Totally feel your thoughts and feelings here! It’s so important which words we choose when we not only talk about ourselves, but another things we are occupied with πŸ™ŒπŸ»

This made me really think. I don't think my ambition has got any smaller since becoming a mum, it's just become much more intentional.

I'm less interested in climbing for the sake of it and much more interested in building something that's aligned with the life I actually want. From the outside that might look like I've "slowed down", but in reality I feel more driven than ever.

I wonder how many women minimise their ambition simply because it no longer looks the way society expects it to.

This is such important insight! I don’t think I’ve ever considered it before but now you have me thinking a lot about it. It’s probably related to why a lot of us have not shared our substack publications with people we know.
