Ep 15: Exploring true (not toxic) ambition

11/27/20 • 30 min

I don’t know about you, but the pandemic has brought me a huge opportunity to explore my ambitions on a deeper level...

Why do I want what I want?What do we want collectively, and why?Do I actually want what I say I want, really?What conditioning and wounding has impacted my longings?How can I even know whether my ambitions are truly mine?Is it even okay to hold these desires, when so many have so little?

The questions of ambition are not questions we can neatly answer, but questions we’re invited to live in.

This week’s podcast episode is an exploration on how we can live, breathe, and move within these complex questions...

In this episode, I share:

How we can cultivate deeper self trust, while also interrogating our ambitions
The initial “yes” that can make all the difference, and why it’s not the whole story
Why unmapping from toxic ambition is Grief Work, and some thoughts on what we might need in order to be with it
The profound role pleasure can play in walking us back to a deeper understanding of our deepest longings and highest vision

Ep 14: Facing the fear of being called-out

In these deeply divided times, where we’re expanding our awareness of the ways we’ve contributed to inequity and injustice, where social media enables a lightning-fast game of “telephone”, where assumptions are made based on optics, and where calls to “cancel” someone can take place of relational engagement... the fear of being called-out can be gripping. If we aim to embody our leadership...

We don’t want to react like a little animal backed into a corner.

We don’t want to accidentally (let alone intentionally) cause harm.

But when we don’t face the fear of being called-out, we become fragile instead of resilient...

We hide and keep ourselves small and quiet, because we don’t want to risk causing harm or receiving negative attention.

We become rigid, self-righteous, and defensive, because deep down we can’t handle being wrong.

In this episode, I share:

How we can build resilience through receptivity (which doesn’t mean being open to abuse)
The difference between calls for accountability and attacks, and why we ought to discern the difference, even if we don’t like how communication is being delivered
How I “sort the mail” on communications, as a way to discern how I want to respond
Why it’s crucial to remember that we have sovereign choice over how we respond
What we need to consider about right-relationship, after the dust settles
