141. Painful Vs. Purposeful Ambition: Amina AlTai
interview by Nada Jones
Amina AlTai is a leadership coach, keynote speaker, and author of The Ambition Trap, helping purpose-driven leaders and teams thrive. She specializes in historically excluded communities (women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+), but all are welcome. Her goal is to help others reconnect their drive to their purpose so they can step fully into their purposeful ambition without burning out.
She has partnered with Google, Roku, Snap, Outdoor Voices, NYU, and HUGE, and is a Forbes contributor, Entrepreneur Magazine expert-in-residence, and Success Magazine Women of Influence honoree. She also hosts the podcast Amina Change Your Life, where she interviews top leaders on building meaningful, purpose-driven careers.
In today’s episode, Nada talks with Amina about her book, The Ambition Trap, where she explores the difference between living a purpose-filled and a pain-filled life. Amina explains how a double autoimmune diagnosis in her twenties led to a journey of introspection and healing, then eventually, a career change. After becoming a life coach, she began to recognize patterns in her clients and the need for a conversation on ambition and identity. Sharing key components of the book, Amina sheds a fresh light on life for Liberty listeners during our middle third pursuits.
