Akshaya Ravi: 我从小在母亲的严格教导下成长，她注重职业道德、同理心和回馈社会。这塑造了我努力工作的性格，但也让我在追求成功的过程中经历了倦怠。我意识到，平衡事业和个人生活，拥有平静和放松的生活同样重要。我从会计转行到科技销售，这个过程充满了挑战，但也让我发现了自己对销售和市场营销的热情。我学习如何更好地展现自己，这不仅提升了我的自信，也为我带来了更多机会。在事业上，我追求独立，这让我拥有了更多自由和选择，也让我能够更好地平衡家庭和事业。我的目标是拥有平静、轻松的生活，并拥有爱我的家人和朋友，同时回馈社会，帮助其他女性实现自我价值。 在追求成功的过程中，我经历过多次倦怠，这让我意识到，平衡工作和生活，做自己喜欢的事情，并拥有充足的休息时间非常重要。应对倦怠的最好方法是做让你开心的事情，例如与朋友聚会、旅行、享受美食等等。 我建议那些对现状不满的人，先列出自己擅长的事情、喜欢的事情以及能够赚钱的事情，找到三者的交集，然后逐步尝试，不要盲目辞职。要根据自己的实际情况，平衡工作和个人生活，并为未来的发展做好规划。 Ella: (无核心论点，主要为引导访谈)

Shownotes Transcript

You wake up and grab your phone. A million notifications.

This is the tension Akshaya Ravi understands deeply. In this episode, she opens up about her evolution from relentless hustle to intentional peace.

Akshaya built her identity on being the hardest worker in the room—until she realized something was missing. "I kept pushing. You got this award, it's okay. Go for the next one. I don't take a moment to appreciate it," she confesses.

We explore her journey from accounting to tech sales, her morning ritual that changed everything (simple tea on her balcony), and her perspective on professional presentation as a strategic choice rather than a limitation.

For those of us navigating careers while protecting our spirits, Akshaya offers honest reflection on what it means to want both achievement and tranquility in the same life. No perfect answers—just the possibility that maybe we don't have to choose.
