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.

Andrea Parker: Let It Be Fun Again
What if the joy you're craving doesn’t come from doing more but from finally allowing yourself to do less? In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, I’m joined by Andrea Parker, conscious leadership coach, keynote speaker, and co-founder of FunX, who shares how reconnecting to joy and fun isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.
What We Cover:
✨ Why we lose touch with joy—and how to find it again
🧠 How childhood patterns shape our approach to success, pressure, and fun
💛 The real reason joy often feels unsafe (and how to shift it)
🔥 A surprisingly simple question that can change everything: What would make this more fun?
Andrea invites us to see joy not as a reward for hard work, but as a vital part of how we lead, live, and show up in our everyday lives. Through her own story, from burnout in policing, to running a joy-fuelled business, she reminds us that “letting it be fun” takes courage, not carelessness. This episode is your permission slip to make things lighter, more aligned, and a little more you.
