Daring To Desire

Both Emily and I are huge fans of Amil Niazi. She writes about middle age, motherhood, womanhood, and most recently ambition. You might be familiar with her excellent column at The Cut, where she always manages to write about the exact thing I've been fruitlessly ruminating on with clarity, humor, and insight. She's a delight. And so is her new, bestselling book, My Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir.
A few weeks ago, I interviewed Stefanie O'Connell about ambition, and it feels like a topic that can be endlessly excavated. Especially for women. Amil's book is the book I needed to read when I was 25 and depressed that I hadn't "succeeded at life as an adult" yet. And it's the book I still need now that my definitions of success have changed. We had the absolute best conversation, delved deep into our personal histories of ambition, and came out on the other side ready to fuck up with abandon.
