The Reimagine Ambition Podcast
Here on the podcast we want to have inspiring conversations for parents looking to reimagine the way they balance work and family. Reimagine Ambition is all about sharing stories, tips and new ways of thinking about being a working parent. Especially designed for dual working families living in this “do it all” world, on the podcast we are looking to spark dialogue and inspire each other to find new ways to buck the norm and find a more sustainable way to parent, work and thrive. In interviewing real people and experts, our goal is to bring authentic conversations about the struggles of being working parents and help uncover new ways to reimagine ambition and find more joy in the wild adventure of raising a family and building a career.
