Ambition in Real Life
A free, practical planning workbook for women in leadership navigating ambition, responsibility and real life.
Who it’s for
This extract is for women who:
carry responsibility at work, at home, or both
are ambitious, but want that ambition to be sustainable
are tired of productivity advice that ignores real life
want to lead with intention, clarity, and self-respect
You don’t need to manage a team to be a leader.
You just need to be making decisions that matter.
Inside the planner
You’ll find carefully designed pages to help you:
reflect on where your time and energy are actually going
notice patterns in how you lead under pressure
clarify what matters most right now
set a focussed, realistic direction for the month or quarter ahead
There’s no prescribed pace.
You can work through it in one sitting, or return to individual pages when you need to reset.

If you care deeply about your work, but no longer want success to come at the expense of everything else, this is for you.
This is not another productivity tool.
It’s space to think clearly - in the middle of real life.
Ambition in Real Life is a practical planning workbook for women who carry responsibility and want to lead with intention, without burning themselves out in the process.
It’s designed for women in leadership roles - and for those whose leadership doesn’t sit neatly in a job title, but shows up through decision-making, influence, expertise, and responsibility.
