In your 20s you're told to be as ambitious as you can be, go after your dreams, work hard, be delusional, pursue your passion at any cost. How can we do that without our lives and health crumbling? What is the balance between ambition and appreciation? In today's episode we bring on Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap to talk about: 
Why having more ambition doesn’t always make you more successful
How a scarcity mindset can ruin your 20s
How to find your ‘zone of genius’
When to say ‘no’ to something you really want to do
How to lean into the slower seasons of life
The miserable paradox of success
When do you need to ‘lock in’ & when do you need to have fun?

If you've ever struggled with balancing your big goals with your desire to enjoy life, this episode is for you.
