Shownotes

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Randi Braun, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Something Major and mom of three - for a real and energizing conversation about ambition, burnout, and redefining success.

We dig into what she calls “low work libido” (yes, it’s a thing!), how motherhood shifts our drive, why the to-do list never ends (and why that’s not a problem), and what it actually looks like to go all-in on your career without burning out. This is the pep talk/truth bomb you didn’t know you needed. 

Topics in this episode:

  • What “low work libido” really means—and why so many ambitious moms feel it 
  • How to redefine success on your own terms (and celebrate before the feedback comes) 
  • The myth of productivity and how delegation and joy create real impact 
  • Why being “self-devotional” matters more than being self-disciplined 
  • Real-life rituals to stay ambitious and balanced (without burning out)
