On last week’s episode of Two by Tuesday, we talked about the 2x2 matrix of competence and joy with regards to our work. The top left of that box – the trap quadrant – says a lot about us, being highly competent in something, but that something doesn’t give us the joy that we need in life.
So today, I invited someone who can help us out if we’re stuck in doing a lot of work in that trap area. Join us today as we learn to live with more fulfillment, joy, and ease while still being ambitious.

What are your ambitions in life?
More often than not, when we reach our 40s, we start to go through this transition wherein our ambitions change. Some find it hard to navigate this, given that the culture of our workplace doesn’t change as we are, but to cut the dissatisfaction, we need to embrace the change that’s happening within.
But the question is how? How do we allow ourselves to fully step into life and work in the way that we want while also sustaining ourselves in the long run?
Discover the answer to that question as we dive into this episode with Kathy.
