Are you called to honor more than one side of yourself in your life and work? Then this episode is for you! You, too, might be an ampersand. Or perhaps we all could be if we weren’t forced to choose.

What is an ampersand you might ask? Meet Jessica Wan, an ampersand herself and host of The Ampersand Manifesto podcast. Jessica explains ampersands as those who are multi-passionate, lead double lives, and straddle two completely different worlds.

In this conversation, learn more about Jessica’s experience working in two worlds (a career in business and her career as a singer and performer) and the themes she’s gleaned from the podcast interviews of others also leading double lives. Hear her counsel to shift away from feeling like we must choose, and rather to pay attention to what’s calling to you at this moment, allowing yourself to step into a full identity.

Jessica - Thank you for championing this movement for the ampersand life! And for encouraging us all to be holistic individuals, embracing multiples sides of ourselves.

Today we discuss her new book, “Embrace the Power of You,” which is for those who are code-switching or struggling to belong in the corporate landscape and for those of us who want to support creating inclusive environments. Tricia shares her own journey of self-acceptance to show others how they can do the same. The book offers tools and knowledge needed to get to the other side of the fear people can have that can keep them from fully stepping into their authentic selves. it also offers guidance for business leaders.

In this conversation, Tricia shares why people feel like they need to hide parts of their identity, gives us guidance on how we can all support creating inclusive environments, and affirms that you are enough and your differences are beautiful and valuable.

Tricia - Your book is powerful. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to do the same and step into their authentic selves.

“I feel very ambitious even though on the outside my ambition may look very different, but it feels like ambition on my terms.” Yes! That sounds like Sustainable Ambition—ambition that’s rooted in you and on your terms.

Today I’m joined by Neha Mandhani, a certified executive leadership coach, for an open, honest conversation on what it’s like to listen and honor oneself, to move through the discomfort of choosing self-authorship, and to step out of the norm onto a path that aligns to your integrity and purpose. Neha is someone who has explored her multiple passions and interests and experimented her way to where she is now. While Neha may feel more alive today than ever, her journey has not been without its fears. She embraces those fears and keeps moving forward, encouraging you and her coaching clients to do the same.

You may hear yourself in Neha’s story. And for that reason, I appreciate her parting wisdom for you all—“How is your relationship with yourself? How well are you leading yourself?” What insight might you take from this conversation to get into action and make a positive shift towards stepping into ambition on your terms?

I’m so appreciative of you sharing your story with us, Neha. Thank you for your insights and inspiration!

Today I’m happy to be in conversation with one of my besties, Carol Best! Carol and I have known each other for almost 15 years, and I wanted to have an informative yet fun conversation about how Carol keeps herself engaged in her work, how she’s learned to both step into her ambitions and navigate them across both work and life, and why she prioritizing stepping into being an upbeat, passionate, and optimistic leader.

Carol is a champion of personal purpose and lives it. We hear about that in this episode and how she is someone who supports other women in the workplace. I can attest to that having benefited from her support.

Carol - Thank you for sharing your personal journey with us and all your sage counsel. I learn from you all the time and benefit from your positive energy and optimism. I’m so lucky we met so many years ago!
