The Ambition Paradox of Motherhood with Dr. Anne Welsh

If you’re a mom who’s ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I doing all the things and still feeling stuck?”, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Anne Welsh, a therapist and executive coach who works with working mothers navigating the identity shift that happens when your ambition meets the reality of motherhood. We’re digging into something she calls the ambition paradox—that feeling when you’re chasing all the right goals but still don’t feel fulfilled. This conversation is packed with validation, practical insight, and one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard for how to clean out all the “shoulds” and expectations we carry as women and moms. In This Episode, We Talk About:What the ambition paradox is and why so many mothers fall into itThe invisible identity shift that happens when you become a momWhy chasing “success” can sometimes pull you further from what mattersHow to figure out what’s truly yours and what’s been put on youWhat can shift when you start living from a place of alignment, not fear Connect with Dr. Anne Welsh:Website: drannewelsh.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/drannewelshLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drannewelsh ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?
