What does success look like when you are ambitious and raising a Family?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Rebecca Olson, international life coach and host of Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms, to unpack the real challenges career-focused parents face when trying to balance ambition and family life.

Rebecca shares her personal journey from managing 30,000-person tech conferences in San Francisco to experiencing what she now calls the “Motherhood identity crisis.” That pivotal season led her into Coaching, where she now helps working parents stop feeling overwhelmed, guilty, and constantly “not enough.”

We explore:

• The difference between coaching and Therapy
• Why work-life balance is a feeling, not a schedule
• How ambition shifts after becoming a parent
• The danger of perfectionism and the “I don’t know” spiral
• How to reflect, reset, and design your year intentionally
• A powerful backpack Exercise to help you let go and move forward
• Why identity matters more than accomplishment
• How to create meaningful connection with your children at every stage

If you are a high-achieving parent, entrepreneur, or leader who feels pulled in multiple directions, this episode will help you redefine success in a way that feels aligned, intentional, and deeply fulfilling.

Rebecca reminds us that at the end of our lives, we will care more about who we were than what we accomplished.
