In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Patrick Kamba to unpack a hard truth: success can look great on paper and still feel exhausting. Together, they explore the shift from loud, performative ambition to “quiet ambition” rooted in calm confidence, integrity, and real influence. This conversation is for high performers, people-pleasers, burnt-out leaders, and anyone who’s hit big goals yet still felt strangely empty. You’ll learn how to navigate office politics without losing yourself, spot insecurity disguised as ambition, and build a version of success that protects your mind and your life. About the Guest: Patrick Kamba is a pharmaceutical industry executive who has led global teams and mentored emerging leaders. He shares insights from his journey toward “quiet ambition” and mentions his book, Quiet Ambition. Key Takeaways: Quiet ambition is calm, respectful confidence, not playing small or staying invisible. Office politics exist everywhere; navigate them by building alliances while staying authentic. Healthy ambition starts with self-awareness: define goals you can measure and know when you’ve arrived. Loud, performative ambition often pushes people away and blocks honest feedback. Celebrate wins intentionally so you don’t fall into the endless “next goal” treadmill. Fulfillment is usually a byproduct of living well, not a box you can tick.

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Derrick Van Mell to unpack a truth most people feel but rarely name: leadership can shape your nervous system as much as your workload. Derrick explains how unclear direction, neglect, and careless comments can quietly erode confidence and safety at work. This episode is for anyone dealing with a difficult manager, recovering from workplace stress, or stepping into leadership themselves. You’ll learn how ethical, competent leadership reduces harm, why shared management language matters, and what employees can do to protect themselves without escalating conflict. About the Guest: Derrick Van Mell is the founder and principal of the Center for Management Terms and Practices, a standards body for general management. He’s also the author of Atoms and Orchestras and shares frameworks like The Index, the Milwaukee Model, and the Pledge of Managerial Power. Key Takeaways: Bad bosses often cause “invisible injury” through neglect, unclear direction, and public disrespect. Not all harm is intentional, many managers were never taught ethical use of authority. Strong leadership means putting people first, not ego, control, or winning arguments. If a boss is fundamentally decent, use calm courage: ask clarifying questions about tone and intent. “Parental mind” works upward too: recognize what your manager does well to shift behavior safely. Management is not for everyone, rewards are delayed and abstract, so self-awareness matters.
