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.

Kathryn Spears: Overwhelmed, Overachieving, and Out of Sync
What if your productivity is actually your body’s survival response? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Kathryn Spears to unpack how nervous system dysregulation fuels burnout, perfectionism, and dissociation especially for high-achieving women.
What We Cover:
- Why being “dissociated as f*ck” is more common than you think, and how to spot it
- The nervous system’s role in burnout, anxiety, and emotional shutdown
- Why mindset work isn’t enough, and what actually creates lasting safety
- How reclaiming agency can transform your life, leadership, and capacity
- The surprising ways trauma responses show up in success, hustle, and overachievement
If you’ve been stuck in loops of overdoing, emotional exhaustion, or quiet inner chaos, this is the conversation that will help you finally connect the dots.
