  • Thinking About Thinking About It: The Most Important Step Nobody Talks About

    Thinking About Thinking About It: The Most Important Step Nobody Talks About
    May 11 2026
    Before the big change. Before the decision. Before the action plan. There is a stage that most people skip right over — or beat themselves up for being stuck in. It's called thinking about thinking about it, and it might just be the bravest place you can be. This week Amy gets real about what it means to crack the door open on something you've been avoiding — not to fix it, not to overhaul your life, but just to notice it. To let the truth come a little closer. If you've ever heard the same loving feedback from the people in your life over and over and kept dismissing it, or if there's an area of your life that has friction you keep calling "fine" — this episode is going to feel uncomfortably familiar in the best possible way. No shame, no pressure, no ten-step plan. Just honest, compassionate awareness — and why that alone is enough to count as a beginning.

  • Jack and the Beanstalk: What New Beginnings Actually Look Like

    Jack and the Beanstalk: What New Beginnings Actually Look Like
    May 4 2026
    May is here and we are talking about new beginnings — but not the Instagram-worthy, perfectly curated kind. The real kind. The messy, uncomfortable, uncertain kind that happens before you feel ready and before you know how it's going to turn out. Amy kicks off the month with one of the best metaphors for change you've probably never considered — Jack and his magic beans — and why throwing something into the ground before you know what will grow takes more courage than we give ourselves credit for. This episode is your gentle nudge to stop waiting until you feel ready and start paying attention to what's already stirring. If something in your life feels too tight, too old, or just plain outgrown, this one is for you. Coaching questions included to help you figure out where your next beginning might already be trying to get your attention.

  • Everything Is Okay: Spirituality, Fear, and Choosing From a Sturdy Place

    Everything Is Okay: Spirituality, Fear, and Choosing From a Sturdy Place
    Apr 27 2026
    What if — even in the middle of the hard stuff — you had a deep, unshakeable sense that everything was okay? Not denial. Not toxic positivity. Just a steady, practiced trust that you are okay and you can choose. Amy wraps up the month of spirituality by sharing her upcoming eleven-day pilgrimage in Portugal and exploring what it looks like to infuse new passion into a spiritual practice that has gone a little ho-hum. She also makes the case for why fear is never a sustainable motivator — and what spirituality has to do with finally choosing from a place of power instead of panic. A rich, grounding closer to a month well spent. Connect with Amy here! #HealthyAF #SpiritualGrowth #TrustTheProcess #ChooseWithGrace

    You Can't Pull It Out If You Don't Practice It: Spirituality on the Daily
    Apr 20 2026
    Feeling spiritually connected on a good Sunday morning is one thing. Pulling out that presence when your kid says something that makes your eye twitch — that's another thing entirely. Amy brings her book club into the conversation this week, exploring how the practice of deep listening is actually a spiritual practice, and what it looks like to build a daily spiritual habit so it's available when life gets loud. Plus — God cookies. Yes, really. If you've ever felt like spirituality is something you relate to but don't actually use, this episode will change that.

    Grace Is a Strategy: Spirituality and the One Change You Can't Seem to Make
    Apr 13 2026
    You know the thing you've been trying to change forever? The habit that feels so simple but just won't stick? Amy breaks down why one behavioral change is actually fourteen — and why pushing harder is almost never the answer. Using a real client example, she walks through how spirituality, specifically the spaciousness, love, and acceptance that come with it, can be the missing piece between white-knuckling your goals and actually sustaining them. If you've ever wondered why discipline and willpower keep letting you down, this episode is for you. Connect with Amy here! #HealthyAF #Resilience #BehaviorChange #GraceAndGrowth

    Spirituality: The Tool You Didn't Know You Were Missing
    Apr 6 2026
    We're spending all of April talking about spirituality — and not in the way you might think. Amy kicks off the month with a honest admission: the ideas for this series didn't come until they were ready to come. Sound familiar? This short but mighty opener explores why spirituality matters for behavioral change, resilience, and the kind of happiness that actually sticks. Whether you practice a faith tradition or just occasionally feel like something bigger is holding you together, this episode is your invitation to get curious. Coaching questions included to help you explore where spirituality already lives in your life — and where it might be going to waste.

  • Who Do You Think You Are? How Your Self-Concept Is Running the Show

    Who Do You Think You Are? How Your Self-Concept Is Running the Show
    Mar 30 2026
    Amy saved the best for last. In this final Motivation March episode, she introduces the most overlooked driver of sustainable motivation: your experience of yourself — the quiet story you're telling about who you are based on what you do (and don't do) every day. Through a wonderfully relatable story about a neighbor, a grocery store, and an unkept promise, Amy shows how the tiniest behaviors are either building you up or quietly chipping away at your confidence. She shares the coaching questions she uses with her clients to crack this wide open — and why having someone in your corner who loves you enough to be honest is where the real transformation lives.
