Ambitious But Exhausted with Ash Hartney
For ambitious women who are running a business, a household, and on empty.
I'm Ash Hartney. I've helped build multiple businesses to 7 and 8 figures while raising a family, and I did most of it burnt out before I worked out there was another way.
This channel is about the part nobody teaches you: how to keep building without running yourself into the ground. Stress. Burnout. Guilt. Releasing control. Money worry. Doing the school run and a client call in the same hour. The stuff you're carrying on your own because nobody around you seems to get it.
You'll find:
• Solo episodes on burnout, stress and running a business without losing yourself
• Ambitious but Exhausted Podcast, honest conversations with women in business and wellness
• Behind the scenes at The Bathhouse, our wellness venue in Douglas Park, Sydney
New episodes every week.
