Today I’m joined by Stefanie O’Connell - an award-winning journalist who writes about money, power and ambition, and the author of The Ambition Penalty.

Her work challenges a lot of what we’ve been told as women - that if we just work hard enough, lean in, and push through the imposter syndrome, we’ll get there.

But the data tells a very different story.

Stefanie looks at the real cost of ambition for women - financially, professionally and personally  and why so many women are feeling burnt out, disillusioned, and stuck… despite doing everything “right”.

And as a mum herself, she brings such an important lens to what this actually looks like in real life.
