For a lot of us—especially high-achieving women—ambition can feel like a double-edged sword. It drives us, fuels us, and pushes us forward. But it can also drain us, disconnect us, and quietly lead us away from who we really are. That’s exactly why I invited Amina AITai back to the podcast. She’s a holistic business and career coach, a chronic illness advocate, a proud immigrant, and one of the most grounded voices on what it means to live and lead with intention. In her new book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, Amina unpacks the toxic side of ambition—and how to reclaim it in a way that actually serves you. We talk about the ambition myths that keep women stuck, the pressure to perform at all costs, and how to get out of the cycle of striving and back into alignment with what really matters. This isn’t about playing small—it’s about playing smart. Purposefully. Intuitively. Sustainably. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What the ambition trap is—and how to know if you're in it ✅ The difference between aligned ambition and external pressure ✅ Why burnout isn't a badge of honor ✅ Practices to reconnect with your brilliance and body ✅ The surprising role rest plays in achievement Ambition isn’t the problem. The problem is chasing a version of success that was never really yours to begin with. It’s time to stop striving and start living—from the inside out.   Connect with Amina:  Website: www.aminaaltai.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/aminaaltai/ Book: https://www.aminaaltai.com/book Related Podcast Episodes: The Power of Enough with Elizabeth Husserl | 299 How To Know When It’s Time to Quit with Goli Kalkhoran | 266 Abundance: Secrets to Prosperity and Ease with Cathy Heller | 260 Share the Love: If you found this episode insightful, please share it with a friend, tag us on social media, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform! 🔗 Subscribe & Review: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music Learn more about your ad choices.

We talk a lot about confidence on this show—what it is, how to build it, and how to hold onto it in a world that’s constantly trying to tear it down. And when it comes to raising confident girls? The most powerful thing we can do isn’t lecture or list strategies—it’s model it. Because confidence is contagious. Especially when it’s real. In this episode, I’m joined by Cyndi Roy Gonzalez, Executive Director of Girls on the Run Greater Boston, an organization that’s helping thousands of girls build confidence, community, and the kind of inner strength that lasts well beyond the finish line. Since 2010, they’ve served over 18,000 girls in Eastern Massachusetts—and they’re just getting started. Together, we talk about what it actually takes to help young girls grow into confident women, why we need to challenge the limitations society places on them, and how adults can model the kind of authenticity and courage we hope to see in the next generation. Because confidence isn’t just something we teach. It’s something we live. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why modeling confidence is the most impactful thing adults can do ✅ How Girls on the Run helps girls tap into their strengths and voice ✅ The role of joy, movement, and connection in developing self-trust ✅ Why confidence is more than achievement—it’s about authenticity ✅ How to challenge societal messages that limit girls (and us) The world doesn’t need more pretty wallflowers or shrinking violets—it needs authentic, confident humans who speak their truth, live with purpose, and run toward the life they want and the things that matter most—to THEM.

We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times. Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Feeling exhausted, anxious, bloated, foggy, or just off—and being told “it’s normal” because you’re aging or just a woman? Yeah, no. It’s not normal. And it’s definitely not something you have to accept. In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Dr. Erika Schwartz, a pioneer in bio-identical hormone therapy and founder of Evolved Science, where she’s flipping traditional medicine on its outdated, symptom-chasing head. With over 30 years of experience, eight best-selling books, and a global reputation for helping people reclaim their health, Dr. Erika is here to tell us: your hormones matter. And ignoring them could be the reason you feel like garbage—even if all your labs come back “normal.” We’re talking real solutions, not band-aids. Actual prevention, not prescriptions. And a whole new way of thinking about what your body needs to thrive—especially as you age. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why traditional medicine is failing women—especially around hormones ✅ The truth about hormone imbalance (and how to fix it) ✅ What bio-identical hormone therapy really is—and why it matters ✅ Signs your hormones are out of whack (that your doctor might miss) ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that often won’t ✅ What true health optimization looks like (spoiler: not another pill) It’s time to stop accepting exhaustion as a fact of life and start demanding answers—and better care. Because your hormones aren’t the problem. They’re the starting point to feeling like yourself again.

In a thought-provoking discussion, Shelly Tygielski, author of 'Sit Down to Rise Up' and founder of Pandemic of Love, challenges the notion that self-care is selfish. Instead, she presents it as a radical act of activism. Shelly discusses the dangers of 'toxic positivity' and how to escape burnout culture while still being productive. She emphasizes the importance of community care alongside personal care, encouraging listeners to fully embrace their needs. Ultimately, self-care emerges not just as a practice, but as a powerful form of rebellion.
