Summary

What comes up for you when someone calls you ambitious? Are you offended? Appreciative? A little of both? What about the word “sacrifice”? Whether it’s in your career or your personal life, where do you draw the line when it comes to deferring your own wants, needs, and desires in service of someone else’s agenda? In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with author and entrepreneurial soul coach Rha Goddess about her new book, Intentional Ambition, addressing these life-changing questions. Tune in for an inspiring, provocative, and in many ways healing conversation that digs into: a more balanced definition of “success”; wounded ambition and the fear of taking risks; how our resistance to disappointment creates disappointment; the dilemma of “living on halftime”; restoration after a breakdown; distorted determination; sacrifice and suffering; reconnecting with our humanity and building a society where everyone thrives; the “belly full” personality type; the five ways ambition can be wounded—and the five healing “redemptions”; systemic roadblocks and overcoming that which thwarts us on our path; reclaiming—the first step in renegotiation; refusing to buy into the “scare of scarcity”; embracing the truth of our wholeness and worthiness; rewriting your inner narrative; and more.

0:00.0	The greatest gift that we can give ourselves, Tammy, is to heal the lie of not enoughness.
0:07.1	And all of the ways in which not enoughness permeates our existence, whether it is there is not enough or we are not enough.
0:18.1	On some level, all of us are operating from this place of preventing loss.
0:27.5	In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is Ra Goddess. Ra Goddess is a friend to so many. She is the entrepreneurial soul coach behind hundreds of
0:43.7	breakthrough change makers, cultural visionaries, and social entrepreneurs. Her vision to revolutionize
0:52.0	the way we live, work, play, and do business.
0:56.0	She's the founder and CEO of Move the Crowd.
1:00.1	She's the author of the book The Calling, an audio series with Sounds True,
1:06.2	Making Money, Making Change, and Bra Goddess has authored a new book. It's called Intentional Ambition,
1:16.0	redefining your work for greater joy, freedom, and fulfillment. Ra, welcome. Thank you so much,
1:23.6	Tammy, for having me. It's so great to be here. Tell me a little bit about what brought you after the writing of the calling, which was really
1:34.1	focused on these three short sentences that I love so much, stay true, get paid, do good.
1:40.7	As soon as I saw those three short sentences with the period, you know, stay true,
1:45.2	period, get paid, period, do good, period. I thought, Ra's my person. Like, yes. What brought you from that
1:53.6	to writing a book about intentional ambition? You know, this is interesting because the first kernel of this book came through when I was about halfway through the calling.
2:07.6	And one of the things that I was noticing in the conversations that I was having with the leaders that we serve every single day was that there was sort of this crisis around the definition of success.
2:21.5	In other words, when people were thinking about being able to say yes to purpose, they were
2:27.6	considering what were all of the things that they had to let go of?
2:31.3	What were all of the things that they had to unlearn?
2:34.0	What were all of the things that they had to unlearn? What were all of the things that
2:35.0	they had to really say no to in order to say yes to themselves? And there was something about
2:44.7	the narratives of what people had endured that continued to stay with me.
