Most of us shy away from the word, often viewing it as a negative trait reserved for the few, the ruthless, or the overly driven. But what if A*b!T*0^ isn’t what we’ve been told? What if it’s actually a powerful force worth reclaiming and celebrating? In this provocative episode, the hosts unpack the true meaning, challenging its negative connotations and exploring why women are often penalized for aspiration while men are praised for it. They dive into the inspiring stories of champions like Lindsey Vonn and discuss how female athletes push through injuries, full-time jobs, and societal expectations all while fighting for visibility and respect. From the struggles of sponsorship and representation to the subtle ways A*b!T*0^ is weaponized against women, this episode reveals how society’s narrative needs a radical shift.

You’ll discover: how A*b!T*0^ is universally linked to drive, tenacity, and passion, traits women are often discouraged from embracing publicly. We break down why the word gets a bad rap, how media and Hollywood portray A*b!T*0^ women as "bitchy" or "overbearing," and how redefining this word could unlock unprecedented levels of empowerment for women everywhere.

With insights on leading confidently, instilling ambition in the next generation, and personal stories about overcoming stereotypes, this episode challenges you to reclaim your drive. It’s perfect for women who feel societal pressure to downplay their goals, entrepreneurs hungry for more, and anyone eager to understand why A*b!T*0^ is the secret ingredient to success and why it’s time to claim it back.
