anattynook | 'I have no more ambition' | a late afternoon chat on jobs, career aspirations and success @anattynook | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
here's a chatty video about some insights I've had lately about work and ambition :) hope you enjoy! the video is pretty long so feel free to grab a cup of hot tea and chill out or leave this playing as background noise 🧡

note: I didn't mention corporate jobs that also severely overwork their employees and expect unreasonable levels of productivity as that has not been my experience so far but yes I recognise this is a reality for a lot of people.
