Shownotes

I’m bringing back this powerful conversation with Ranjita, a working mom of three, tax professional, and former Ambitious & Balanced client. She shares what it looked like to move through grief, burnout, and deep self-doubt, and how she slowly found her way back to herself. This is a beautiful conversation about learning to trust your own voice, letting go of the need to be everything for everyone, and creating a version of balance that actually feels like yours.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why negative self-talk keeps ambitious women in survival mode
  • The identity shift required for true work-life balance
  • Tangible daily practices that changed everything
  • What happened when Ranjita stopped checking work email on vacation
  • How affirmations and boundaries created generational change at home
