What if chasing more money, status, or productivity isn’t the real goal? What if ambition could look like tattoo classes, nacho crawls, and night court? Or like choosing joy over climbing the ladder?

In this episode of Holding It Lightly, Lauren and Brad dive deep into the meaning of ambition and why the typical definition might be failing us. From pulled muscles at the gym to pulled threads on identity, they weave a conversation that questions hustle culture, celebrates curiosity, and redefines success.

Lauren shares three mantras she's holding close: do the hard thing daily, keep going even when you can’t see the picture clearly, and make art without worrying about the outcome. Brad talks about rest seasons, spiritual longing, and that lingering pull toward something greater that can’t be vision-boarded.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough, or if you are enough, this one’s for you.
