| 3/18/26 |  180. Why Creating Space Is So Hard (Even When You Know You Need It) | Most of us are pretty bad at creating space for ourselves. Yet we need space for rest, for metabolizing and connecting experiences and ideas, for making sense of things.Today, I talk about the gap between knowing we need space and actually creating it. And I’m sharing my own failures and stumbles in this area, what I’ve learned from them, and the new strategies I’m putting into place. As part of creating space for myself to process and look ahead, I’m putting the podcast on pause for a bit. But I do want to talk about why I’m doing that now, and what I’m already envisioning when I return in a couple of months.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.

| 3/4/26 |  179. Navigating Transitions and Inflection Points with Philip VanDusen (Ambition In-Between Series) | We’re not always in control when or how inflection points happen, but we can learn to navigate transitions with more awareness and intention.Today I’m joined by my dear friend and repeat guest, Philip VanDusen, as part of my Ambition In-Between Series.

| 2/4/26 |  177. Margaret Andrews: Becoming the Leader Only You Can Be | Leadership is hard right now.Maybe one of your intentions for this year is to grow as a leader. Maybe you’re questioning if you even want to be one.For those who choose to be leaders, it’s important to set our intentions so that we can focus our efforts on making work better for ourselves and those around us. In this conversation, Harvard Instructor and leadership expert Margaret Andrews and I discuss why self-leadership is vital to then leading others, how to intentionally and sustainably cultivate new practices and behaviors, and why good leadership doesn't come from following a formula or fitting yourself into a box.

| 1/7/26 |  175. How to Move Forward: Lessons from Creativity (Ambition In-Between Series) | Much as we often find ourselves asking “what now” at the culmination of an ambition, the start of a new year is also a time when many of us wonder how best to move forward.For the third episode of our Ambition In-Between series, I want to build on what I’ve shared about the unexpected outcomes and mixed emotions that show up at the completion of a big ambition, and talk about how to move forward when we’re not totally certain what’s next. Over the last year, I’ve been thinking about ambition and growth in terms of the creative process, and I’ve come to believe that if we embrace growth as cyclical and nonlinear, we can unlock a more sustainable, joyful way to build our lives and grow over time.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.

| 12/24/25 |  174. How to Deal With Mixed Emotions (Ambition In-Between Series) | I continue my Ambition In Between series by exploring something many of us experience but don’t always name: the mixed emotions that surface after completing a big ambition. I look at why conflicting feelings show up, what they might be pointing to, and how we can work with them instead of against them.Toward the end of the episode, I offer several sets of reflection questions to help you review your year, make sense of the emotional complexity that may have surfaced over the past twelve months, and consider what you want to carry into 2026. Whether you’re at the end of a big project, navigating a transition, or simply noticing conflicting feelings about where you are right now, this episode invites you to expand your lens, honor the “both/and,” and move forward with more clarity and self-trust.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.

| 11/26/25 |  172. How to Deal With Unexpected Outcomes (Ambition In-Between series) | Since the June release of my first book, Sustainable Ambition: How to Prioritize What Matters to Thrive in Life and Work, a number of people have asked me how it feels to have achieved this big ambition. Have I checked that box and moved on to something different? Or am I percolating another book idea?Over the last few months, I’ve been mulling over and researching those questions. Today’s episode kicks off a new series exploring how we navigate the ups and downs of our ambitions, and what happens if we don’t end up quite where we thought we would. Pursuing our ambitions is ultimately a process of learning more about who we are and what we want. And even when things don’t turn out as expected, it still moves our stories forward.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.

| 9/17/25 | 167. Mark C. Crowley on Why the Way We Manage People Is Unsustainable | A “popular” metric people like to look at is employee engagement. But I’ve always thought this data isn’t that useful and have wondered if this is the best data point to focus on to understand how people really feel about their work. But if not this metric, where do we focus instead? My guest today, Mark C. Crowley, argues that we need to “lead with both mind and heart” to create environments where employees feel supported and like they belong. And why the way we manage people today is unsustainable — and what leaders must do differently. Learn more about Mark C.

| 4/30/25 | 157. Moe Carrick: Designing Workplaces Where People Thrive | In this deeply resonant conversation, I sit down with Moe Carrick — author, consultant, and advocate for more human-centered workplaces — to explore the role of work in our lives and what it really takes for people to thrive.Moe brings both research and lived experience to the table, sharing the seven human needs we bring to work, how they shift over time, and why we must move beyond the “ideal worker” and “perfect mother” myths. She challenges conventional narratives about ambition, wellbeing, and gender roles, and calls for a new kind of partnership between employers and employees. Moe outlines a more hopeful vision of work, where we can navigate the integration of life and work with a sense of agency and shape our lives to work better for us.Learn more about Moe Carrick:MoementumConnect on LinkedInThanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.
