The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Boundaries, Grief & Change with Vanessa Iceton

Have you ever reached a point where you genuinely did not know what you liked anymore?

In this episode of Ambition After Hours, Brittini and Jen are joined by Registered Psychologist Vanessa Iceton, Director and CEO of Pearl Psychological, for an honest conversation about identity, grief and the pressure to be everything everyone else needs.

Vanessa explains how grief can show up when a familiar role, relationship or pattern changes. We talk about losing your sense of self, the guilt that can come with taking time for yourself and why so many women label their own needs as selfish.

The conversation also explores boundaries with yourself, external validation, perfectionism and the role failure plays in entrepreneurship and personal growth. Vanessa shares how looking inward can help you reconnect with what brings you joy, fulfillment and a sense of purpose.

If you have ever wondered who you are outside of being a parent, partner, caregiver or business owner, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
