Published On: Tue Feb 10 2026
Description: So many people, especially women, feel stuck in a cycle of ambition. Right when we reach one goal, the next best thing is there. Today, Dr. Jila sits down with Amina AlTai, the author of The Ambition Trap, for a conversation on reframing ambition and success. They discuss the complexities of ambition and the impact of core wounds on our personal and professional lives. The conversation also delves into the importance of redefining success and contentment and how it’s important to define success outside of the professional sphere. We have so much more to offer, and focusing solely on career to define success can lead to burnout.    Amina also shares her personal journey of overcoming burnout. She shares her own wakeup call moment, and how it led her to start encouraging other women to reconnect with their true selves. She explains that establishing boundaries and understanding the mind-body connection is essential to building a sustainable relationship with ambition.  For more and to keep up with Amina visit: Instagram: @aminaaltai  Website: aminaaltai.com  Read The Ambition Trap      More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
