Are you ambitious because of an inner drive, or are you being dragged by expectations, fears, and unresolved childhood experiences? In this episode, Dana explores the powerful connection between childhood, and our drive and ambition in our adult lives. Inspired by Steven Bartlett’s “Driven or Dragged” concept, she reflects on how our upbringing shapes whether we feel in control of life—or stuck reacting to it.

Dana also connects this idea back to parenting: Can parents nurture a balanced “cause” mentality in their children without pushing too hard? And how can reflection and inner work help us shift from being dragged to consciously choosing what truly matters—our health, relationships, and happiness?

Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that blends self-reflection with parenting insights—and a teaser for the next topic: the perfectionist parent.
