Stop Telling Ambitious Women to Rest | Ep. 3

Ambition was never selfish. It’s leadership in disguise. In this episode, Annette takes apart the advice ambitious women keep hearing: sit down, slow down, you’re over-functioning, you’ll burn out. She shows why indecision, not ambition, is what’s slowing your goals, discipline, and success.

📖 This episode comes from the playbook inside Annette’s #1 bestselling book, Unstoppable Babe™.

In this episode:

• Why the advice is wrong, and you’re not: ambition is your future texting you.
• What if your self-care is your ambition? Building the life you want is the highest form of caring for yourself.
• The GPS analogy: why “take me to the best restaurant” never gets you there, and what clarity actually looks like.
• Rolling down your window: what happens when you ask everyone else for directions to your own life.
• Your internal GPS (Growth, Potential, Success): your intuition is already mapping the route.
• Indecision kills discipline: when you’re decisive, discipline rises on its own.
• Momentum over motivation, and why the drive should be a dance party, not a grind.

Key takeaways:

• There has never been anything wrong with you. Your ambition is right. The opinions are wrong.
• You don’t burn out doing what you love. Nobody can beat the woman who loves her work and the impact it creates.
• Certainty creates results. Decide what you want, believe it, expect it, and the right people and opportunities show up.
• Leaders get followed. Know where you’re going and everyone wants to get in the car.

Your challenge this week:

1. Name your destination. Write one goal with full detail: what, where, when, and how it feels.
2. Catch every “roll down the window” moment when you ask someone else for permission or direction.
3. Replace it with five words: I get what I decide. Period.

You’re built for this. Bet on yourself.

10x Your Energy This Week by Dropping One Thing | Ep. 2

What if you had 10x the energy every week without adding a single thing to your plate? 📖 This episode is pulled straight from Chapter 6 of Annette’s #1 bestselling book, Unstoppable Babe™. In this episode, Annette shows you how to stop managing what people think of you. That habit is the hidden engine behind people pleasing, perfectionism, and playing small. Drop it, and you get your energy, confidence, and leadership back!

In this episode:

• Where your energy is actually going: the subtle ways you manage other people’s opinions without realizing it.
• The childhood moment that taught her “perfect = safe” and why that was never true.
• Perfectionism is simply the fear of being seen. It’s a learned safety habit, not who you are.
• The visibility shift: give “what if they love it?” the same airtime as “what if I fail?”
• Her first time on the mic: shaking hands, a dry mouth, one joke, and pushing play anyway.
• Effort vs. results: your effort is 100% yours, and their results are 100% theirs.
• The 5-word phrase that made her career take off: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Key takeaways:

• You were born belonging. Being worthy is your birthright, not something you earn.
• Being bad at the beginning is the price of entry. Every great performer pushed play before she was ready.
• Calm authority comes from letting people own their results, in leadership, parenting, and marriage.
• How you show up is 100% your responsibility. How they take it is 0%.

Your challenge this week:

1. Run a tally audit. Make a mark every time you think about what someone thinks of you.
2. When you catch yourself managing, whisper: not my circus, not my monkeys.
3. Watch how much energy you get back.

You’re built for this. Bet on yourself babe 🖤
