She emphasizes that true success stems from aligning "rightambitions" at the "right time" with balanced effort,acknowledging life's messiness and the need for ongoing practices like self-reflection to foster joy, peace, and ease in both professional and personal realms.
Kathy dives into practical strategies for energy management,urging listeners to create a "sustaining plan" by reviewing calendars to identify what restores, protects, and supports their vitality – think debating with family for some or learning via Coursera for others. She advises tackling energy "drains" by eliminating, outsourcing, or linking them to motivators, such as pairing housework with podcasts to turn chores intogrowth opportunities. For entrepreneurs and high-achievers, recognizing that not every task sparks joy is key, but reframing them through community activities like "writing sprints" or connecting to core values can reduce stress and prevent falling off the wagon.
Wrapping up, Kathy introduces her book, "SustainableAmbition: How to Prioritize What Matters to Thrive in Life and Work," aimed at those navigating life changes or capacity constraints beyond elusive "work-life balance." She redefines ambition as a positive, evolving force that ebbs and flows – not just career-driven but encompassing "life ambitions" like family focus – to ease anxiety during transitions. The conversation ends on a note of self-compassion, reminding ambitious folks to give themselves grace as humans pursuing resilience and fulfillment.
