Wendy and Sarah discuss a couple of recent news articles about the death of ambition since the emergence of COVID. People are working less or are less invested in their work, with more opting for early retirement than ever. There’s a rebellion happening against “pointless presenteeism” and Wendy and Sarah are 100% here for it. They explore and deconstruct the social definitions of success for women and consider how doing less might actually contribute to being more, and lead to an easier, more abundant existence. Is the conventional definition of success and ambition even achievable? What happens when we let go of our false idea of control and shift our ambition into “being”? Might this be the key to life satisfaction and happiness? Sarah and Wendy believe so. Don’t worry, it’s not as esoteric as it sounds. As always, they keep their conversation grounded in real life and a few good laughs.
