A New Ambition
A New Ambition is for overwhelmed business owners who want a successful business and a life they actually get to live. If you’re stretched too thin, running on empty, and tired of sacrificing your health, relationships, or peace of mind just to keep things going, you’re not alone.
We’ve all believed the big myth: that once you ‘make it’ the problems fade away. More sales will mean less pressure. Hiring will mean less on your plate. Getting through the quarter, the year, the crisis will mean everything just magically gets easier.
But it doesn’t work that way. As your business grows, the problems don’t disappear—they multiply. From the outside, it looks like success, but on the inside you feel like you’re failing or one step away from disaster. You hide and feel so embarrassed by your financial problems that you never really address them. You feel like a terrible leader because of the constant stress from your employees. And you’re totally worn out from the endless mental load—because you can’t get away from any of it without bringing your laptop, your worries, and your work everywhere you go.
I know what it’s like when your ambition starts to cost you too much. For years, my only goal was to grow my business. Now, my new ambition is to have a successful business and a well-lived life.
Join me. I’m Krista Williamson, seasoned business owner, goal-achievement coach, resilience coach, and certified life coach. Each week, I’ll share stories, strategies, and practical tools to help you reclaim your time, lower your stress, and create space for your new ambition—whatever that looks like for you.

11: Taking Time Off Without Guilt—Even If It Feels Impossible Right Now
You know you need a break. But every time you think about stepping away, the guilt kicks in.
Because there’s always more to do, you feel responsible for keeping things running, and the idea of leaving your team or your customers hanging makes you feel selfish.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why time off feels so hard to take when you own the business, how fear, guilt, and old habits keep you chained to work, what’s actually possible when you build time off into how your business runs, and small, practical steps you can take now—so time away becomes a normal part of your schedule.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to take a break, this episode will show you why that moment never magically arrives—and how to start making time off possible now.
