What does freedom mean to you? That's what we're going to be exploring this month on the Ambition + Mischief podcast. 

You know things aren’t usually done the traditional way over here. So we're going to look at freedom from two different angles. First, the business angle. How do we create our own freedom by defining our own success? Second, we're going to look at what it means to create INNER FREEDOM, regardless of what's happening externally.  

Tune into this week's solo episode, where @sam.cartagenaa tells us more about what we can expect this month, including:

• What it means to create our own freedom, both internally and externally
• What it means to create inner sovereignty regardless of the external circumstances. 
• How to do the inner work to take back your inner power

We’re rounding out this month’s Soft Life conversation by talking about mothering. But this episode isn’t about mothering another human. It’s about mothering yourself. 

How do you nurture, show compassion and show up for yourself? 

That’s what we dive into with our guest Patience Tamarra. Tune into this episode to hear about:

• What mothering yourself means, what it looks like, and how to put it into practice
• The importance of community in healing 
• What she learned from the Intuition Incubator and what was most valuable for her

We recorded this episode in 2021 and at the time, mothering was simply a practice Patience had with herself. Since then, Patience has become a mother to a beautiful baby boy! And I just know that the nurturing, compassion and mothering she’s been able to show herself is going to influence how she’s able to show up for and mother her child. 

So whether you’re mothering another human or simply mothering your inner child, there are so many gems and insights waiting for you inside this episode.

Patience Tamarra is a published author, intuitive healer and yoga practitioner who has dedicated her life's walk to nurturing self-love through community. She leads virtual and sometimes physical community healing circles and spiritual retreats rooted in assisting others with living a more consciously aware life through writing, introspection and other sacred practices. She is also the creator and host of "Healing Together. Podcast" — a virtual community space to support your journey back home to self. You can find her offerings and her debut book "dear self," on her website at patiencetamarra.com.

Raise your hand if this sounds familiar: You followed the rules, did all of the things you were "supposed" to, only to feel lost at the end of the roadmap you were handed 🙋🏽‍♀️

That’s what happened to so many women inside of the Ambition + Mischief community, and it's what happened to Yetti. She became an engineer, was “successful” on paper, and still felt a void that corporate life wasn’t filling.

 This week on the Ambition + Mischief podcast, we explore Yetti’s story transitioning from corporate life to full-time entrepreneurship, and coming home to herself in the process.

We talk about:

• Coming home to yourself after living a path that wasn't in alignment
• The distinction between mental health and intuition
• Why it's essential to know what YOUR unique inner knowing sounds like
• How Yetti communicates with her ancestors, and what it looked like to receive spiritual guidance on her journey to entrepreneurship 

Yetti of YettiSays has been a much-needed voice within the mental-wellness space since 2010. As a writer, self-love coach, and the creator of "Mission: Self-Love", a wellness product line, Yetti provides her community with tools and support to effectively take better care of their mental wellbeing. By sharing her journey to health and happiness over the past 10 years, Yetti has built a beautiful community of women looking to take charge of their own joy, while helping to undo the stigma surrounding mental health within the Black and Brown community.

Let's be honest, there is a lot of pressure in today's society to create and do. We are expected to excel in everything we do and we often feel like we need to constantly be working on our goals. Some call this the art of "doing," while others call it perfectionism. But what if non-stop doing and perfectionism were really just masks for fear and insecurity? What if they were distractions, keeping us from doing something that scares us?

In this podcast episode, our guest Brittany Dandy shares her powerful experience with moving through fear in order to birth something new. She talks about her experience with motherhood, and the connection between birthing a human vs. birthing an idea into the world. And while giving birth isn’t something you or I are experiencing right now (hopefully 😅), it’s symbolic for what we are experiencing with bringing our inner visions to life.  

Tune into the episode and let me know over on Instagram which part resonated with you most!

Whether you missed an episode or just want a refresher, here are a few gems from this month's episodes.

If you’re into Tiktok, you might have come across this popular Gen Z trend “main character energy”. It started out as a hashtag and has evolved into a meme where Tiktokers film themselves as main characters in their own movies.

Because, who doesn’t love to be the main character, right? But in real life, sometimes we are unaware that we choose to be the supporting character in our own lives instead of embodying the lead role. That’s what we’re exploring on this week’s Ambition + Mischief podcast episode: Happy Main Character Energy ✨

This episode is for you if:

• Are you waiting for permission from others to do the things you actually want to do?
• Do you feel like life is happening to you, and you always need to be on the lookout to defend yourself?
• Do you know you’re destined for more, but are waiting for things to fall into place or be given a big break before you can live into that version of yourself?

This week's episode is for those that like to be in control 🙋🏽‍♀️ Those that have learned, over and over, that we're not truly in control, even when we think we are. Even when we have the most perfect plan in mind, it doesn't always unfold the way we think it should. 

I saw that firsthand during my time in Puerto Rico. I came here because I was following my intuition, and so I had an expectation that everything else would flow seamlessly. 

Stick around to explore:

• When times get tough and things aren't going "according to the plan," how do you show up? 
• How do you know whether you're following your intuition vs. ego? What's the difference?
• At what point do you go from trusting to doubting and planning?
