Embrace Your Ambition: A Therapist’s Guide to Empowering Women
After watching the incredible series *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*, I feel inspired. Inspired by Midge's wit, ambition, and charm. Inspired to feel heard as a woman with dreams and visions. Not everyone supports the audacity to see yourself as someone blazing new trails or stepping outside the proverbial box. Change is inevitable, and I want to be part of the wind to guide the direction of the sails, not just the rudder trying to navigate when the seas get rough. Join me in this ambition; change is coming.
Why Ambition is Essential for Personal Growth
Ambition isn't a dirty word. It's not selfish or greedy. Ambition is necessary. It's the driving force that propels us forward, challenges us to be better, and inspires us to reach higher. As women, and especially as moms, we often put everyone else’s needs first. We worry about what others think if we dare to dream big. But you deserve to chase your dreams, to stand up, and to go after what you truly want.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: A Lesson in Ambition
Inspired by *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*, we remember that ambition is not a dirty word. In the finale, Midge says, “There are people who will tell you that ambition is a dirty word, that it is synonymous with selfishness and greed. But I say ambition is a necessity. It is the driving force that pushes us forward, that challenges us to be better, to reach higher.”
““The world is full of people who will try to put you in a box. Don’t let them. You define you. You are the one who writes your story.””

As moms, we teach our children to dream big and never settle. Yet, we often forget to follow our own advice. We must lead by example, showing our children that ambition is powerful and positive. Pursuing our goals with determination is not only acceptable but essential.
