We’re back for round two! In this episode, we talk about ambition – how we define it, whether it’s different from hard work, avoiding burnout, and how your ambition may evolve as you do. We also revisit times when we’ve been told to tone down our ambition. Exhibit A: The professor who advised women not to appear too ambitious in job interviews. Exhibit B: The employer who criticized employees “who always asked for more.” Plus, honorable mentions about Kim Kardashian, vampires, and geometry (lol).

What does it mean to be on autopilot and how do you shake yourself out of it to make a change? On our pilot episode, we discuss what autopilot feels like, how we’ve pivoted, and why it’s okay if change is an emotional process. Melissa makes a case for starting a ‘well-being list’ and Renée says that even extroverts need alone time before making a major decision. We’re also manifesting having more fun and getting more rest this week!
