The benefit of being an introvert is the deep thinking. The negative side of that is sometimes we do deep thinking on things that are not very helpful to us. – Jennifer MarcouClick To Tweet Extroverts are thinking and speaking at the same time. Introverts wait to speak up because they want to think about it first.Click To Tweet The fact that you’re quiet can seem as a weakness as a leader. But the reality is that quietness enables you to think, allows you to listen, and allows you to observe, and those are all super important as a leader.

I’m sure you have noticed by now that we are living in a world where we are being sold a bill of goods called “more and faster equals better.”We are being told that we can use AI to do things faster and more efficiently… but at what expense? We are even being told that we can use it to replace our own voice and to clone ourselves on the internet. This is a slippery slope, if you ask me. What drives me crazy more than anything is every single time I hear somebody say, “If you don’t get up to speed with all of these new AI tools, you will be left behind.” First of all, nobody has the ability to predict the future. So if somebody is telling you that you are going to be left behind, run for the hills. Nobody knows what the future holds. And using fear tactics like this to sell people stuff is not cool anyway.And if sabotaging my authenticity means ‘getting left behind’, then leave me behind, please. My take on who’s going to be left behind is much different. I believe, in a world where there’s so much artificial content being generated, that the people who are willing to be real are going to be the last ones standing. Not to mention, they are the ones that are going to leave a real legacy. In this episode, I go into more detail about my thoughts on this topic. I realize it’s very controversial, and I’m okay with that. I feel like some of this stuff just needs to be said so that people aren’t misled into thinking that they have to use artificial intelligence instead of doing the thinking on their own, with their own real intelligence and using their own minds, their own hearts, and their own creativity to put their work out into the world.Just because you can use AI to write your content for you, doesn’t mean you have to or that you should. You’re not fooling anybody and content without any heart and soul doesn’t land the same way, doesn’t serve your audience the same way, and it all sounds the same- like a Wikipedia article. If anyone was to ask me what my biggest ‘secret’ to success is, I would say it’s that I am willing to take my time. I’m not in a rush. I like to use my mind to create from my heart (without anything artificial thrown into the mix), because my audience is worth it and so is my voice.Enjoy the episode and feel free to leave me your thoughts about this conversation, whether you agree with me or not.

I hit a big milestone in my business a couple of weeks ago. Exactly 2 weeks ago actually. It’s crazy because it was a goal I’ve had for a while, and it’s a big deal to me, and a huge honor…. and yet I couldn’t find the emotional bandwidth to really celebrate it when it happened. The day before it happened, I woke up to find out that one of my closest friends had been killed in a motorcycle accident. He was my go-to, and he probably would have been the first person to celebrate this milestone with me. So, when it happened and he wasn’t there, it caused a big pit in my stomach, an enormous wave of grief, and I also had the happy feelings associated with the milestone all at the same time. I felt like my heart was going to explode because I wasn’t sure what to feel. The other day, my friend Robin reached out to me to congratulate me on this accomplishment. She had heard the company owners mention it on one of our masterminds.She said, “Have you been celebrating it? I haven’t seen you talking about it anywhere.” That’s when I realized I hadn’t been able to give it the celebration that it deserves. I am a huge believer in taking the time to celebrate all of our wins, big and small, along the way on our journeys… and I was not doing that. Robin’s message was a wake up call for me. My friend Gio had also reached out to me right after it happened, to congratulate me and to also ask a few questions about my journey in getting here. Our conversation contained a lot of really good insights about the way I build my business, and a lot of the differences between the way I do it and the things I believe in that are much different than the way some others build their businesses and work toward their goals. So, I thought I’d share some of those thoughts with you in today’s episode, in case they may help someone else.(** Warning: my approach might be a little too woo-woo for some people… so just take what you want and leave the rest.)

Happy New Year… I hope your year is off to a great start. I love the energy of a new year, the feeling of a fresh start, a blank canvas. As I’ve been setting my intentions for the new year, I’ve also been having to make some big decisions in my life. One of my secret weapons when it comes to decision making is automatic writing. I’m a huge believer in trusting your gut and listening to your heart and following your intuition. And, although I’ve gotten better at this over the years as I’ve worked on it, sometimes I still feel a little conflicted or unclear and I need a little help. That’s where automatic writing comes in. Automatic writing, for me, is a practice that allows me to call on my guides, angels, and ancestors for help when I need it. And it always, without fail, blows me away how clear I feel after I do it. In this episode, I will walk you through an example of my automatic writing practice. I’ll show you exactly what I did to get help with a big decision that I had to make recently. I started off feeling unclear, and came out of the exercise feeling completely confident and sure… which, as I said, is very typical for me when I implement automatic writing. Enjoy the episode and I hope this helps you to get some clarity on any big decisions you have coming up in your life. And, if you are already using automatic writing, I’d love to hear a bit about your practice and how you use it. I love you, and please remember that I’m here to help, always. If any questions come up for you as you listen, feel free to ask them. I’m happy to answer.Enjoy the episode!With love and gratitude, Amy Please make sure you subscribe to the podcast (this way you can listen from anywhere) and leave me a review!

In this episode, I am joined by Angela Jean. Angela is a Resilience Architect who helps people heal by realigning their nervous system’s frequency.After living through an enormous amount of trauma in her young life, she healed herself through some processes that she created herself, and that she now uses to help others heal and transform. During our conversation, Angela shared a lot about her journey and how losing her father and sister both to suicide catapulted her into her own spiritual awakening. She spoke about how her journey began once she as able to fully surrender to it. She shared a lot about her work and how we are the healers, that we don’t need anything externally in order to heal, that we just need to train everything in the right direction. She shared about how everything that we want in our lives is on the other side of playing it safe.She also spoke on the topics of what our brain is doing when we are overthinking, why all breath work is not created equally, and how to stay high vibe in today’s chaotic world.If you are wanting to master your own inner authority, and to move past the fear that keeps you playing safe and living scared and unfulfilled, this episode will help you.Enjoy the episode! We are who we train to be, but we are all training in the wrong direction. – Angela JeanClick To Tweet Every single decision we make is moving us either toward the life we want or the life we are comfortable in because it feels safe. We can move toward the fear and the discomfort and stop making excuses to feel safe.Click To Tweet The only reason something feels safe is because it’s known, it’s familiar, not because it’s better. So much of what we want, what we crave, what we desire, what we dream, is in the unknown.Click To Tweet The unknown is where all of our dreams can unfold. It’s where we can build what we want because it’s not built on the programs that have been built in us from our childhood.Click To TweetAs long as your nervous system locks up, all you are training is protection. You are training protection instead of possibilities. We are always training in the background, whether we know it or not.Click To TweetEverything we want is on the other side of playing it safe.Click To TweetYou have to decide who you are because, if you don’t, this world will decide for you.Click To TweetWe are the healers.

All we have to do is train everything in the right direction.Click To TweetWe’ve spent most of our lives training in the wrong direction, believing non-truths, allowing imprints to guide us, living and loving from the wound.Click To Tweet Quotes From This Episode The journey began when I was in full surrender.

After losing her father and sister to suicide in her youth, she decoded her own body’s survival instincts—the silence and hypervigilance — and turned them into a science of self-reclamation. Her mantra, “You are who you train to be,” fuels a practical method that bypasses empty theory. By blending rhythm, micro-movements, and nervous system wisdom, she guides clients to rewrite subconscious patterns at their roots. This isn’t healing through talk, but through visceral, somatic truth.Angela teaches that since the body learned danger first, it must also lead the way back to safety and strength. Her work replaces survival reflexes with unshakable self-belief, offering embodiment alignment and inner authority—no performative healing, just profound, lasting change.

Your emotional intelligence can affect all of the discerning choices you need to make about all of the other major aspects of your life.

For me, the most important ingredient in being here is to know thy self. To know thy self is to know all of reality. You don’t have to go through a pain event to want to examine your life, but that’s usually what it takes, because it takes direct experience for most people to want to change something. But when you take the time to examine your life and tap into that consciousness, now you’re living a life of destiny, one that you’ve chosen, one that wasn’t fated to you. It’s because we’ve become disconnected from God that we are having this issue with money.
