Anxiously Ambitious
Hi! I’m Netty, three-time founder, mom, and your host of Anxiously Ambitious. Welcome to the podcast where we embrace imperfection, honour our humanity, and prove you don’t have to have your sh*t together to build something amazing.
This is for my fellow deep feelers, sensitive souls, and anxious go-getters trying to grow without completely losing it. Together, we’ll dive into the messiness of ambition, how to balance big dreams with actual self-care (hint: it’s not easy, but it’s worth it) and how to thrive without sacrificing your sanity.
Every week, I bring you honest conversations with entrepreneurs, experts, and other beautifully flawed humans who’ve walked this path. We’ll share real stories, practical advice, and maybe even a few laughs, all to help you build a business and a life that feel like you.
If this sounds like your kind of space, hit follow and join me as we rewrite what success looks like: messy, meaningful, and entirely your own.

Slowing Down Doesn’t Mean You’ve Given Up
What if the hardest thing you ever did... was stop pushing?
In today’s solo episode, I’m talking about a belief that gets wildly misunderstood: slowing down in business. Somewhere along the way, we started equating hard work with self-destruction. But what if there’s a third path? One where you’re still ambitious, still working hard — but you’re not abandoning yourself in the process?
We’ll dive into:
- Why choosing ease isn’t the same as choosing smallness
- The cultural pressure to glorify burnout and sacrifice
- Questions to ask when things feel hard
- The difference between meaningful discomfort and chaos
- How slowing down can actually help you stay in the game longer
This one’s for the ambitious souls who crave peace, softness, and success — all at once.
