81 | Quiet Ambition: How to Lead With Confidence Without Being the Loudest in the Room featuring Patrick Kamba

Hey mama, welcome back to the show!

Today’s conversation is one I cannot wait for you to hear, because if you’ve ever felt the pressure to “speak up more,” “be bolder,” or “make yourself louder” to get ahead… this episode is about to set your nervous system at ease.

I’m joined by Patrick Kamba — executive leader, speaker, and author of Quiet Ambition.

After 20+ years leading global teams in the pharmaceutical industry and mentoring women across the world, Patrick discovered something powerful:
👉 Ambition doesn’t have to be loud to be effective.
👉 Success doesn’t require you to hustle to exhaustion.
👉 Leadership doesn’t mean being the biggest voice in the room — it means being the truest version of YOU.

In this episode, we dive into redefining ambition in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and grounded — especially for working moms who are tired of feeling like they need to “perform” boldness just to be taken seriously.

In This Episode, We Break Down:
✅ What “Quiet Ambition” Really Means
✅ Why Success Doesn’t Have to Be Loud
✅ Why Women Often Struggle to Claim Ambition Out Loud
✅ The Power of Alliances & Authentic Visibility
✅ Quiet, Calm Confidence in Action
✅ Why Some Women Need a Male Mentor (Yes, Really!)
✅ How to Balance Career Growth With Life at Home
✅ The One Bold Step You Can Take This Week

If You’ve Ever Thought…
➡️ “I’m ambitious… but I don’t want to be pushy.”
➡️ “I know I’m capable, but I hate self-promotion.”
➡️ “I don’t want to hustle — I want to grow in a way that feels aligned.”
➡️ “I’m tired of thinking I need to be the loudest voice to be taken seriously.”

…this episode is going to feel like a warm exhale.
