Being ambitious is a gift but it can also leave you feeling like you’re never doing enough. That’s where gratitude comes in. In this episode of Accountable, I’m breaking down the tension so many high-achievers feel between striving for more and being satisfied with where they are. You’ll learn how to use what I call the Gratitude Glue to bring ambition and satisfaction together and a simple reflection practice you can start today.

We’ll cover:
Why ambition is something to celebrate, not suppress
The science behind gratitude and its impact on stress and burnout
A 3-part reflection process (Accomplishments, Amplifiers, Barriers) to anchor your gratitude and fuel forward progress
How to create harmony between pursuing big goals and enjoying what you’ve already achieved

Money isn’t just about numbers, it’s about meaning, motivators, and mindset. In this powerful episode of Accountable, I sit down with Megan Hale, former psychotherapist turned fintech founder and creator of Dream Money™. Megan shares her personal journey through business pivots, debt, motherhood, and entrepreneurship and how it all shaped her groundbreaking work around money motivators and building a secure relationship with money.

We cover:
How to identify your personal money motivators (save, earn, get out of debt, give)
Why so many entrepreneurs chase arbitrary numbers (like 6 or 7 figures) and still feel unfulfilled
What it looks like to meet with your money daily (and how it can change your life)
How her Dream Money software makes financial strategy accessible for every entrepreneur

You're Invited!
Megan and I are hosting a webinar to go deeper on this topic so you can get crystal clear on your numbers, consistently pay yourself and manage money with intention, not stress. It's free and happening on October 7th.
