In this insightful episode of the Just Rachel Talking Podcast, Rachel dives into a concept that transformed her own approach to ambition: setting goals, but also setting anti-goals. While we often focus on what we want to achieve, Rachel emphasizes the crucial, yet often overlooked, practice of defining what we won't sacrifice along the way.

Rachel shares her personal experience as an ambitious person, acknowledging the common struggle of becoming consumed by projects. She discusses how anti-goals serve as vital guardrails, ensuring that our pursuit of success aligns with our deepest values and priorities.
