Ambition is Good

Ambition is still seen as dirty and unladylike for women by way too many. This resonanted with me since I believe ambition is a good thing for anyone who embraces it and does no harm in its pursuit.

Little Known Facts

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as I learned unknown facts about Meghan and Serena, concerning their children and their reactions as mothers. We've all had heart-wrenching real-life parenting experiences. Many working moms have also dealt with the archetype assigned to us, simply because we're women who work outside of our homes.

Great topic, soothing voice. Important conversation.

I love this podcast because Meghan and the team not only talk about the Archetype but bring knowledgeable people to speak about the etymology of typecast, how it is misconstrued, and the way Ambition is thought of when a man or a woman is exhibiting it.
