How do you navigate the inevitable conflicts between work and life? Not just the daily schedules or mounting responsibilities, but the tensions between your ambition for your career and your ambition for life?
How do you decide what to prioritize and what to let go of? How do you decide when to speed ahead and when to ease up?
These aren’t questions of work-life balance or self-care. They’re questions we can answer when we get serious about intentionally designing a life with work that works for you.
Join Kathy Oneto, executive and life-work coach and founder of Sustainable Ambition, for conversations with experts, authors, and friends to explore sticky questions around navigating ambitious careers while integrating life with work, practicing sustainable work practices, and building resilience.
Most people assume that ambition and sustainability are mutually exclusive. Not so! Keep listening, and Kathy will make you a believer in Sustainable Ambition, too.

134. The Summer Books Series: On Slowing Down and Simplification
This summer and over the four episodes in June and July, I will be sharing books that have really delighted me. Some of them have been written by past guests, while others are new books that have inspired me to think more deeply about sustainability.
My hope in sharing these books with you is that you will be inspired, as I was, and think differently about how you operate this summer. Through this summer book series, perhaps you’ll start asking important questions, like, “Well, what do I really want? What is enough? What is worth it? Where might I be settling? And where and when can I allow myself to choose sustainability?”
This episode is for those of us who may need permission to ease into summer and to play a little.

133. How Art and Creativity Transform Our Well-Being with Tasha Golden, PhD
How can the arts support our ability to thrive and flourish in life and work?
As part of my continuing conversations about creativity and how it intersects with Sustainable Ambition, I’m talking with Dr. Tasha Golden about the role of art in our evolution and its power to help us express ourselves more fully.
We also discuss the dangers of “robotic” behavioral norms to our physical and mental wellbeing and how reimagining identity as an evolving narrative rather than a fixed point can help us let go of (some of) our angst and uncertainty as we grow.

132. Prioritizing Joy and Creativity in Our Lives with Emily Shaw
If asked, most of us would likely say that we want to live with a sense of meaning and purpose. But how many of us truly put that intention front and center in how we make choices for ourselves?
In this episode, I’m continuing conversations that explore how creative practices can help us come to a deeper understanding of our ambitions and support us as we seek to live and work in meaningful ways.
Podcast executive producer and audio artist, Emily Shaw, joins me to talk about her pursuit of meaning and enjoyment in her life, following her curiosity, how she sustains her personal creative practices, the importance of “doable” goals, and the benefits of embracing discomfort.

131. The Art of Visual Thinking with Doug Neill
Can engaging in creative practices help us on our journey of Sustainable Ambition? Can we apply creative practices to live and work in more fulfilling and satisfying ways?
To begin answering those questions, I am joined today by Doug Neill, founder of Verbal to Visual.
Doug and I discussed the impact of visual thinking and how it can unlock creativity and improve comprehension. Doug believes that even if you don’t consider yourself creative you can discover doodling and sketchnoting as a powerful thinking tool. We also talked about how visualization can help us better understand our commitments and aid in our pursuit of Sustainable Ambition.

130. Embracing How Our Ambitions Shift and Evolve
Do you have a hard time allowing your ambitions to shift and change? Do you feel uncomfortable when at times you don’t feel as committed to your ambitions?
I want to challenge these dominant narratives about success and ambition. So today, I’m digging into why evolving ambitions are inevitable, and even desirable, and offer three alternative ways to reframe ambition so it is sustainable over the course of our lives.
