    Breaking the Burnout Loop: Ambition, Identity & the Cost of Overachievement with Amina AlTai
    Jun 19 2025
    What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted—and you still feel exhausted, invisible, or like it’s not enough? In this episode, I sit down with executive coach, author, and chronic illness advocate Amina AlTai to talk about the ambition trap that so many women find themselves stuck in. We’re talking burnout, people-pleasing, invisible labor, and the deeply ingrained systems that convince us our worth is tied to how much we produce. Amina shares insights from her new book The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, including why redefining ambition is key to healing, how codependency and chronic overachievement are related, and what high-performing women often get wrong about success. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything and it’s still not enough—this conversation is your wake-up call and your permission slip to do it differently. In this episode, you'll walk away learning: How the cultural definition of ambition keeps women stuck in burnout cycles Why burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a systemic setup The hidden cost of invisible labor, especially for women and mothers How your core wounds shape your ambition, your money mindset, and your relationships A practical framework to move from painful ambition to purposeful ambition Why even women who “have it all” still struggle to believe in their zone of genius—and how to reclaim it Follow Amina on Instagram @aminaaltai Stay up to date with everything Everyone's Talkin' Money on Instagram @everyonestalkinmoney Learn more about your ad choices.
