459. I'm so tired of being ambitious

Ambition feels like my entire personality and I'm trying to fix that. Who are we beyond our ambition? In a world that only cares about success, output and productivity, what do we feel like we'll lose when we slow down?

Watch on Netflix: HERE

In this episode I explore:

  • The psychology of highly ambitious people
  • The lies that ambition tells us
  • How ambition steals your joy
  • How to value yourself beyond your output
  • What matters more than ambition
  • The way to slow ambition and why it builds more

If you can relate, this is the episode for you!
