How often do you ignore that quiet knowing inside you, only to realize later it was right all along? That inner guidance—the signals your body and nervous system send—is smarter than you think. Ignoring it keeps you stuck making decisions with incomplete information, second-guessing yourself, and relying on logic alone.   In this episode, we dive into why your gut processes information faster, deeper, and more accurately than your conscious mind. We unpack the science behind your "gut brain," explain why intuition is informational rather than emotional, and show you how to distinguish between anxiety and authentic gut guidance. This isn't about choosing feelings over facts, but about reclaiming the part of you that already knows what's right.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/78   Ready to make this fall different?

How many promises have you broken to yourself this week? Every time you say you'll take a lunch break and don't, or agree to something you didn't want to do, you chip away at your self-trust. And when that trust is shaky, it gets harder to make bold decisions, hold boundaries, or believe in your own judgment. Self-trust is the operating system everything else runs on. Without it, things fall apart.   This week, we're launching our trust series by getting to the root of it all. What is trust, really? And why does self-trust matter more than you might think? It's not built through grand gestures or broken only by major betrayals. It's shaped in small, everyday moments when your actions align with your intentions, when you follow through on what you say, and when you show up the way you meant to.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/77   Ready to make this fall different?

Scaling rapidly is often seen as the ultimate goal in ambitious organizations, but what happens when the pressure to grow starts to sacrifice your team's well-being?

Burnout, turnover, and a culture that struggles to sustain growth.   In this episode, you'll learn how to navigate the pressures of scaling, maintain team morale, and integrate new hires successfully. Plus, we're offering practical strategies to lead through growth, protect your team's capacity, and create a people strategy that aligns with your business goals.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/76

Seriousness is an occupational hazard for obsessive-compulsives, Type A's and perfectionists. Being serious can hurt relationships, mental health and physical health. Yet many of us feel duty-bound to be serious, and we lose out on the benefits of humor and laughter--which can melt the rigidity which comes with being so serious.  

Do you find yourself catastrophizing before an important decision or difficult conversation? It's natural for our brains to imagine the worst-case scenario, but what if this habit is actually stopping you from reaching your potential? In this episode, we explore why your brain defaults to disaster thinking and how to rewire it to focus on success instead.   When facing uncertainty, it's easy for our brains to fixate on everything that could go wrong. But constantly focusing on failure doesn't prepare us for success—it keeps us stuck in survival mode. We're sharing how to shift your mindset to one that anticipates the best, so you can take confident action and move toward the outcomes you truly want.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/75

This episode, we're pausing the hustle to take a big-picture look at what really matters in both business and life. Danielle Hayden, CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., sits down with Taylor Thompson, founder of Personal Brand House, bestselling author of More Life, podcast host, and national speaker, to talk about what it means to build a business that gives you more life, not just more work and revenue.  Taylor brings a refreshing take on entrepreneurship—less “do more,” more “do what matters to you”. From overcoming burnout to designing a lifestyle-first business model, Taylor shares personal insights, financial mindset wisdom, and actionable steps to help you avoid deathbed regret and define success on your terms. Key Takeaways:  Define Your “Enough”: Growth is great, but not if it's at the cost of the things that really matter to you in life.

Fulfillment matters just as much as skill.  Detach Your Worth from Your Numbers: Your financials aren't a report card. Use them as a tool for informed decisions, not as a reflection for your identity.  Pause to Notice Meaningful Moments: “More life” isn't only about having more stuff.

How do you keep going when life doesn't go as planned? In this deeply personal episode, we're catching up on where life has taken us lately and getting real about how we're navigating our health journeys. For both of us, it's about facing challenges, finding new ways to live fully, and staying present, even when things feel uncertain. We're learning to embrace the journey, instead of rushing to the finish line.   Grab your favorite bevy and join us as we explore how small changes in routine, stepping out of our comfort zones, and prioritizing fun can make a big difference. We'll also share how we're both learning to slow down—not as a strategy to “speed up,” but as a new way of being.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/73

How much time and energy do you spend feeling disrespected or unheard? Many high-achieving women find themselves ruminating over moments when they feel overlooked or ignored, whether it's a boss talking over them or a partner not acknowledging their contributions. These feelings can chip away at trust and collaboration, leaving us emotionally drained. But here's the truth: feeling disrespected is optional. It's not about other people's behavior, but about how we choose to interpret it.   In this episode, we break down how feeling disrespected comes from our thoughts, not someone else's actions. We talk about how our brain adds meaning to neutral events, like someone interrupting us, and how those thoughts create emotional responses. By separating facts from interpretations, we can regain our power and stop outsourcing our worth to others. You'll learn how to stop reacting emotionally and start responding from a place of strategy and clarity.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/72

Do you feel a need to control everything? Your control enthusiasm feels like your superpower. Checking everyone's work, approving every decision, convincing yourself that nobody can do it like you can. You've built something amazing, but you've also built yourself a beautiful prison where you're both the warden and the prisoner.   This episode tackles control enthusiasm head-on - that need to control everything that feels like it's making you successful but is actually keeping you stuck as the bottleneck in your life. You'll discover why your need to be needed is actually making you less effective, not more. When you master the art of true entrustment, you don't just become a better leader, you become free to focus on bigger challenges and grow beyond what you can personally control.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/71

 What happens when a rigid devotion to rules, order, and perfection replaces our ability to feel, connect, and live? In this episode, we explore two moving character studies from Fredrik Backman's novels A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here. Through Ove and Britt-Marie—both fictional but deeply familiar—we see the beauty, heartbreak, and potential of the obsessive-compulsive personality. These stories show what can go wrong when emotional life is outsourced or buried—and what can go right when we begin to reclaim it. From tragic emotional isolation to unexpected transformation, this conversation offers insight, humor, and hope for anyone trying to loosen the grip of perfectionism. 

Because society glorifies the grind so much, many people find themselves embracing and normalizing a workaholic lifestyle. Although this means more profit, it ultimately kills your well-being and destroys your relationships. Tim Westbrook explores the right way to get rid of this self-destructive lifestyle with Barry Garapedian, President and CEO of MAG7 Consulting. Barry looks back on how his relentless work ethic nearly cost him everything, including his 16-year marriage. He shares how he overcame this rigid mindset, rebuilt his life, and is now coaching young people to reach their full potential – all while teaching them how to avoid the mistakes he made.

When you're constantly learning new things, you get good at figuring things out on the fly. You get good at problem solving. You become comfortable with uncertainty. But somewhere along the way, most of us decided that a beginner's mind was only for children - that adults should already know how to do everything they attempt.   In this conversation, we challenge everything you've been taught about competence, learning, and what it means to be smart. You'll discover why being bad at something might be the most revolutionary thing you can do, and get specific homework that will make you wildly uncomfortable and absolutely unstoppable.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/70

Do you feel like you're constantly juggling motherhood, career, and personal well-being—and yet you're still overwhelmed? High-achieving mothers often carry an invisible emotional burden, feeling the weight of it even when it's not immediately apparent.

In this episode, she explains why the same problem-solving skills that drive success in your career can actually hinder your connection with your children.

The pursuit of happiness.  It's something we all want more of.  We are constantly evaluating how we can manage our calendars to fit in more moments of joy in our lives.  We struggle to find that elusive work-life balance that can bring us more joy. If we only had a few more hours each day, would joy be so hard to come by?  In the podcast, Jennifer investigates some new research suggesting we are completely in control of our own joy and how to find it in the 24 hours we are each given in a day – even if you are a highly ambitious professional. 

Have you ever looked confident on the outside while quietly second-guessing everything on the inside? So many ambitious women are stuck in that loop—doing all the right things, collecting accomplishments, and still wondering why they don't feel more secure.   In this episode, we're getting into the kind of self-confidence that isn't tied to your resume, your performance, or anyone else's opinion of you. We also share the self-confidence triad: our three-part framework for building lasting, grounded confidence from the inside out.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/68

Ever feel like you've just stopped caring? What we're really talking about is apathy - that mental shrug that says "whatever" to your own dreams. It's not burnout or depression, but rather that in-between zone where you're not suffering, but definitely not growing.   We explore why your brain confuses rest with relief from risk, and how this protection mechanism might be keeping you stuck. The real antidote isn't harsh discipline or pushing harder - it's radical self-respect. We share practical strategies for reconnecting with your goals and showing up for yourself with the same fierce loyalty you'd show for someone you love.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/67

Have you ever noticed that no matter how many relationship books you read or communication workshops you attend, you still end up having the same fights? That's because we've been approaching conflict all wrong. The "when you do X, I feel Y" statements aren't fixing the real problem underneath.   We're here to blow your mind with this truth: conflict resolution isn't primarily about communication techniques—it's about understanding your nervous system. When tension builds and disagreements happen, your body isn't reacting to the current situation. It's responding to everything it has ever learned about what conflict means to you. This changes everything about how we approach disagreements.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/61   Schedule your free consultation for our new three-month coaching container here: https://kelleandnina.com
