed her toward bigger thinking rather than smaller → Wanting creative work to be recognised and financially rewarded — and holding that conviction when others doubted her → The isolation of giving birth during the pandemic → Why the newsletter world right now feels like everyone cheerleading everyone else through figuring it out → Why waiting to feel ready is not the same as being ready For the creative who can feel a new voice trying to surface but has not yet given it permission to speak. This one is for you.
