What if the version of success you’re chasing isn’t actually yours?

In this episode I’m joined by Amina AlTai, executive coach and author of The Ambition Trap, to unpack what it really means to pursue ambition with purpose. We talk about the difference between chasing success to prove something vs. purposeful ambition that aligns with your values and desires.

Amina shares the personal and professional wake-up calls that led her to redefine ambition, why we can feel our lowest during moments that are supposed to be our highest, and why fulfillment isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. If you’ve ever hit a milestone and felt underwhelmed, this conversation is for you.

Why performative ambition can leave you feeling empty
