Anxiously Ambitious
Hi! I’m Netty, three-time founder, mom, and your host of Anxiously Ambitious. Welcome to the podcast where we embrace imperfection, honour our humanity, and prove you don’t have to have your sh*t together to build something amazing.
This is for my fellow deep feelers, sensitive souls, and anxious go-getters trying to grow without completely losing it. Together, we’ll dive into the messiness of ambition, how to balance big dreams with actual self-care (hint: it’s not easy, but it’s worth it) and how to thrive without sacrificing your sanity.
Every week, I bring you honest conversations with entrepreneurs, experts, and other beautifully flawed humans who’ve walked this path. We’ll share real stories, practical advice, and maybe even a few laughs, all to help you build a business and a life that feel like you.
If this sounds like your kind of space, hit follow and join me as we rewrite what success looks like: messy, meaningful, and entirely your own.

Tamara El-Farr: Finding Balance, Fulfillment and Joy After Burnout
Today on this episode of Cool, Calm & Rich, Janette welcomes guest Tamara El-Farr to the show! Tamara is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, business owner and artist currently based out of Annapolis, Nova Scotia. Originally from Ottawa Ontario, Tamara spent many years in the healthcare industry specializing in work with older adults, but after experiencing a head injury and work burnout, she shares how these moments significantly impacted her and led her to discover what she really values most in life.
Join us as we explore how Tamara’s entrepreneurial journey began; from transitioning out of college into a corporate job, to making the decision to leave it behind for her health, to starting from scratch with a more sustainable small business, to where she is now. Tamara talks about how to manage and prioritize your energy when juggling business, relationships and self care, while also setting boundaries and recognizing people pleasing tendencies many of us possess. This is such a powerful episode when it comes to dealing with burnout, learning how to “turn off” your working mind, the grief that can come from letting go of jobs and people that don’t align with you anymore, and how to find joy in what matters most!
Gaining perspective, constructive feedback and surrounding yourself with other entrepreneurs and business owners can be so helpful for your future decisions, we hope you continue to join us on this Cool, Calm & Rich journey! Don’t forget to hit that follow button so you never miss an episode!
