A lot of women hit their 40s and suddenly wonder: where did my drive go?

In this episode, I’m joined by executive coach and leadership trainer Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap, to talk about the powerful shift many women experience in perimenopause when their relationship with success, work, and purpose starts to change.

We dive into why so many ambitious women suddenly feel a loss of “spark,” how nervous system capacity and life demands impact our drive, and why midlife often becomes the moment when women stop chasing expectations and start reconnecting with what truly matters. Amina also shares how core emotional patterns can influence our ambition and how women can begin to move from painful ambition to purposeful ambition.

If you’ve been wondering why your energy, motivation, or career desires feel different lately, this episode will give you a whole new framework for understanding it.
