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.

Evie Tavares: Finding A Voice That Feels Like Your Own
What happens when you leave corporate to find freedom—but end up hustling harder than ever?
In this episode of Anxiously Ambitious, I’m joined by Evie Tavares, a copywriter, brand photographer, and creative marketing expert who helps entrepreneurs sell with empathy and show up in a way that feels true.
After walking away from a decade in banking during her second maternity leave, Evie set out to build a business on her terms. But like many of us, she found herself repeating old patterns—working late, missing moments, and carrying the guilt she thought she left behind.
We explore what it really means to build something sustainable, how to show up without burning out, and why empathy might just be your best marketing tool.
In this episode, we explore:
– The subtle ways we recreate hustle culture in our own businesses—and how to shift
– How Evie found her way back to real freedom (and why it took nearly 3 years)
– What empathy-led copywriting actually looks like—and why it works
– The power of showing up before you feel confident
– Sharing your story online without overexposing yourself
– Why your “ordinary” life might be your most powerful brand asset
