🔥 Is ambition a gift—or a dangerous trap?
We live in a culture that either glorifies the grind or demonizes ambition. But the truth is, ambition itself isn’t the problem—it’s what’s driving it.
In this episode, Adrian, Bri, and Christie dive into:
✅ How to differentiate healthy ambition from destructive ambition
✅ The danger of chasing opportunity just because you can
✅ Why we mistake movement for momentum (and how to avoid it)
✅ The balance of sprinting vs. recovering—and why most people get it wrong
✅ How burnout sneaks up when you take on responsibilities that aren’t yours
⚡ Reflection Questions:
Are you chasing opportunities for impact or validation?
What’s driving your ambition—purpose or insecurity?
Are you in a sprint or a season of recovery, and are you honoring it?
