Goodbye Burnout, Hello Healthy Ambition with Amina AlTai


Listen Later

Midlife often brings a reckoning with ambition—are we crushing goals or just burning out? If you feel squeezed between chasing your dreams and

protecting your wellbeing, you're not alone. For executive coach Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap, relentless overwork led to a devastating health crisis. Now, Amina guides high achievers toward a revolutionary approach to success. We explore the difference between"painful" and "purposeful" ambition and how to recognize when you're operating below your "resentment line." Amina's framework helps you identify the five core wounds driving unhealthy ambition and offers practical tools for honoring your needs while still achieving your goals—without sacrificing your health or relationships. We also explore her concept of "zones of genius," why the healthiest people welcome emotional diversity, and ambition as a force for collective flourishing. Get ready to rewire your relationship to success!
