How do you balance massive business growth with the demands of motherhood? After a year of extraordinary growth and transformation, I've discovered that the more abundance I create in my business, the more abundance flows into my home life, and vice versa. This realization has completely shifted how I approach both entrepreneurship and motherhood. As I prepare to welcome my second child and head into maternity leave, I'm reflecting on the massive shifts that have happened in my business and personal life over the past year. In this episode, I'm sharing the real journey of evolving from focusing on material success to finding deep contentment in both my family and my work. You'll discover how I've grown my business while actually reducing complexity, why I'm choosing lean operations over empire-building, and how celebration and desire have become my primary drivers instead of discipline and willpower. This is about creating sustainable success that honors all parts of who you are. If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

This explosive segment revisits the narrowly avoided Trans-Pacific Partnership and slams the Bush-era globalist push to surrender U.S. trade and immigration sovereignty to unelected international bureaucrats. With sharp criticism of Republican leaders like Trey Gowdy, Tim Scott, and Mitch McConnell, the host celebrates Trump's EU trade deal—hailed by the French Prime Minister as “total submission”—as a triumph of America-first policy. Also covered: how tariffs could replace the income tax, the media's bias in mass shooting coverage, and how Trump's actions revealed the failures of past leadership and awakened Americans to what real advocacy looks like.

I've got a big question for you today… one I'm betting no one's asked you in a while: What does success mean to you now? Not the version you scribbled in a vision statement 20 years ago. Not what your parents wanted. Not the one culture that flashes at you with big vacations and busy calendars. I'm talking about your definition. Right now. In this season. With the life you actually have—not the one you're still chasing. Here's why I'm asking…over the past few months, I've been having conversation after conversation—at dinner tables, over coffee, on coaching calls—with people from all walks of life who are wrestling with this very question. People who've climbed their mountains. Built the things. Launched the dreams. And still are unsure. Sometimes, they even feel pressure to be more successful than they currently feel. So I ask them: “What does success mean to you?” Lately, I've been sitting at dinner tables, over coffee, and on coaching calls, with people of all walks of life who are wrestling with this one big question: What does success mean to you now? Not the definition you wrote in a vision statement two decades ago. Not the version you inherited from your family. Not what our culture flashes at you. I mean today, in this season, in your life as it is right now. And here's what I've been noticing: many of us have climbed mountains, launched dreams, built families and meaningful careers, but still feel uncertain. Still feel a pressure within to chase more. So, let's pause. Let's reevaluate. And let's talk about what success really looks and feels like after the climb. In this episode, I'll walk you through redefining success based on your current season, explain why it matters, discuss how it can change your life, and show you how to start today. Our mission is to help you become unstoppable, enabling you to do your best work of your career while enjoying more inner peace and freedom.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about how to stop rushing toward “what's next” and start enjoying the ride. Have you ever caught yourself racing through life, so focused on the finish line that you barely notice the scenery around you? It's easy to fall into a pattern of “when I get there, then I'll be happy,” only to find that there keeps moving further away. Whether it's the next promotion, the next milestone, or just the next weekend, we're often living for the future—and missing the now. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to slow down and actually enjoy the journey. We'll talk about how to balance ambition with presence, how to check in with yourself along the way, and how to set future goals that honor where you are today. The road may be long, but it's filled with meaning—if only we'll pause to take it all in. Why are we always in such a hurry to “get there”? Wherever there may be—financial security, a relationship milestone, a certain job title—we often place so much pressure on the end goal that we forget to live on the way to it. It's like being on a beautiful scenic drive, but instead of taking in the views, you're glued to the GPS. Focused. Determined. Unavailable. This urgency often stems from our culture's obsession with productivity and achievement. From a young age, we're taught to aim high, set goals, and never stop climbing. And while ambition can be a healthy motivator, it can also become a thief—stealing joy from our present moments and creating anxiety about a future we can't fully control. Have you ever reached a long-awaited milestone only to feel let down afterward? Like the buildup was more thrilling than the arrival? That's a sign you might be living for the next thing instead of enjoying the current one. When we're constantly chasing what's ahead, we miss opportunities for connection, reflection, and simple joy that exist right now. The truth is, the destination is only part of the journey. And ironically, the real transformation happens along the way—in the delays, the detours, the conversations, and the quiet moments of self-discovery. So let's slow down for a second. What if you already are becoming who you're meant to be? What if rushing is keeping you from noticing how far you've actually come? There's nothing wrong with wanting more. Goals give our lives direction, motivation, and meaning. But if we're not careful, they can also become blinders—blocking out everything that isn't the finish line. Ambition says, “Keep going, you're not there yet.” Presence asks, “But aren't you here now?” Goals Are Not a Destination, They Are an Invitation Mindfulness and Being Present in the Moment For People Feeling Behind In Life CHALLENGE: Take a breath and look around—what beauty, progress, or peace might you be missing in your race to the finish line? Give yourself permission to slow down and be fully present for the moments that are happening right now. I Know YOU Can Do It!

What if our relentless drive to be better than others is quietly breaking us?Miroslav Volf unpacks the core themes of his 2025 book, The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse. In this book, Volf offers a penetrating critique of comparison culture, diagnosing the hidden moral and spiritual wounds caused by competition and superiority.Drawing on Scripture, theology, philosophy, literature, and our culture's obsession with competition and superiority, Volf challenges our assumptions about ambition and identity—and presents a deeply humanizing vision of life rooted not in being “the best,” but in receiving ourselves as creatures made and loved by God.From Milton's depiction of Satan to Jesus' descent in Philippians 2, from the architectural rivalry of ancient Byzantium to modern Olympic anxieties, Volf invites us to imagine a new foundation for personal and social flourishing: a life free from striving, rooted in love and grace.Highlights“The key here is for us to come to appreciate, affirm, and—importantly—love ourselves. Love ourselves unconditionally.”“Striving for superiority devalues everything we have, if it doesn't contribute to us being better than someone else.”“The inverse of striving for superiority is internal plague by inferiority.”“In Jesus, we see that God's glory is not to dominate but to lift up what is low.”“We constantly compare to feel good about ourselves, and end up unsure of who we are.”“We have been given to ourselves by God—our very existence is a gift, not a merit.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit faith.yale.edu/ambition to get a 40-page PDF Discussion Guide and Full Access to 7 videosThe Cost of Ambition by Miroslav Volf (Baker Academic, May 2025)Philippians 2:5–11 (NIV) – Christ's Humility and Exaltation – BibleGatewayRomans 12:10 – “Outdo one another in showing honor” – BibleHubParadise Lost by John Milton – Project GutenbergParadise Regained by John Milton – Project GutenbergShow NotesOpening Reflections on CompetitionThe conversation begins with Volf recalling a talk he gave at the Global Congress on Christianity & Sports.He uses athletic competition—highlighting Lionel Messi—as a lens for questioning the moral value of striving to be better than others.“Sure, competition pulls people up—but it also familiarizes us with inferiority.”“We compare ourselves to feel good… but end up feeling worse.”Introduces the story of Justinian and Hagia Sophia: “Oh Solomon, I have outdone you.”Rivalry, Power, and InsecurityShares the backstory of Juliana's competing church and the gold-ceiling arms race with Justinian.“Religious architecture became a battlefield of status.”Draws insight from these historic rivalries as examples of how ambition pervades religious life—not just secular.Modern Parallels: Yale Students's & the Rat RaceVolf notes how even Yale undergrads—once top of their class—feel insecure in comparison to peers.“They arrive and suddenly their worth plummets. That's insane.”The performance-driven culture makes stable identity nearly impossible.Biblical Illustration: Kierkegaard's LilyVolf recounts Kierkegaard's retelling of Jesus's lily parable.A bird whispers to the little lily that it's not beautiful enough, prompting the lily to uproot itself—and wither.“The lesson: we are destined to lose ourselves when our value depends on comparison.”Intrinsic Value and the Image of God“We need to discover the intrinsic value of who we are as creatures made in the image of God.”Kierkegaard and Jesus both show us the beauty of ‘mere humanity.'“You are more glorious in your humanity than Solomon in his robes.”Theological Anthropology and Grace“We have been given to ourselves by God—our lives are a gift.”“We owe so much to luck, to others, to God. So how can we boast?”Paul's challenge in 1 Corinthians: “What do you have that you have not received?”Milton and Satan's AmbitionShifts to Paradise Lost: Satan rebels because he can't bear not being top.“Even what is beautiful becomes devalued if it doesn't prove superiority.”In Paradise Regained, Satan tempts Jesus to be the greatest—but Jesus refuses.Christ's Humility and Downward GloryHighlights Philippians 2: Jesus “emptied himself… took the form of a servant.”“God's glory is not domination—it's lifting up the lowly.”“Salvation comes not through seizing status, but through relinquishing it.”Paul's Vision of Communal HonorRomans 12:10: “Outdo one another in showing honor.”“True honor comes not from climbing over others, but from lifting them up.”Connects this ethic to Paul's vision of church as an egalitarian body.God's Care for Creation and HumanityLuther's observation: God calls Earth good but not Heaven—“God cares more for our home than his own.”“We are called to emulate God's loving attention to the least.”Striving vs. AcceptanceVolf contrasts ambition with love: “The inverse of striving for superiority is the plague of inferiority.”Encourages unconditional self-love as a reflection of God's love.Uses image of a parent greeting a newborn: “You've arrived.”A Vision for Healed Culture“We wreck others in our pursuit of superiority—and we leave them wounded in our wake.”The gospel reveals a better way: not performance, but grace.“Our salvation and our culture's healing lie in the humility of Jesus.”“We must rediscover the beauty of our mere humanity.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School. One of the leading public theologians of our time, he is the author of numerous books including Exclusion and Embrace, Flourishing, A Public Faith, Life Worth Living, and most recently, The Cost of Ambition.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Sarah Barukh Sarah est une survivante. Elle a échappé, de peu, à ce qui tue plus d'une centaine de femmes chaque année: la violence conjugale, les féminicides. Sarah a réussi à fuir, un soir dans la nuit, sa petite fille, bébé à l'époque, dans les bras. C'était il y a 5 ans. Aujourd'hui Sarah est plus vivante et forte que jamais, libre et heureuse avec sa petite fille de 6 ans. La vie n'est pas un long fleuve tranquille et ça, Sarah le sait mieux que quiconque. Dans la première partie de cet épisode, que nous avons séquencé en deux pour des questions de timing et parce que l'histoire de Sarah et le combat qu'elle porte méritent qu'on s'y attarde, vous découvrirez comment Sarah Barukh a grandi, l'influence de son milieu familial, ses études, ses amitiés, ses premières désillusions amoureuses, ses doutes mais aussi, ses premiers drames. Ce récit est important car on ne comprend parfois pas comment on peut accepter d'être ou de rester en couple avec un homme violent. Certains contextes, comme celui des jeunes années de Sarah jusqu'à sa trentaine, nous éclairent sur la question. Sarah est aujourd'hui écrivaine, fondatrice et dirigeante de l'association 125 et Après et vient de lancer le mouvement Safe Place label qui permet aux entreprises de s'engager concrètement pour lutter contre les violences conjugales. La seconde partie de cet épisode sera publiée à la rentrée. Voici l'histoire de Sarah Barukh, partie 1. Belle écoute

You've built the business. Maybe you've launched your first program. People are buying. Results are happening.But instead of feeling liberated, you're staring at your toddler's naptime thinking: "I have exactly 90 minutes to move the needle on my empire... no pressure."Maybe you think successful entrepreneurship means choosing between being a present mom or a powerful business owner.Maybe you've tried the "hustle harder" approach, felt like you were failing at everything, and wondered if ambitious dreams are just incompatible with goldfish crackers and bedtime routines.What if I told you that motherhood doesn't shrink your ambition—it expands it?While we're beating ourselves up for not having the capacity we used to have, we're missing the profound transformation that's actually happening: we're learning to build sustainably, lead authentically, and create with deeper purpose than ever before.In this episode, neurologic physical therapist and "neuropreneur" Lily Jimenez reveals:Why the "terrific twos" of business mirror the terrific twos of motherhood—and how to embrace both transformationsThe game-changing mindset shift from "balancing" to "growing alongside" your dreamsHer boundary system that protects presence: why she literally hides in the bathroom to check her phoneHow to find "pocket time" that actually moves the needle (hint: it's not about finding more hours)The art of letting creativity flow instead of forcing productivity on mom scheduleWhy "doing nothing" is actually doing something for your business—and your nervous systemHow to redefine success when your season is "mostly goldfish crackers and cuddles"The power of making your children your "why" without making them your pressurePractical batching strategies that honor your capacity as a licensed professional and a momWhy comparing your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20 is stealing your joy (and momentum)Bottom Line: The difference between mom entrepreneurs who thrive and those who burn out isn't about having more time or energy—it's about honoring the season you're in while still moving toward the vision that lights you up.You don't have to earn your dreams by doing it all at once. You're allowed to grow small and slow. Your calling is still valid, even when your pace looks different than it used to.

Nelson has been immersed in the world of Jack Daniels for an astonishing 38 years, making him a walking encyclopedia of all things related to this iconic American whiskey. In this episode, you'll hear how Nelson's passion and depth of knowledge captivated Will and Greeze during a recent media trip for the Jack Daniels 14-year release. They knew immediately they had to bring his stories and insights directly to you, our listeners. Together, they dive into the rich and intertwined histories of Jack Daniels and Nashville, unearthing stories that connect music, culture, and commerce across generations. Nelson shares incredible anecdotes—from the brand's deep connections to country legends, to the pivotal role Jack Daniels played in shaping popular culture and Tennessee history. The conversation also takes you into the heart of Jack Daniels' current innovations, like the revival of ultra-aged whiskeys (10, 12, and 14 years old), and the challenges and triumphs of honoring old traditions while pushing the boundaries of whiskey making. Along the way, you'll get an insider's look at the passion, pride, and legacy that drive the people of Lynchburg. So pour yourself a glass of your favorite Tennessee whiskey and settle in for an episode packed with fascinating tales, behind-the-scenes details, and a whole lot of history you won't hear anywhere else.

Priyanka Chopra is an award-winning actor, producer, and humanitarian—and one of the most recognizable faces in the world. In this 2021 conversation, she reflects on her memoir Unfinished, sharing her journey from India to the U.S. and the lessons she's learned about identity, ambition, and reinvention. Priyanka talks about the power of perseverance, trusting your instincts, and embracing failure as part of success. She reminds us that it's never too late to start again—and you're always allowed to say yes to your dreams. Thought-provoking Quotes: “There is something profoundly wonderful about blooming a little later in your story. It's never too late. Everything you've done is a foundation for what you'll do next. It might not come up for a couple of years, but you will find out eventually, that made my life richer. This made my skillset better. Like nothing is ever wasted if you're doing something you're passionate about.” – Jen Hatmaker “I am at a much more confident place that the insecurities of my past don't affect me anymore.” – Priyanka Chopra “Anything is a possibility. You can make a career out of anything. When I was growing up, there were like five career options – you could become a doctor, or an engineer, or a lawyer, or an accountant… But now, it's endless. It's such a great time for all of us with ambition and desire, no matter where you are, or what your circumstances are, to invest in your dreams.” – Priyanka Chopra Jonas “My feminism is equal-opportunity, the freedom to make the choices I want to make for my individual life, just the way men have enjoyed for such a long time. That's why its so important for us as women to talk about and normalize ambition for girls.” – Priyanka Chopra Jonas “I truly believe that today is my investment for tomorrow. I hope with all of the decisions that I'm taking now, and will take in the next ten years, the girl I am at that time will be happy. That's really my quest in my life, is the pursuit of happiness. I feel joy in my job, I feel joy in home, I feel joy in my family. I feel joy in being able to create. And I just look at it as, if you're not happy, don't do it. Step away from it.” – Priyanka Chopra Jonas Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Ambition is a Girl's Best Friend: Priyanka Chopra on Reconnecting with Our Dreams - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-32/ambition-is-a-girls-best-friend-priyanka-chopra-jonas-on-reconnecting-with-our-dreams/ Unfinished by Priyanka Chopra Jonas - https://amzn.to/2Zf5ps8 73 Questions with Priyanka Chopra, Vogue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOUV2rwMr1g Priyanka Chopra on the For the Love podcast (Youtube) - https://youtu.be/G1k83Tx6U34 It's Okay To Be a Late Bloomer: Forbes Magazine's Rich Karlgaard - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-17/its-okay-to-be-a-late-bloomer-forbes-magazines-rich-karlgaard/ Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement by Rich Karlgaard - https://amzn.to/4kvW1IC Miss World 2000 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_World_2000 Guest's Links: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/priyankachopra/ Twitter - https://x.com/priyankachopra Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/priyankachopra Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/PriyankaChopraLive TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@priyankachopra.fp Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

In this deeply honest and soul-nourishing conversation, I'm joined by my longtime friend and fellow podcast host, Lindsey Simcik of Almost 30. Together, we explore what it really means to create from alignment, honor life's transitions, and lead from the woman you are now—not who you once were. Lindsey opens up about the journey of writing her first book with co-host Krista Williams, the vulnerability of releasing something so personal into the world, and the courage it took to sunset a successful membership in order to make space for something new. We also talk about trusting divine timing, evolving ambitions, honoring creative cycles, and making peace with the unknown. Lindsey beautifully reflects on letting go of external metrics of success in favor of deeper joy, integrity, and presence. If you're navigating a season of growth, reinvention, or quiet clarity, this conversation is your permission slip to trust your timing, your truth, and the woman you're becoming. Liked this episode?

You know, the writing that I really felt was, woo, okay, this is, this is something, this is really great and this is flowing, but I had to show up every single day.”- Lindsey Simcik GUEST RESOURCES: @lindseysimcik Almost 30 Podcast Get Lindsey's book Almost 30 RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
