Is There a Price to Too Much Ambition? with Melanie Michalak
Show Notes

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Mal, Lara, & Ken chat with Melanie Michalak, a geologist, college professor, endurance athlete, and new mother. The group talks about the grey area between showing off and being ambitious, how to move away from binary goal-based ambition, why parental leave policies set up parents for burnout, and how to navigate all of the goals imposed on you as a new parent in 2022 (like *exclusive* breast-feedinggggg).
