In this episode, I share my recent personal journey of denouncing ambition and embracing a more creative approach to work.

Discover the reasons behind my decision to shift from building a business to working on various projects as a writer, designer and coach. I dive into the benefits, challenges and strategies of pursuing a diverse range of creative projects.


Some things I talk about :

  • What led me to shift my focus from building a business to working on different projects as a creative
  • How do I define ambition, and why do I believe it can hinder personal growth and creativity
  • What challenges have I faced in denouncing ambition and pursuing a creative path
  • How ambition can rob us of the joy of today
  • and how being told as women we CAN do it all has caused me a lot of anxiety in the past
