In this episode of The Ambition Coalition, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked factors shaping your success: the people you surround yourself with. You might think negativity or energy doesn’t affect you—maybe you’ve even said, “I can handle it.” But here’s the truth: influence is real, and it’s powerful. Whether you realize it or not, the people closest to you are either lifting you up or quietly holding you back. In this episode, we’ll cover: ✅ Why influence is more powerful (and subtle) than you think. ✅ The importance of introducing new energy into your circle to unlock growth and fresh ideas. ✅ How to evaluate your current circle and decide who’s helping you grow and who’s keeping you stuck. What You’ll Walk Away With: Questions to help you evaluate the relationships in your life. A clear understanding of how your circle impacts your habits, mindset, and success. Action steps to intentionally surround yourself with people who challenge you, inspire you, and expand what you believe is possible. Key Moments: Rebekah shares the power of influence through personal stories—from sports teams to group chats that changed the trajectory of her business. Melissa dives into “clustering” and why introducing new people into your life can transform your energy and results. Practical reflection questions to help you take stock of your circle. Your Circle Matters. If you’re ready to level up your life and business, it starts with being intentional about who’s influencing you. Join us as we unpack the power of your circle and why it’s time to dream bigger, push harder, and expand your perspective. 🎧 Mentioned in this Episode: High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard Reflection Questions: Use these to evaluate your circle and identify opportunities for growth. Who This Episode Is For: Network marketers, business builders, and anyone looking to grow their influence, leadership, and success by elevating the energy of the people around them.

You know that feeling when you’re working hard for something—maybe chasing a goal, building a business, or providing for your family—and then bam, here comes the mom guilt? One minute you’re motivated, proud of the example you’re setting for your kids, and the next? You’re questioning everything. • “Am I doing enough?” • “Am I missing it?” • “Is this even worth it?” Um, yeah, we’ve been there. And let’s be real: the tug between ambition and motherhood? It’s heavy, y’all. It feels like the world expects us to be everything to everyone, all the time—perfect moms, top achievers, present, patient, productive… and somehow, well-rested. (Insert a good eye-roll here.) In today’s episode, Melissa and I are getting real about: • Why this tension feels so hard. • How we’re learning to balance chasing our dreams without sacrificing what matters most. • The mindset shifts, practical tools, and honest conversations that have made a big difference for us. We’re even sharing a little biblical wisdom that’s helped us trade the guilt for grace. Because let’s face it—none of us are doing this perfectly, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t doing it well. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying this struggle alone, this one’s for you. Press play, and let’s talk about the work that matters most—your family and the dreams God’s placed on your heart.
