You Can Have It All, Just Not All at Once: Ricki Wax on Integrated Ambition

What happens when you are ambitious enough to build more, but already carrying a full-time career, relationships, responsibilities, anxiety, and a mind that rarely stops moving? Ricki Wax knows that tension well. She is a holistic career coach, founder of Empress Retreats, author, and Cloud AI Program Manager who has spent years building what she calls “integrated ambition,” pursuing her entrepreneurial vision without waiting to leave corporate life first. In this episode, Amanda Magho interviews Ricki as she opens up about being diagnosed with high anxiety and ADHD as an adult, confronting the perfectionism tied to her anxiety, and learning to create boundaries and systems that better support how she operates. She and Amanda also discuss building a business alongside a 9-to-5, and much more. For anyone wondering whether there is room to start building while life is already full, this conversation offers a refreshingly realistic answer.
