In this episode, we reflect on the tug-of-war between ambition and peace, a struggle many of us face in balancing professional aspirations with personal well-being. I share insights from my experience as a project manager, discussing the privilege and challenges of remote work, navigating high-stakes responsibilities, and making tough decisions about leadership roles. Together, we explore the emotional cost of corporate culture, contrast it with Spain’s emphasis on work-life balance, and redefine success in a way that honors our values. Through collaboration, boundaries, and empathy, we can find a third path—one that allows us to pursue our goals without sacrificing our peace or well-being.
