Redefining ambition – Tamu Thomas

 

Ambition needs a rebrand, says Tamu. Out go the Wolf of Wall Street and grinding ourselves like a pepper mill, and in comes ambition as a life force energy that takes us somewhere worth going.

From her glamorous Auntie Aminata to a panic attack in a pencil skirt and seven years riding the embers of burnout, Tamu shares how she learned to optimise for satisfaction, rather than for the voice of the dad in her head.

Frank, funny and full of nervous system wisdom, this one’s for every recovering productivity junkie who has ever leapt up to wipe a skirting board.

“You cannot be dysregulated and satisfied at the same time.”
