Ambition, Motherhood, and the Myth of Balance with Kari Selander

🎙️ ACAST SHOW NOTES

How do you pursue ambitious goals without losing sight of the people and priorities that matter most?

In this episode of Live Like it Matters, Elissa Kalver sits down with Dr. Kari Selander—global policy strategist, mother of two, and creator of the Mutha Life podcast.

Known for building international programs, advising governments, and creating partnerships that drive change around the world, Kari shares a more personal perspective on leadership, ambition, motherhood, and identity.

Together, they explore the realities of balancing meaningful work with family life, the pressure to do it all, and why perfection is often the enemy of purpose.

This is a conversation about impact, parenthood, leadership, and creating a life that reflects your values—even when life doesn't fit neatly into a plan.
