In this thought-provoking episode, Athena explores the complex and often debated question: "Can women really have it all?" As women, we are frequently caught between two opposing views—one that encourages us to pursue every ambition without limits, and another that advocates for a softer, more restful approach to life. Athena shares her personal journey, reflecting on her own busy life filled with business ventures, writing, public speaking, and maintaining personal relationships. She also considers the experiences of past generations of women and how their lives differ from those of women today.

Key Discussion Points:
  • The Dual Camps on 'Having It All': Athena discusses the two dominant perspectives—one that says women can have it all and another that emphasizes the importance of rest and avoiding burnout.
  • Personal Reflections on Overwhelm: Athena shares her own experiences of feeling overwhelmed by the demands of her life, and how this led her to question whether having it all is truly possible—or even desirable.
  • Generational Comparisons: A look at how the opportunities available to women today differ from those of previous generations and how these changes have impacted women's roles and responsibilities.
  • Seasons of Life: Athena proposes that while women can have it all, it may not be possible to achieve everything simultaneously. She discusses the importance of prioritizing different aspects of life during different seasons.
  • The Responsibility of 'Having It All': Athena poses the question, "Do we really want it all?" She considers the increased responsibility and potential stress that comes with achieving more and having more.
  • Intentional Living: Athena shares her evolution from pursuing external validation to focusing on internal fulfillment and longevity in her goals and desires.


Key Questions for Listeners:
- Do you truly want to have it all, or are you driven by societal expectations?
- What are the costs—emotional, physical, and mental—of trying to have it all?
- What should we genuinely want, and how can we align our desires with our life purpose?
