AI is everywhere right now, but most people are still wondering what to actually do with it. In this episode of Ambition After Hours, we pull back the curtain and talk about how we are really using AI in our businesses. From writing content and organizing ideas to speeding up research and improving workflows, AI has quickly become a tool that helps us work smarter and move faster. Think of it like the new intern on your team. It can help with the first draft, gather information, and support the creative process, but it still needs direction, strategy, and a human brain behind it. We share the ways AI supports our day-to-day work, where it saves us time, and where human experience still matters most. If you have been curious about AI but are not sure where it fits into your business, this conversation will give you a practical look at how entrepreneurs are actually using it.

Today we’re joined by Amy Bassili, founder of Bassili Law. Amy is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and leader who is known for building a heart-centred, values-led practice in an industry that isn’t always known for softness or humanity.   This episode is about leadership that doesn’t rely on burnout, hierarchy, or prestige. We’re talking about values, identity, redefining success, and what it really looks like to leave a large firm and build something that aligns with who you are.

On this episode of Ambition After Hours, we dive into Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss: https://amzn.to/4aPE997  and unpack what it really teaches about negotiation, emotional intelligence, and how people actually make decisions. But we’re not just talking about boardrooms and hostage situations. We’re talking about women. Women negotiating salaries. Women setting boundaries. Women leading teams. Women running businesses. Women asking for what they deserve,  without apologizing for it. For many women, negotiation has been framed as confrontation or conflict. This book flips that narrative. It shows that negotiation isn’t about being aggressive or splitting the difference; it’s about understanding how the mind works under pressure. In this episode, we explore: Why emotions drive decisions more than logic What “tactical empathy” actually means (and why it’s powerful) The science behind feeling heard and understood Why compromise often leads to poor results Prospect theory and why fear of loss is stronger than desire for gain How to use “no” as a tool instead of fearing it Some of our biggest takeaways? Negotiation is emotional regulation. Understanding beats convincing. And clarity creates stronger outcomes than compromise ever will. Whether you’re negotiating a contract, your salary, a client agreement, or a boundary in your personal life — this conversation will change how you approach it. If you’ve ever struggled to ask for more, hold your ground, or feel confident in high-stakes conversations, this one’s for you.

What if tight hips, random aches, and that weird “stuck” feeling in your body weren’t about age… but about fascia? In this episode of Get Fit With Brit, we dive deep (literally) into the world of fascia, the connective tissue that wraps your muscles, organs, and joints like a full-body wetsuit. We talk about why it matters, how it affects mobility, pain, posture, hydration, nervous system regulation, and athletic performance… and why so many practitioners are calling fascia the missing link in modern fitness and wellness.

New year, fresh goals… or the same promises wearing a new outfit? In this episode of Ambition After Hours, we’re asking the real question: Are New Year’s resolutions actually worth it? Or are they just a yearly guilt cycle wrapped in motivation quotes? We’re joined by Jessica Derksen, Executive Coach, to unpack why most resolutions fail, what actually drives sustainable change, and how to set goals that last longer than January. This is a no-fluff, high-impact conversation about discipline vs. motivation, identity-based goals, and how ambitious humans can stop starting over every year. If you’re done with unrealistic resolutions and ready for intentional growth that actually sticks, this episode is your reset button - without the pressure, perfectionism, or burnout. 🎯 Perfect for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone who wants progress without the annual self-sabotage.

The Power of Saying No + Knowing When to Push or Pause In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the hardest lessons for new (and even seasoned) entrepreneurs: the art of saying no and meaning it. We talk about how setting boundaries can actually grow your business, why over-delivering isn’t always the flex we think it is, and how to spot the difference between needing discipline and needing a damn nap. Plus, we share honest listener questions like: • “How do I find my people?” • “Is it normal to feel overwhelmed 24/7?” • “Did I hire the wrong person… or just not delegate properly?” • “How do I deal with nightmare clients without burning bridges?” And to top it off, we sprinkle in wisdom from legends like Brené Brown, Arianna Huffington, Sheryl Sandberg, and Tim Ferriss to remind you that even the greats needed boundaries and balance. So if you’ve been feeling stretched, stressed, or straight-up stuck, this one's for you.

Let’s talk about the double bind. In this episode of Ambition After Hours, we’re unpacking the pressure women face to walk the tightrope between being assertive and being “likeable.” We share personal stories from boardrooms to breakrooms, and how we've navigated (and sometimes tripped over) the unspoken rules of leadership as women. From being underestimated to being called “too much,” we’re getting real about what it takes to lead, be respected, and still stay true to yourself. Spoiler alert: you don’t have to choose.
