Let’s be real… so many of us are out here chasing success, burning ourselves out, and wondering why it still doesn’t feel like enough. 👀

In this episode, I’m chatting with Amina AlTai—executive coach, speaker, and author of The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living. Amina knows firsthand what it’s like to push so hard that your body literally can’t take it anymore. After a health crisis nearly landed her in organ failure at just 28 years old, she had to rethink EVERYTHING she thought she knew about success.

We’re diving deep into why hustle culture is toxic AF (especially for women, immigrants & people of color), how to recognize when your ambition is actually hurting you, and how to start building a version of success that doesn’t leave you depleted.

Sis, if you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, struggled with boundaries, or found yourself stuck in the cycle of “never enough,” this convo is your permission slip to stop grinding yourself into the ground and start living with more ease, joy & PURPOSE. ✨

What you’ll hear in this episode:

💡 Amina’s wake-up call that changed her definition of success

💡 The 5 core wounds that secretly drive our hustle

💡 The “ambition penalty” women & POC face in the workplace

💡 Why rest = productivity (yes, really!)

💡 How to shift from painful ambition → purposeful ambition

💡 Practical steps to set boundaries & honor your needs
