The Balancing Act: Work, Kids, & The ‘More Than Enough’ Mindset – Shamelessly Ambitious Episode 138

Whew, I’m gonna have to get used to this. In today’s episode we’re walking together on Mission Beach in San Diego, California. 🌴 I’m sort of obsessed with this casual vibe. It feels like we’re on a hot girl walk together.

Today we get personal about how I’m embodying my “more than enough” era. Tune in to find out how my kids are actually helping me get really anchored into this mentality & how their perspective is beginning to shift, too. Realizing that we have a choice every single day on how we spend our time, where we spend our money, what we’re available for, && the things we allow ourselves to hear, to see, to witness, and to experience…

THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:


• Being content in our very small yet adorable San Diego beach house
• How I’m mbodying “more than enough” by appreciating the present & not constantly seeking more
• Teaching my children about the value of time & experiences over material possessions
• Associating work with joy & fulfillment rather than hardship & struggle
• Having autonomy over spending money while sticking to a strict budget

MEET your shit-talking host

Hey, I’m Ash — and I’m the Entrepreneur’s Therapist.

And this podcast is the one to binge so you can finally do that.

That’s a title I’ve earned by building multiple 6-figure businesses while raising multiple babies after earning multiple degrees in my craft as a trained and expert therapist.

No shade to all the “help you through your burnout” podcasts where the hosts actually don’t have training and tell you “just do less!” — wait, scratch that… actually ALL THE SHADE to them because that advice? For a woman like you? Fuck that.

As shamelessly ambitious women, we don’t want less. We want to find contentment in the chaos. We want to feel good as we do all the things we care about and love pouring into.

testing, one-tWo, one-two
