What does it really mean to flourish (not just survive) in today’s unconventional times?
In this conversation, Dr. Laila Marouf is joined by Tamu Thomas - somatic coach, former social worker, and author of Women Who Work Too Much - to explore what it actually takes to flourish in a culture that rewards over-functioning, and why "too much" has become the default setting for so many women.
Together, they explore why "too much" looks different at every life stage, how toxic productivity gets mistaken for commitment, and why belonging, joy, and safety are the nervous system’s real markers of a flourishing life. They also reframe ambition itself - not as a destination but as fuel, an energy source that can either drive us toward flourishing or burn us out - with Tamu’s own north star: becoming "a well-rested woman."
