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.

Is Balance *Actually* Bullshit ?
In this episode, I’m challenging the popular notion that “balance is bullshit,” especially for entrepreneurs. You’ve probably heard people say, “Go all-in now, balance will come later.” But if you’re waiting for balance to magically appear in some future season, you’re setting yourself up for burnout. I’ll explain why waiting for balance is a trap, why the ‘all-in’ mentality can do more harm than good, and how to create sustainable balance right now—even in the middle of the chaos. I’ll redefine what balance really means, show you how to align your energy with what matters most, and share practical steps to help you thrive in your business and life without tipping the scales too far.
What We’ll Cover:
• The Myth: Why the idea of going all-in now and finding balance later is a setup for burnout.
• Redefining Balance: What balance actually looks like in real life and why it’s not about splitting your time perfectly.
• Practical Steps: How you can start creating balance today, even in the middle of a busy season.
Key Takeaways:
• Balance is about alignment, not perfection—it’s about making sure your life isn’t tipping too far in one direction.
• Waiting for balance to come later often leads to burnout. You have to create it in real-time, even during the busiest phases.
• Building balance now helps you stay grounded, make better decisions, and sustain your energy for long-term success.
