ALIVE + AMBITIOUS Day Immersion
About this Event
As an ambitious and capable woman you know how to make things happen. You’re capable, driven and used to asking a lot of yourself. But somewhere along the way, ambition can start to feel like pressure, urgency and constantly reaching for the next thing.
ALIVE + AMBITIOUS is an immersive day to pause, breathe and explore what becomes possible when you stop treating your own energy as an endless resource. Through embodiment, nervous system work, movement, reflection, pleasure and deep rest, you’ll discover what your capacity is really asking for…and begin to experience a way of moving towards what you want that feels more spacious, sustainable and alive.
Do you recognise these moments...
- You finally have an afternoon to yourself… and instead of enjoying it, you start mentally listing everything you should be doing.
- You have an idea you're genuinely excited about… and suddenly there are 47 things you need to figure out before you can begin.
- Someone asks if you can take something on. You don't really want to…but saying no feels harder than saying yes.
- You achieve something you've worked really hard for… and almost immediately your brain moves the goal post.
- You know you need rest. But somehow you've convinced yourself that you'll rest once everything is done.
Discover a different way to be ambitious
What can you expect?
1. A spacious day to step out of the usual pace and actually experience something different
We’ll slow things down enough for you to notice how you’re currently moving through ambition, where you’re spending your precious capacity, and what your body has been trying to tell you. Expect a beautiful, intimate day of reflection, embodiment, movement, conversation and deep rest — not another day of being talked at.
2. A new understanding of your capacity — and what’s really draining it
We’ll explore the five dimensions of capacity: physical, cognitive, emotional, sensory and spiritual. You’ll create your own Capacity Landscape so you can see where life is asking too much of you, where you’re leaking energy, and where you may have been trying to solve a capacity problem with more effort.
3. An embodied experience of a different way forward.
Rather than simply learning about nervous-system regulation, you’ll get to feel the difference between pushing, forcing and overriding yourself — and moving from a place of greater capacity, curiosity and choice. Through somatic practices, movement, reflection and pleasure, we’ll explore what changes when you stop treating yourself as an endless resource.
4. Space to reconnect with what you actually want — and leave with something to move towards.
We’ll turn towards desire, aliveness and the things that matter to you now. You’ll explore one meaningful desire or area of your life through the Pleasure of Progress lens, discovering how you might move towards it with more pleasure and less pressure. We’ll finish with sound healing, integration and space to receive — so you leave not with another list of things to do, but with a felt sense of what’s possible.
HI, I'M AINSLIE YOUNG....
For more than a decade, I’ve been exploring what it means to create a successful life
without sacrificing yourself in the process. My own journey through entrepreneurship, life across the globe, loss and change has led me to a very different understanding of ambition, capacity and aliveness.
I’m an award-winning coach and mentor, certified coach and embodiment practitioner, working with ambitious women around the world through transformational coaching, somatic experiencing, nervous system work and embodied movement. My work is grounded in an Honours degree in Psychology and a Masters in Marketing and most importantly, a deep belief that you don’t have to choose between a big life and feeling good in it. You can learn more about me over on my website or instagram.
