Description

In this episode of Ambitious, I share my personal journey from the relentless hustle of scaling my business to seven figures, to the emotional and mental toll it took on me. I open up about how my pursuit of success nearly broke me and how I realized that making money doesn't equal happiness or fulfillment. I talk about the importance of balance and how isolating myself to work harder was not the solution. I discuss the insights I gained from therapy and coaching and how letting go of my old ways and embracing a more harmonious approach has transformed my life, my relationships, and my business. Plus, I explore the powerful, raw discussions at our Ambitious Women's Dinner in Toronto, where female entrepreneurs gathered to share their journeys and support each other. Join me as I navigate the shift from masculine to feminine energy, the value of feeling over thinking, and the importance of intentional, deep conversations in our lives.
