I used to think being ambitious meant always being “on.” The laptop in bed, the constant notifications, the guilt that came with trying to do both well. But what I’ve learned — and what we’re unpacking today — is that choosing family doesn’t mean letting go of your goals.
In this episode, I sit down with Jake Isaacs, serial integrator and co-founder of Gathering the Kings, to talk about how to stop letting work compete with your family. We dig into what it looks like to grow with structure, to lead without burnout, and to build systems that support your values instead of stealing your peace.
Jake shares what he’s learned about balance after building and leading companies, and I share how I’ve had to redefine success as a mom, entrepreneur, and human who just wants to be fully present.
If you’ve ever felt torn between being who your family needs and who your goals demand, this one’s for you. It’s your reminder that real success protects what matters most.
