LLearning how to say “NO” to others can be one of the most challenging issues we deal with on a regular basis. “What if I let them down?” “What if I disappoint them?” You know the drill. It isn’t uncommon to find the concept of saying NO to be extremely difficult. Especially when you want to say “No,” but the person asking things of you is suuuuper good at guilt trips. In this episode, Amy digs into our insatiable urge to please others by saying “yes” to everything and how this behavior may actually be robbing you of your freedom and your voice. This pod explores:
What saying “No” really means to you
How to stop being motivated from a place of guilt or fear
What you are really saying when you become the “Yes Man”
How to buy yourself some time
Declining with grace

IIf you’re like most people, it is likely you have been taught (or learned) that speaking up for yourself somehow equals being a total dick or purposely trying to hurt someone. For whatever reason, many of us learn to silence our true thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires in order to cater to everyone else’s thoughts, feelings, etc. We twist and contort and sell ourselves short so we can make everyone else happy, often ignoring our own intuition, needs, or values. In this episode, Amy discusses some of the most common fallacies about standing up for yourself and offers a 3-step process to taking a stand for the most important things in your life.
This pod explores:
What most people think is the “truth” about standing up for yourself
How to heighten your awareness around when you tend to not speak up for yourself
How to figure out what is really stopping you from owning your truth
How to switch your focus to you vs. “them”

IIf you took a look around you… to all of your close relationships, would they all be reciprocal?

This episode is all about looking at your relationships through a different lens… by looking at who is and who is not contributing to your life. Have a listen and learn exactly how to identify the “takers” in your life, where we usually get tripped up, and what to do about it.
This pod explores:
Perhaps the best metaphor EV-AH to analyze your relationships
Where we usually get tripped up in wanting the best from people in our lives
How to take an inventory of the people in your life and decide where you need to scale down

EEver wonder if your relationship desires and wants are just a pipe-dream? Ever see the occasional happy couple and think, “That’s really not very possible for most people.” Ever find yourself in a dating situation and think, “Well, I think this is as good as it’s going to get. I think the things I want are just me being nit-picky”?
If you’ve had these thoughts or notions about relationships, you are certainly not alone. In this week’s episode, Amy addresses a listener’s submission inquiring about what realistic expectations in a relationship look like, how to know if you are simply settling, and how to know if you asking way too much of someone.
This pod explores:
How to know if you want something for your relationship that just isn’t “realistic”
How to know what needs must be met by your partner versus another method
Why so many people choose to “settle” versus wait for a true soulmate connection
How to get clear about your personal relationship expectations and take a strong stand for them

TThe perspective or feeling of “not being enough” is perhaps one of the most common sentiments for those desiring confidence and happiness. Our self-worth will permeate and affect every single area of our lives from intimate partnerships to workplace environments, our relationships to our bodies to how we feel about our parenting. Feeling “not enough” will have us play small by accepting sub-par relationships, often returning to the same self-defeating patterns, and affects what we choose to “settle” for in all of our relationships. The great news is YOU get to define your worthiness, no one else, so have a listen to this episode and instantly change your perspective on self-worth.
This pod explores:
How our self-worth permeates every area of our lives
The rules we create about self-worth
Where to our ideas of worthiness comes from
How to shift your perspective around your worthiness

IIf you are a busy professional, student, or parent (or a blend), you surely know the slippery slope of being so caught up in your “to-do’s” that you easily lose sight of taking care of yourself. First, the workouts may slip, then maybe grabbing shit food instead of fueling your body correctly, then perhaps passing up fun social engagements, and one day you wake up and realize that your health is waning, your relationships aren’t stronger, and you’re working your ass off for… for what? For what exactly? To stay afloat? To be a kick-ass parent? To look great on paper? You are a better parent, employer, employee, student, wife, brother, EVERYTHING, if you make time to take care of yourself. Regularly. Often. Weekly. In this episode, Amy covers 4 self-care MUST-KNOWS to create a rich, joyful life… So you can be better for yourself… and in turn, better for others.
This pod explores:
What valuing your physical self really looks like
What taking care of your mind has to do with self-care

I just got back from an incredible experience with 22 other powerful women and I’ve been re-inspired and reminded of the life I CHOOSE to live. Along with two dear colleagues, I took a group of brave women on a cruise of a lifetime to re-create the women they desire to be in the world. It got me thinking much about a concept I have termed the Mediocrity Epidemic.
The Mediocrity Epidemic is something I think many of us are familiar with; Simply put, it’s living the life that is just “ok”. Nothing is really awful… But it’s sure not blissful. Perhaps it’s the dulling marriage or the dead-end job… Maybe it’s the lack of a thriving group of like-minded friends… or insufficient health you simply tolerate. Or, maybe things look great outwardly, but you struggle with truly finding happiness. Perhaps your relationship to YOU is the biggest struggle. The problem with this Mediocrity Epidemic is you can live with it forever. Mediocrity is tricky in the sense that it is rarely painful enough to spark change. It’s tolerable. And, for that reason, many people inadvertently choose it as a way of being… for a lifetime.
Change is what happens when it becomes too painful to stay the same.
And, usually that takes a crisis. But, what if you didn’t wait for a crisis to make a change? What if you tasted and relished every day of your life with a sense of ALIVENESS? Damn, that would be amazing, right? Here’s the place I think we get stuck. We don’t think it exists. We think, “Well, ‘good enough’ I can count on, so let’s just settle.” Perhaps you’ve found yourself in the same boat. One of my previous clients, Kathryn, felt like a life of aliveness wasn’t really possible and then completely proved herself wrong. Another dear client, Jasmine, felt the same. She also changed her life.
What shifted? They accessed the tools to change.
Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen a catchy Facebook or Instagram meme and thought, “That’s amazing. But, how the hell am I supposed to do that?” Maybe it’s about people-pleasing, working with fear, or changing your self-talk. Yeah, you aren’t alone. I am often baffled that we teach math, science, and physical education in schools, but NOWHERE do we teach children how to speak kindly to themselves, establish boundaries, and cultivate confidence. So, if these things don’t come easy, cut yourself some slack.
Here’s the good news. You absolutely, without a doubt, have the ability to live a life of radical joy and self-love and acceptance. Now. You are capable. Already. There is nothing wrong with you. You aren’t broken. And, you absolutely deserve more than mediocre. You deserve ALIVENESS.
The simple gateway from where you are now to the life you desire is your skill set. That’s it. Simply put, you just haven’t LEARNED all the skills and tools you need to dramatically change how you feel about yourself and in turn, create the life you deeply desire. You think Kathryn and Jasmine had any idea how to access their personal power? Or establish boundaries? Or find their confidence? Of course not! They simply LEARNED. And, implemented. And, everything changed. Everything.
Both these courageous women (and countless others) have worked through my Deep, Down, + Dirty one-on-one coaching program. The Deep, Down, + Dirty Program is my one-on-one coaching emersion, which walks you through a 12-week process to uncover and access radical self-love, worthiness, and self-acceptance. You’ll learn what it means to truly live life on YOUR TERMS and happiness will no longer be a dream. It will be your reality.
Because this guided coaching method is one-on-one, I am very limited to the amount of clients I am able to take on. Currently, I have 2 (maybe 3) openings and I would love to invite you to jump on the phone with me, if you feel this may be the skill set you need. Again, space is extremely limited, so if you feel the pull, let’s do this.
Regardless if one-on-one work is in the cards for us at them moment or not, I hope you know you are wildly WORTHY. Of aliveness. Of anything and everything your heart desires.
EEver find yourself saying, “As soon as I get a new job, then I’ll be happy” or “If I could just shed this extra weight, then I’ll really start living” or something similar? For many of us, we take the goals we want to achieve and collapse them with our self worth. When we do this, we allow ourselves to stay in a place of self-loathing UNTIL we accomplish our goals instead of allowing ourselves self-love through the journey. If you aren’t crazy about your current set of circumstances and you know it’s dramatically affecting your self-worth, this episode is just what you need. This pod explores:
How to figure out what meaning you’ve assigned to your goals
How to love yourself NOW, even if you are unhappy in your current situation
How to make your goals 100% in service of YOU
Self-talk tips to support your new relationship to the things you want to change in your life
