AwA Episode 4: Building Reciprocal Thinking

What if boundaries weren’t about pushing people away but building stronger, more respectful relationships?

In this episode of Armed with Ambition, Siobhan Cunningham explores reciprocal thinking as the foundation for leadership, boundaries, and emotional intelligence. Featuring insights from licensed clinical social worker and active-duty Air Force officer Ashley Ertel, this episode challenges how we think about giving, saying “no,” and leading with intention.

You’ll learn: 

✅How reciprocal thinking empowers sustainable leadership
✅ Why reframing “no” is essential for growth
✅ The emotional roots of boundaries—and how to honor them
✅ What challenge coins and cartoons can teach us about leadership and identity
✅ And, of course, wisdom from Mom’s Playbook on setting boundaries without damaging relationships
