Lessons from Times Square 1: You Can Have It All

What would you allow yourself to want if you knew you couldn’t fail? In the first episode of my Lessons from Times Square series, I’m challenging the belief that ambitious women have to choose between extraordinary success and a life they actually enjoy. You don’t need to want less. You need to get honest about what you actually want and stop confusing “having it all” with doing it all for everyone else. I’m sharing why putting myself on a billboard in Times Square was about so much more than visibility, the beliefs I had to unlearn after building a successful life that felt terrible to live, and what may actually be standing between you and the next level you know you’re capable of. This is your permission to want the promotion, the money, the health, the family, the time, the fun, or the ridiculously big dream you’ve been negotiating down before you even give yourself a chance to go after it. In This Episode, You Will Learn The difference between “having it all” and the exhausting version ambitious women have been taught to pursue What my Times Square billboard taught me about owning a dream before knowing how to make it happen The hidden responsibilities successful women carry that were never actually part of the life they wanted The belief about success I had to unlearn after reaching the C-suite and realizing something still wasn’t working The question that reveals where you may be negotiating your own life down What changes when you stop giving other people voting rights in your biggest decisions The reason capability alone may no longer be enough to get you to your next level What the people doing extraordinary things understand about what’s available to them The uncomfortable desires that may be pointing directly toward your next chapter The 25-things exercise to uncover what you actually want before worrying about how you’ll get it What we’re tackling next in Lessons from Times Square, including visibility, approval, capacity, and resourcing yourself for a big life Resources + Links Ready to make more, work less, and design a life you love?
