Episode notes

Ambition should extend beyond professional success to encompass personal growth and relationships. Setting metrics for success should include aspects of life like family, health, and mental wellness. Reflecting on the impact of meaningful interactions and capturing them for gratitude can be a powerful way to reinforce ambition and appreciation for one's work.

Brené Brown is a bestselling author and social scientist known for her work on complex emotions like shame and vulnerability. She opens up to Maya about the evolution of some of her most important identities: big sister, recovering perfectionist, and reluctant public figure. She also shares how COVID affected her marriage, her struggles with social media, and how she's redefining ambition.
