You've probably felt it — the pull between who you are and who you think you're supposed to be. Between the life you're living and the one that feels more true. Authbition is a space for people who feel that tension and refuse to look away from it. Writers, makers, entrepreneurs, teachers, and everyone in between — people building lives that don't fit neatly into one category.
This is where those conversations happen.
Authbition is a podcast, a community, and a growing body of work built around a simple but radical idea — that authenticity and ambition aren't opposites. They’re partners, like super heros who started off as foes and then teamed up and became a powerful force for good.
The AND between them is the whole thing.
Two hours of uninterrupted conversation feels rare today.
That's exactly what Authbition offers — a seat at the table of a deep conversation, no obligation to stay, no pressure to agree. Just a space to think.
Hear the latest episode:
Libby Shively McAvoy has rebuilt her life more than once, and now she helps other people do the same. She's a certified relationship and trauma recovery coach who specializes in emotional intelligence, a yoga teacher, an editor at Dancing Elephants Press on Medium, and the author of three books, including Just Start Theory.
In this episode, Andrew and Libby talk about closing a yoga studio and starting over, the real difference between coaching and therapy, writing as a way to find the people who need you, and how a yoga practice changes as you do. Then they play the Whole Mind Game on authenticity and ambition, the two words this show is named for, and land on being ourselves, rising with curiosity, and making the greatest impact we can.
