Stop Surviving (Part 4): From Self-Doubt...

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

Today, I’m joined by the incredible Ranjita - a powerhouse working mom of three, tax professional, and former Ambitious and Balanced client. This one’s emotional, inspiring, and real. Ranjita shares how grief, burnout, and relentless self-doubt pushed her into survival mode, and how she found her way back to joy, clarity, and confidence. We talk about what it really means to shift the voice in your head, break generational patterns, and reclaim balance in a way that feels deeply personal. You’ll hear the raw truth about what changed when she stopped saying yes to everything and started saying yes to herself. I promise, you’ll leave this episode both teary-eyed and motivated. 

Topics in this episode:

  • Why negative self-talk keeps ambitious women in survival mode 
  • The identity shift required for true work-life balance 
  • Tangible daily practices that changed everything 
  • What happened when Ranjita stopped checking work email on vacation 
  • How affirmations and boundaries created generational change at home
