The problem you’re facing
If you’re driven and capable, you may know this experience: You stop working — but your system doesn’t. Rest triggers guilt. Stillness feels irresponsible. Productivity feels like safety. Even when you slow down, something in you stays on guard—scanning for what you should be doing next. So you push again. Not because you want to—but because it feels safer and more familiar. Not because you’re doing rest wrong—but because you were never taught how to feel safe when you stop. This course is for people who’ve started to notice that internal conflict—between the part that wants rest and the part that insists on productivity—and want to relate to it differently.
What Grounded Ambition offers
Grounded Ambition is a 5-week guided course that teaches you how to navigate your inner world—especially the guilt and inner pressure that arise around rest. Not by fixing yourself. Not by trying harder. And not by learning something complicated. But by learning a simple, unfamiliar way of being with what’s already happening inside you—so rest becomes possible, and ambition comes from alignment instead of pressure. This isn’t about becoming less driven. It’s about letting effort stop being in charge.
What you’ll learn
Over 5 weeks, you’ll learn how to: 👉 step out of moralized effort and constant “shoulds” 👉 slow down with your experience in a way that’s gradual and non-forcing 👉 relate to inner pressure instead of reflexively obeying it 👉let action emerge from inner coherence 👉 integrate change without turning it into another project Fully recorded. Fully self-paced.
Why I created this
I'm Stephen Tracy For years, rest made me anxious. Not because I didn’t need it—but because I felt guilty about enjoying it. What changed wasn’t a better routine or better self-management. It was learning a way of relating to myself I’d never been taught. As I developed a new, embodied relationship with the part of me that believed productivity kept me safe, rest became something I could allow—and eventually enjoy. Grounded Ambition is the distillation of that shift.
