Episode 58: Too Ambitious? Why Women Should Refuse to Play Small with Sora Lee

from Living Well (or Trying To) with Janet · host Janet Wang

What does it mean to chase ambition without apology? In this episode, Sora Lee joins me to talk about life after big tech, breaking out of cultural stereotypes, and the messy, empowering journey of building her own agency. We dive into outrageous work stories, navigating identity as Asian women, the power of saying no to unpaid labor, and why she wants every woman around her to get rich. Sora also shares her perspective on beauty industry trends, how creators can advocate for themselves, and why she’s leaning into AI instead of fearing it. From divorce and dating to parenting and personal freedom, this conversation is a reminder that achievement isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that ambition doesn’t have to mean shrinking yourself to fit someone else’s definition of success.
