Amina AlTai: Redefining Ambition on Your Own Bold Terms

Send us Fan MailAbout This EpisodeIn this powerful episode, holistic business and career coach and author Amina AlTai joins us to unpack and redefine ambition. Drawing from her own experiences and her new book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, Amina explores the difference between painful ambition rooted in core wounds and purposeful ambition aligned with wellbeing and contribution. We dive into the nuanced ways identity and societal pressures shape ambition, especially for women and marginalized leaders, and introduce tools and ideologies like the resentment line. If you're feeling burned out, questioning your path, or craving a more sustainable version of success, this conversation will help you redefine achievement on your own terms without losing yourself in the process. About Amina AlTaiAmina AITai (pronounced AH-MIN-UH) is a holistic business and career coach, proud immigrant and chronic illness advocate.  A leading coach to notable leaders, executives and founders—Amina's mastery is in connecting us to our brilliance and teaching us to live and lead from it each day.
