Coping With Ambition

Deskripsi

Ambition used to mean climbing that corporate ladder. Then it meant girlbossing. Then it meant quitting your job to find yourself. Now? It’s… complicated.This week, we’re tracing the messy, contradictory legacy of female ambition. And with ambition discourse everywhere – Emma Grede interviews, Diary of a CEO soundbites, Vogue rebrands – we’re asking what "success" looks like if you’re no longer willing to sacrifice your entire life for it.Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson share their own shifting ambitions within this context: the craving for purpose, the fear of being consumed by work, and the cultural noise that tells us to both lean in and log off forever.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the Japanese headspa experience that (unfortunately) will change your life, and the journal worth flying to Paris for (disclaimer: cost of flights not included in purchase). ⁠I'm Rooting for Female Founders' Comebacks - And The End of Branding Women⁠, by ⁠Leslie Feinzaig⁠, FortuneMy Job Was My Life⁠.
