About this listen

For most of my life, I wore “ambition” like a badge of honour. I was the overachiever, the go-getter, the one who did all the right things to succeed—and still, it never felt like enough.

In this episode, I unpack a powerful realisation: being a high achiever isn’t a personality trait. It’s a survival response. And if we don’t look deeper, we carry that same burnout-driven energy into our soul-led paths, only to find it still doesn’t feel good.

✨ In this episode, we'll cover:

  • The hidden wound behind chronic overachievement
  • Why your purpose won’t feel fulfilling if driven by ego
  • How ambition becomes a coping mechanism for unmet validation
  • The difference between heart-led action and ego-fuelled productivity
  • Practical questions to start untangling your true motives

🎧 Tune in if you are ambitious but constantly burnt out or dissatisfied, and you want to shift from proving your worth to living your truth!
