Amy shares her journey from chronic endometriosis sufferer to holistic self-improvement coach, revealing how viewing our bodies and lives as interconnected systems creates lasting positive change.
• Everything in our lives affects everything else—health, relationships, work, and personal growth are all interconnected
• Self-belief (what we feel capable of achieving) and self-worth (what we believe we deserve) form the foundation of any successful personal transformation
• The pyramid of self-worth: keeping promises to yourself, setting healthy boundaries, exercising courage, investing in yourself daily, and practicing healthy comparison
• Gratitude practice shifts us from scarcity to abundance mindset and primes our brain to notice more positive aspects of life
• Small, consistent 1% improvements compound over time and are more effective than sporadic perfectionism
• Boundaries dictate your behavior, not others' actions—focus on what you will do, not what others should do
• Your "100%" looks different every day—give yourself permission to show up with whatever capacity you have

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome back to the next episode of
Overcome Yourself, the podcast.
As you know, my name is Nicoleand I'm so excited to be here
today with Amy.
Now, amy is a coach and take itaway because you do a lot of
different things and I know youhave some certifications.
So, amy, please introduceyourself and tell us who you are
and who you help.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, my goodness, thank you so much, nicole.
I'm so excited to be here.
So I currently am a holisticself-improvement coach and that
has been probably my favoriterole to date, outside of
motherhood and all of thosebeautiful things but career-wise
, holistic self-improvement hasbeen genuinely one of the
biggest blessings in my life tobe able to help people in a way
(00:45):
that is holistic.
So I fell in love with the wordholistic, meaning everything
affects everything else.
So, as much as we would love toseparate our love life from our
work life from our parent lifeand all of those things, they
all affect one another, and sothat's what holistic means.
And I actually fell in lovewith that word when I was on a
health journey.
So I grew up with chronicillness.
(01:06):
I grew up with endometriosisand that's a I mean, it's a
whole book that we could openbut it's a chronic inflammatory
disease that is female related,and it was genuinely devastating
for a lot of my life.
I was in chronic pain all thetime.
I had gone through surgeries,medications, hormone therapies
(01:31):
and all of these crazy things,but what really helped me begin
to heal and become pain-free wasembodying the fact that
everything is affectingeverything else.
And when I would go and seedoctors.
They would just want to talk tome about one part oh, how's
your uterus doing?
And it was like, okay, when Ifinally saw a doctor who was a
naturopath, he said well, whatabout your gut health?
What about your liver?
What about your stress?
(01:51):
How is your sleep?
And that, combined with my ownI have a background in anatomy
and physiology myself justreally helped me piece together
all of these beautiful pieces,and so I started looking at my
internal environment as acommunity, not just separate
pieces.
And so I started looking at myinternal environment as a
community, not just separatepieces.
And then I extended thatfurther into okay, how is my
external environment infectingmy internal environment and vice
(02:12):
versa, and that expanded evenmore.
So through that I was able tonot only become pain-free, but I
stepped into speaking intowomen's health as a public
speaker, as I got to do all ofthese beautiful things.
But that led me to creating myown program, which led me to
helping even more women.
But even as I was speaking intothese women's lives, I saw that
(02:33):
there was still a piece missing.
As much as they loved learningabout their bodies and hearing
what I have to say, it was moreabout me sounding good and
sounding really smart ratherthan being good and being able
to help these women to thedeepest level, and that's where
more was needed, more holisticwas needed.
And so when I started tappinginto self-improvement and more
(02:57):
mental health and, yes, I alwaysaddress stress Stress was the
biggest actually component of myprogram for women because it
affects your hormones so much.
But I started working with Kevinand Alan at Next Level
University, I was like, oh, hereis how I'm going to expand, how
I help people, because Istarted to learn about
self-belief and self-worth andfulfillment and all of these
(03:19):
different pillars that I can seeshow up as a positive or a
detriment in any journey thatanyone is on whether it be
health, monetary, success,relationships and so I started
to kind of deep dive in withthese guys.
Initially they brought me on astheir MC for their live events
because they saw I was a publicspeaker and it just proliferated
from there.
So now I am assistant coach anddirector of group coaching at
(03:43):
Next Level University.
I have my own coaching programHolistic Self-Improvement
through them, and we do just alot of other daily
self-improvement things behindthe scenes.
I run the Facebook group, we dofree book clubs, monthly
meetups and it's all kind ofcome together into where I am
now.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That is amazing, that is so cool, and I love the
journey right and how we have todo things one step at a time,
like you couldn't jump fromwhere you were in pain to
running what you're runningright now.
Like you had to go step by stepand as you were able to I don't
(04:24):
want to say resolve, but as youwere able to face what was
going on, put a name to it.
Then you know now that's liketaken care of as much as it can
be, right and then.
But then we can focus onsomething that's a little bit
bigger, right, and I it makes methink of my back pain.
(04:45):
So I was in a boat accident whenI was about nine years old and
then nothing happened until Iwas 21.
And I finally went to a doctorand they were like, hey, you
have a back of a disabledelderly woman, and so I thought
that I had three differentproblems.
I thought that I had shoulderpain, I had mid back pain and I
had lower back pain, but thatwasn't the case.
The lower back pain wascascading all the way up because
(05:08):
the rest of my body was tryingto support the bottom part right
.
And so I love how you talkabout how everything is
connected because it is.
So tell me a little bit aboutthat journey.
Tell me a little bit more aboutthat connectedness.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, so let's go.
So I used to give apresentation at events called
Holistic Healing for yourHormones and women would love
what I had to say.
They felt so seen talking abouttheir hormones, talking about
their cycles, things they didn'tknow, struggles that they had
that they could connect otherwomen with, because I think we
feel really alone in thosethings sometimes, when in
(05:45):
reality, like nine out of 10 oreight out of 10 women on average
suffer with one of these thingsrelated to their hormones, and
then they would do really wellwith the principles I had given
them for a little while, butthey would kind of just fall
away and they wouldn't keepimplementing it into their lives
or they felt the need to juststop, or however it was.
(06:05):
Whatever their story was, and Ikept going back to why is that?
What is going on here?
I'm missing something, becausein the beginning it's really
really powerful for them andthey're really really motivated.
But what's the underlying thingwhen we stop and aren't
motivated to continue to dohabits and goals and all of
those other things?
(06:26):
And it came down to I was nottapping into their individual
level of self-belief andself-worth.
So self-belief is what we feelwe're capable of achieving in
the external world andself-worth is what we believe
we're worthy of internally.
And those two can butt heads alittle bit sometimes, but
they're two of the biggestpillars that, through all of my
coaching, everyone that I haveworked with, all the women that
(06:48):
I have worked with, I can seewhere those two are either
supporting them or they need alot of work to support their
journey, any journey but we'llstick to health.
And so they didn't believe itwas possible for them.
So they've seen that it waspossible for someone else, but
they didn't believe it waspossible for them or that it
would be worth it.
And so those things reallymatter.
(07:09):
When I ask you, oh, do youbelieve this thing is possible,
someone's going to say, oh, yes,do you believe it's possible
for you?
That hits a little differently,and if the answer is no, then
that's the first barrier rightthere.
And then convincing someonethat it is worth it.
It is worth it to besustainable and consistent
long-term.
I know we would all love thisquick, sexy fix that is, oh, be
(07:32):
pain-free in 10 days or whateverit is.
Whatever that toxic positivityslogan, marketing comes your way
, but unfortunately it's along-term game a lot of goals
and a lot of journeys, and sowhen we can have small,
sustainable success, that helpsnot only build self-worth but
pours into our self-belief or,yes, belief as well, and so that
(07:53):
was the first thing that neededto be addressed.
And then self-worth If we don'tbelieve we're actually worthy
of feeling healthy and feelinggood, that is going to create a
glass ceiling as well, and Iknow that sounds ridiculous.
Logically, right here we'relike well, of course I'm worthy
of feeling healthy who isn't?
But there's this part runningin the back of our brain that
actually deeply believes that weare not worthy of being healthy
(08:15):
and thriving, and so assessingthat level as well and bringing
those components into anyone'sjourney that they are on has
genuinely been life-changing towitness, not only in my own
journey, but to help otherpeople.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, um, yes, yes.
There's just so many thoughtsbecause it is so true.
Learning to make trust depositsis what I call them, and so
it's learning to do these littlethings, learning to trust
yourself again.
Doing something small, likewriting down and we're going to
talk about gratitude in a secondbut writing down three things
(08:52):
you're grateful for, that's likea starting place right.
Things you're grateful for,that's like a starting place,
right.
And then something that helps me, that has helped me, is
reminding myself that future meis going to be really grateful
that I did the thing now, right,and so you know that that helps
me a lot too, cause then I getto the future and I'll see that
the thing is done and I'll belike pass me, like thank you,
(09:13):
right.
And so that's been reallyhelpful to me with like let's do
it now instead of putting itoff later, because future, you,
future is going to be likefuture is going to come back.
You're not going to want to dothe dishes, like you know, let's
, let's do it now.
And then, when I get to thefuture, right, I still think
past me, and so it's it's stilllike this, this cycle of
gratitude, right, but that'swhat I wanted to ask you next
(09:35):
Could you talk to me a littlebit about the role that
gratitude plays in this pictureof like self-worth right?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Absolutely.
First of all, I love that lensthat you use past me, now me,
future me oh, I love that somuch.
I do that too Like, oh, futureme is going to hate myself if I
don't do this, and then you'rein the future.
You're in that now, presentmoment and you're like, damn it,
past me.
But even that, even recognizinghey, I would have done better
(10:07):
if I had done this previously.
That's the first step, right,that's the awareness.
And the next time you're goingto be like, oh, I was kicking
myself last time that I didn'tdo this.
Future me is going to be sohappy about this, and so I love
that lens.
That's a really powerful lensto start looking at life through
.
I love that so much.
So gratitude is actuallysomething that's really
important.
In my house we all have a dailygratitude practice, even my boys
(10:27):
I homeschool, and my boys havea gratitude journal and cute
little they're like made forkids.
It's so sweet and we all writein them every day.
For me, gratitude keeps me in astate of abundance rather than
scarcity.
It's really easy to get into aspace of lack and scarcity,
especially nowadays.
I mean prices of everything aregoing up, like there's so much
(10:48):
to feel scarce about.
But when you can have agratitude practice, it really
does help you stay in anabundance state, and especially
if you can learn to bring it infrom like a 24 hour perspective.
What am I so grateful for?
That happened in the last 24hours, and I love this tool
because it primes our RAS, ourreticular activating system, in
our brain.
It primes it knowing that weare going to do gratitude every
(11:11):
day.
Your brain's like, oh, you areinterested in this.
I'm going to show you more ofthis, because I know you're
going to want to write it downtomorrow.
And so you start just seeingmore things you're grateful for,
not just the three things thatyou write down in the morning or
in the evening.
However, that works for you andso, yeah, I deeply love
gratitude.
It is.
It's, I think it's one of thedeepest forms of self-love as
well, which does tap intoself-worth and, of course, if
(11:35):
you can do it every day in asustainable way.
So, like 10 things might be toomuch.
One thing kind of doesn't seemlike it's worth it.
So I always recommend three tofive, and if you can keep that
up every day, then you're alsogoing to tap into building
self-belief as well, becauseyou're keeping a promise that
you make to yourself yeah,that's the, that's the trust
deposit and um and future mething.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
By the way, I call that leaving surprises for
myself, because I'll do it andthen I'll forget, and then I
come back and I'm like, oh myGod, it's done.
Like you're, when you have soso many things, um, and so that
(12:20):
that just really helps, hashelped me, like, just stay in
the game and, you know, stay onthings, make it kind of fun so
that I'm not like yelling atmyself all the time, right, and
so, yes, I love that um.
So talk to me a little bit moreabout um, your certifications,
because you do certifications.
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh, I mean which one?
My own personal certificationsthat I have done throughout time
.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, you work with Next Level University right, so
like you help people getcertified in things, so can you
tell me a little bit about that?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh we.
So I mean the main thing we doright now is we graduate people
through group coaching.
That's kind of the main thing.
We are slowly working onbringing out a coaching program
for coaches to create holisticself-improvement coaches, so
that's, I mean, really exciting,but it's more that's definitely
future orientated, for sure.
Right now our biggest focus forexternal people outside of the
(13:17):
team is group coaching, and sowe take every quarter, because
it takes 12 weeks to go throughgroup coaching.
We bring on 10 new people.
We only take 10 because we likeit to be extremely intimate so
we can make sure we get to knoweverybody and help everybody,
not only as a group but as theindividual as well.
And originally it started asholistic self-improvement.
(13:37):
So we went through six modules,all focused on health, wealth,
life and love.
Quality of life was a big one,but you're learning about
fulfillment, self-worth,self-belief, all of these really
beautiful things.
But what Next Level Universityalso does is they have this
whole podcasting section of thebusiness and so, like the guys
have a daily podcast, next LevelUniversity is a daily podcast.
(13:57):
They have a podcast that comesout every day, and we now work
with a lot of podcasters.
They produce podcasts andthere's this whole section of
the business.
And so what we've started doingfor the last two rounds of
group coaching is we've actuallygotten all podcasters come in
and that's been really neat, sowe've actually shifted the
program for them.
And so we actually do holisticself-improvement for the first
(14:19):
two sessions, and then the nexttwo it's grow your podcast, and
then the next two are grow yourbusiness.
So grow yourself, grow yourpodcast, grow your business.
Because in the future we reallywant to have three levels of
group coaching.
We want it to be holisticself-improvement over here, we
want you to have podcastinggroup coaching over here and
business group coaching overhere.
And it's kind of Kevin, alanand myself we're kind of all
(14:40):
putting our flag in these threecorners of this whole business,
and so that's something thatwe're really excited about to
look forward to as well.
But me being a holisticself-improvement coach has been
working very closely with Alanhimself, the CEO of Next
University, and coming in frompast coaching, that I've done
myself as well.
But yeah, so there's a few I'vedone.
(15:01):
I mean acceptance andcommitment.
Therapy I have my certificationand diploma in registered
massage therapy.
That's the anatomy andphysiology background there.
There's a bunch of things.
I was a doula at some point Idid like my doula certification
and I'm always really stuck withhelping women In my practice
things.
I was a doula at some point, Idid like my doula certification
and I'm always really stuck withhelping women in my practice.
When I was practicing I did alot of pre and postnatal care
(15:23):
for women and pelvic balancing,and so it's always been this,
this obsession with helpingwomen grow and expand and learn.
And when I found I lovededucating more than I loved
treating, that's when it allkind of shifted into different
things.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh, that is amazing and that's that is just like a
next level thing, right?
Because then you get to sharewhat you do with someone else
and you get to impact so manymore people through other people
.
That is amazing.
So talk to me a little bitabout when you're coaching your
clients.
We're working on our self-worth.
What are some of the big tipsthat you have for them?
Like what you know?
What can you recommend for ourlisteners?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Good question.
So we have a framework and it'sa simple pyramid If you can
picture a pyramid in your mindand then it goes from the bottom
to the top.
We always want to build a solidfoundation, and so the
beginning, the bottom foundationof the pyramid in this
framework is keeping thepromises you make to yourself,
which is really beautiful, asyou have just said, in so many
(16:22):
different, amazing ways.
I love your perspective on that.
By the way, it's connected verydeeply to self-belief.
So those two frameworks connectat the bottom, or keeping the
promises you make to yourself isthe bottom.
The next one is boundarieslearning to hold healthy
boundaries and what I find ispeople get really upset that
(16:42):
their boundaries are not beingrespected and they're not being
listened to.
And oh, I put a boundary outthere, but someone didn't listen
to me.
They're not honoring myboundary.
The biggest mistake people makewhen they're setting boundaries
is they're actually settingrules instead of boundaries.
There's a subtle difference andso rules dictate other people.
So if I'm in an argument withsomeone, let's say I don't want
(17:03):
to be in an argument.
Let's say we're in a healthydisagreement, and they start
elevating their voice, or maybethey start calling me names.
Me.
Setting a rule would be hey,you can't talk to me like that,
knock it off.
In reality, they kind of stillcan.
I can't control what comes outof their mouth, right?
So the boundary would actuallybe hey, if you continue to speak
(17:24):
to me this way, I am going tochoose to leave this
conversation.
Boundaries dictate yourbehavior, and that's just you
expressing what is going tohappen if someone keeps
interacting with you in anunaligned way, and so there's a
subtle difference there.
So, instead of trying tocontrol other people because we
really can't we can haveinfluence over people sometimes,
but we can't actually controlthem, and so how can you work on
(17:46):
having more control over whatis aligned with you and how
you're going to interact in thatspace?
That helps build self-worth.
The next one is courage,especially social courage.
So being who you are, what youwant to say, doing what you want
to do those two, the boundariesand the social courage, go
(18:07):
really hand in hand, and if youstruggle with social courage,
then boundaries are going to bereally challenging for you, but
they are both very important forbuilding self worth.
So how can you learn to be alittle more authentically
yourself over and over again andspeak your truth and again,
baby steps.
In all of this, we always wantto expand out of our comfort
zone, but only slightly into ourgrowth zone.
We don't want to step into theanxiety zone and slingshot
ourselves back into our littlecomfort zone and convince
(18:29):
ourselves that this is not forus out here.
And so that's the third layer.
The next one is investing inyourself, and I think people
also, when they hear this, theythink, oh, it would be so nice
if I could invest in myself,spend thousands of dollars on a
program, go on a ladies weekend,whatever it is.
No, I mean yes, if you can dothat, absolutely Go nuts, but
(18:50):
it's daily.
How are you investing inyourself every day?
And it doesn't have to bemonetary.
So someone listening to thispodcast right now, that's them
investing in themselves.
That's them putting time andenergy into listening to
something really beautiful thatcould shift even just a small
perspective in their day.
So how can you invest inyourself a little bit every day?
(19:10):
That's a sustainable way.
Like me, I love making myself areally aligned tea every day.
I have lots of teas throughoutthe day but, I, make sure that
one is very specific.
What mug am I using?
What herbs am I using?
What does my body need rightnow?
How am I going to sit and enjoythis and have it while it's hot
, instead of heating it up sixtimes?
That's me having a moment toinvest in myself.
(19:32):
Maybe it's a couple extraminutes in the shower, maybe
it's.
However it is.
You're listening to an audiobook.
You're taking a moment tolisten to your favorite music
and dance around a little bitLike it doesn't have to be these
big, elaborate things, but it'sa deposit you want to make
every day.
And then the last one tip of theiceberg, there tip of the
pyramid is comparison.
What is your relationship withcomparison?
(19:54):
Is it for inspiration or is itdetrimental to you?
So a lot of us are comparing toothers in a detrimental way.
We can use comparison in asuper healthy, inspiring way,
but most of us are doing itdetrimentally.
So how can we look at someoneand be inspired by them?
Who can we be comparingourselves to in a healthy way?
(20:14):
I love using fitness as anexample.
So if I'm on Instagram and I'mlooking at someone who's 20
years old 21 years old, wholives in the city.
She's got a gym in her basement, she has no kids, her job is
whatever else it is, and shegets to go spend three hours in
the morning at the gym crushingher morning routine and all
these other things.
And I look at her and be likeman, I should be doing that, I
(20:36):
suck because I can't.
I don't do that and it's likewell one.
I'm almost 40.
I homeschool my children.
We live on a dirt road in asmall town that actually doesn't
even have a gym.
I'd have to go 45 minutes toget to the closest gym.
So this is not someone I shouldbe comparing to.
Now, if I see someone onInstagram who is also pushing 40
(20:59):
, who has children or ishomeschooling her children and
still manages to stay fit andhonor her body with movement
every day, that is someone I canbe inspired by and look up to
in a way.
So are you comparing apples toapples?
We call it equal comparisonSomeone who is ahead of you in a
way that feels really excitingand inspiring to you.
Or are you comparing apples tofrigging broccoli?
(21:20):
And it's just not even the same?
What are we doing?
It's detrimental.
That is the pyramid ofself-worth, and if you can try
and tap into each one of thosethings not at once.
It's not sustainable to changefive things all at once.
But going back and looking atwhat I just said, which one are
you already excellent at?
So keep thriving in that one?
(21:41):
Don't pay too much attention toit, you're already doing it.
And then, which one do you seeout of those five that needs the
most work and how can you makelike 1% improvement towards that
so that it's sustainable eachday?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I love that, I love that so much.
And, you know, I want toremember, like the big domino,
like what you just said is let'sgo to the one that's going to
have the most impact, right, solike, if you're right, like you
can't go to the top of thepyramid if your self-worth is
not currently available, likeit's not going to work.
(22:13):
And so, yeah, finding the bigdomino.
But once we make that shift andonce we you know we we topple
down that big domino, um, like,the change that happens is like
you can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Like it is the only way to make lasting change is
genuinely through leveraging thecompound effect, which you need
to do.
It's like that small thingevery day.
It's that saying seven applesone apple a day is better than
seven apples on Sunday.
That is so true for so manythings.
So how can we have the humility, the accurate self-awareness to
(22:49):
do something that is so smallto start, so that it is
sustainable and we can buildself-belief and self-trust by
starting small and doingsomething every day, trusting
that you can build on it as youneed to.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes, I was going to mention the 1% improvements that
you mentioned.
Every day, like, when wecompare, we just compare, like,
did I do 1% better thanyesterday?
Then that's a win and I thinkthat's a big deal because, like
you said, baby steps, you know,and if you do something every
single day, if you record apodcast episode every single day
(23:23):
, you end the year, like exactlyto your point, with 365
episodes.
If you take a few days off, 350episodes.
That's still a heck of a lot ofepisodes, right?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And what that's going to mean is you're compounding
the skill You're getting thereps in.
So even on the days of whereyou're not feeling your best,
let's say, you only have like30% to give to your podcast that
you're committing to do everyday Maybe it's like a quick
10-minute podcast or somethingevery day and you're committed
to doing it.
Well you know what?
Now you're committed to doingit.
Well you know what.
Now you're 30%.
(23:56):
After those 365 reps, your 30%is better than your 100% at the
beginning.
So that's the beauty of thecompound effect you can show up
and do better than when youstarted, even if you're not
feeling your best or not feelingthat energetically, however
that looks, because our 100%genuinely looks different every
(24:17):
day.
It really does, Especially aswomen.
Our energies fluctuate, oureven our abilities to articulate
and connect with other peoplefluctuates with our cycle.
We're just so different day today and so learning to trust
that, even if not even trust,giving ourselves the permission
and the grace to show up with,okay, I only actually have 40%
(24:37):
to give today, but I'm going togive 100% of that 40% and be
okay with that, so your 100%doesn't have to be the same
every day.
That perspective actuallyreally helped me let go of that
perfectionism mindset.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I love that.
I love that and I tell that tomy clients all the time.
They're like I can't put thisout because it's ugly.
And I'm like you're ugly is somuch better than what's out
there, right, like you'recomparing yourself to this
really high standard and likeit's already so good and you're
just picking out the littledetails.
(25:12):
So like, give yourself creditright.
And like you said, givingyourself grace details.
So like, give yourself creditright.
And like you said givingyourself grace Because, yeah,
you're 30% is better than thanyour 100% used to be.
Like I'm like, look how faryou've come.
Like what are you talking about?
All right, so, amy, let me knowhow can the audience stay in
touch with you?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I mean, I'm all about Facebook and Instagram.
I'm on there.
You can message me anytime,genuinely, I love talking about
this with anyone.
I do offer free connectionsessions to start.
Those are always free, and wedo have a daily self-improvement
Facebook group that anyone iswelcome in.
It's free as well, and we're inthere just posting anything
that's going to bring you moreself-awareness, motivate you
(25:54):
that 1% each day towards yourgoals, and that's just called
Next Level Nation and you havethe link for that.
So if you're looking for peoplewho are also just dedicated to
getting 1% better every day or,honestly, we're all about even
0.01% better every day it allcompounds over time, whatever
that looks like for you.
We're so celebratory of theindividual journey, and so if
(26:14):
you're just looking forlike-minded people who like to
grow just a teeny bit every day,then we would love to have you.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I love that.
That is amazing.
So be sure to check out Amyinside the group.
That sounds like so much fun.
And now, before we sign off,what is your big final juicy?
Like the tip that you give toyour clients.
That's just like therevolutionary tip.
Like give it to us.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It genuinely would be learn to build your self-worth
and self-belief, so tapping intothat pyramid that I said
earlier.
And then self-belief isgenuinely three steps.
It's just state, prove andself-assign and so say you're
going to do something, get itdone and then celebrate the fact
that you did it.
Like we said, it's not aboutperfectionism, it's not about
(27:04):
giving it 100% A lot of daysit's actually about just
checking the box.
Did you check the box?
Was it crappy?
Whatever, do it again tomorrow.
State, prove, self-assign.
That's celebratory.
So how can you increase yourself-belief and your self-worth
a little bit each day and itgenuinely will help you with any
(27:24):
journey that you are on.
Success is such an individualjourney and so whatever success
means to you health, wealth,relationships, life, anything
like that those two are going tobe pillars in that journey and
if you can learn to build thoseeach day, you're going to be
more successful.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I love that.
That is amazing.
And celebrate yes, celebrateyour wins.
That's such a big deal, yes,cause we're so good at moving
the goalposts Right and thenjust being like, well, you know,
like I was already there, butthat is what we need to
celebrate, that's what we haveto be grateful for, and so I
love that.
So thank you so much forjoining us today, amy.
This has been amazing, and wewill catch you guys next time on
(28:01):
the next episode of OvercomingYourself Podcast.
Bye, thank you, thank you.
Hello and welcome back to the next episode of
Overcome Yourself, the podcast.
As you know, my name is Nicoleand I'm so excited to be here
today with Amy.
Now, amy is a coach and take itaway because you do a lot of
different things and I know youhave some certifications.
So, amy, please introduceyourself and tell us who you are
and who you help.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, my goodness, thank you so much, nicole.
I'm so excited to be here.
So I currently am a holisticself-improvement coach and that
has been probably my favoriterole to date, outside of
motherhood and all of thosebeautiful things but career-wise
, holistic self-improvement hasbeen genuinely one of the
biggest blessings in my life tobe able to help people in a way
(00:45):
that is holistic.
So I fell in love with the wordholistic, meaning everything
affects everything else.
So, as much as we would love toseparate our love life from our
work life from our parent lifeand all of those things, they
all affect one another, and sothat's what holistic means.
And I actually fell in lovewith that word when I was on a
health journey.
So I grew up with chronicillness.
(01:06):
I grew up with endometriosisand that's a I mean, it's a
whole book that we could openbut it's a chronic inflammatory
disease that is female related,and it was genuinely devastating
for a lot of my life.
I was in chronic pain all thetime.
I had gone through surgeries,medications, hormone therapies
(01:31):
and all of these crazy things,but what really helped me begin
to heal and become pain-free wasembodying the fact that
everything is affectingeverything else.
And when I would go and seedoctors.
They would just want to talk tome about one part oh, how's
your uterus doing?
And it was like, okay, when Ifinally saw a doctor who was a
naturopath, he said well, whatabout your gut health?
What about your liver?
What about your stress?
(01:51):
How is your sleep?
And that, combined with my ownI have a background in anatomy
and physiology myself justreally helped me piece together
all of these beautiful pieces,and so I started looking at my
internal environment as acommunity, not just separate
pieces.
And so I started looking at myinternal environment as a
community, not just separatepieces.
And then I extended thatfurther into okay, how is my
external environment infectingmy internal environment and vice
(02:12):
versa, and that expanded evenmore.
So through that I was able tonot only become pain-free, but I
stepped into speaking intowomen's health as a public
speaker, as I got to do all ofthese beautiful things.
But that led me to creating myown program, which led me to
helping even more women.
But even as I was speaking intothese women's lives, I saw that
(02:33):
there was still a piece missing.
As much as they loved learningabout their bodies and hearing
what I have to say, it was moreabout me sounding good and
sounding really smart ratherthan being good and being able
to help these women to thedeepest level, and that's where
more was needed, more holisticwas needed.
And so when I started tappinginto self-improvement and more
(02:57):
mental health and, yes, I alwaysaddress stress Stress was the
biggest actually component of myprogram for women because it
affects your hormones so much.
But I started working with Kevinand Alan at Next Level
University, I was like, oh, hereis how I'm going to expand, how
I help people, because Istarted to learn about
self-belief and self-worth andfulfillment and all of these
(03:19):
different pillars that I can seeshow up as a positive or a
detriment in any journey thatanyone is on whether it be
health, monetary, success,relationships and so I started
to kind of deep dive in withthese guys.
Initially they brought me on astheir MC for their live events
because they saw I was a publicspeaker and it just proliferated
from there.
So now I am assistant coach anddirector of group coaching at
(03:43):
Next Level University.
I have my own coaching programHolistic Self-Improvement
through them, and we do just alot of other daily
self-improvement things behindthe scenes.
I run the Facebook group, we dofree book clubs, monthly
meetups and it's all kind ofcome together into where I am
now.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That is amazing, that is so cool, and I love the
journey right and how we have todo things one step at a time,
like you couldn't jump fromwhere you were in pain to
running what you're runningright now.
Like you had to go step by stepand as you were able to I don't
(04:24):
want to say resolve, but as youwere able to face what was
going on, put a name to it.
Then you know now that's liketaken care of as much as it can
be, right and then.
But then we can focus onsomething that's a little bit
bigger, right, and I it makes methink of my back pain.
(04:45):
So I was in a boat accident whenI was about nine years old and
then nothing happened until Iwas 21.
And I finally went to a doctorand they were like, hey, you
have a back of a disabledelderly woman, and so I thought
that I had three differentproblems.
I thought that I had shoulderpain, I had mid back pain and I
had lower back pain, but thatwasn't the case.
The lower back pain wascascading all the way up because
(05:08):
the rest of my body was tryingto support the bottom part right
.
And so I love how you talkabout how everything is
connected because it is.
So tell me a little bit aboutthat journey.
Tell me a little bit more aboutthat connectedness.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, so let's go.
So I used to give apresentation at events called
Holistic Healing for yourHormones and women would love
what I had to say.
They felt so seen talking abouttheir hormones, talking about
their cycles, things they didn'tknow, struggles that they had
that they could connect otherwomen with, because I think we
feel really alone in thosethings sometimes, when in
(05:45):
reality, like nine out of 10 oreight out of 10 women on average
suffer with one of these thingsrelated to their hormones, and
then they would do really wellwith the principles I had given
them for a little while, butthey would kind of just fall
away and they wouldn't keepimplementing it into their lives
or they felt the need to juststop, or however it was.
(06:05):
Whatever their story was, and Ikept going back to why is that?
What is going on here?
I'm missing something, becausein the beginning it's really
really powerful for them andthey're really really motivated.
But what's the underlying thingwhen we stop and aren't
motivated to continue to dohabits and goals and all of
those other things?
(06:26):
And it came down to I was nottapping into their individual
level of self-belief andself-worth.
So self-belief is what we feelwe're capable of achieving in
the external world andself-worth is what we believe
we're worthy of internally.
And those two can butt heads alittle bit sometimes, but
they're two of the biggestpillars that, through all of my
coaching, everyone that I haveworked with, all the women that
(06:48):
I have worked with, I can seewhere those two are either
supporting them or they need alot of work to support their
journey, any journey but we'llstick to health.
And so they didn't believe itwas possible for them.
So they've seen that it waspossible for someone else, but
they didn't believe it waspossible for them or that it
would be worth it.
And so those things reallymatter.
(07:09):
When I ask you, oh, do youbelieve this thing is possible,
someone's going to say, oh, yes,do you believe it's possible
for you?
That hits a little differently,and if the answer is no, then
that's the first barrier rightthere.
And then convincing someonethat it is worth it.
It is worth it to besustainable and consistent
long-term.
I know we would all love thisquick, sexy fix that is, oh, be
(07:32):
pain-free in 10 days or whateverit is.
Whatever that toxic positivityslogan, marketing comes your way
, but unfortunately it's along-term game a lot of goals
and a lot of journeys, and sowhen we can have small,
sustainable success, that helpsnot only build self-worth but
pours into our self-belief or,yes, belief as well, and so that
(07:53):
was the first thing that neededto be addressed.
And then self-worth If we don'tbelieve we're actually worthy
of feeling healthy and feelinggood, that is going to create a
glass ceiling as well, and Iknow that sounds ridiculous.
Logically, right here we'relike well, of course I'm worthy
of feeling healthy who isn't?
But there's this part runningin the back of our brain that
actually deeply believes that weare not worthy of being healthy
(08:15):
and thriving, and so assessingthat level as well and bringing
those components into anyone'sjourney that they are on has
genuinely been life-changing towitness, not only in my own
journey, but to help otherpeople.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, um, yes, yes.
There's just so many thoughtsbecause it is so true.
Learning to make trust depositsis what I call them, and so
it's learning to do these littlethings, learning to trust
yourself again.
Doing something small, likewriting down and we're going to
talk about gratitude in a secondbut writing down three things
(08:52):
you're grateful for, that's likea starting place right.
Things you're grateful for,that's like a starting place,
right.
And then something that helps me, that has helped me, is
reminding myself that future meis going to be really grateful
that I did the thing now, right,and so you know that that helps
me a lot too, cause then I getto the future and I'll see that
the thing is done and I'll belike pass me, like thank you,
(09:13):
right.
And so that's been reallyhelpful to me with like let's do
it now instead of putting itoff later, because future, you,
future is going to be likefuture is going to come back.
You're not going to want to dothe dishes, like you know, let's
, let's do it now.
And then, when I get to thefuture, right, I still think
past me, and so it's it's stilllike this, this cycle of
gratitude, right, but that'swhat I wanted to ask you next
(09:35):
Could you talk to me a littlebit about the role that
gratitude plays in this pictureof like self-worth right?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Absolutely.
First of all, I love that lensthat you use past me, now me,
future me oh, I love that somuch.
I do that too Like, oh, futureme is going to hate myself if I
don't do this, and then you'rein the future.
You're in that now, presentmoment and you're like, damn it,
past me.
But even that, even recognizinghey, I would have done better
(10:07):
if I had done this previously.
That's the first step, right,that's the awareness.
And the next time you're goingto be like, oh, I was kicking
myself last time that I didn'tdo this.
Future me is going to be sohappy about this, and so I love
that lens.
That's a really powerful lensto start looking at life through
.
I love that so much.
So gratitude is actuallysomething that's really
important.
In my house we all have a dailygratitude practice, even my boys
(10:27):
I homeschool, and my boys havea gratitude journal and cute
little they're like made forkids.
It's so sweet and we all writein them every day.
For me, gratitude keeps me in astate of abundance rather than
scarcity.
It's really easy to get into aspace of lack and scarcity,
especially nowadays.
I mean prices of everything aregoing up, like there's so much
(10:48):
to feel scarce about.
But when you can have agratitude practice, it really
does help you stay in anabundance state, and especially
if you can learn to bring it infrom like a 24 hour perspective.
What am I so grateful for?
That happened in the last 24hours, and I love this tool
because it primes our RAS, ourreticular activating system, in
our brain.
It primes it knowing that weare going to do gratitude every
(11:11):
day.
Your brain's like, oh, you areinterested in this.
I'm going to show you more ofthis, because I know you're
going to want to write it downtomorrow.
And so you start just seeingmore things you're grateful for,
not just the three things thatyou write down in the morning or
in the evening.
However, that works for you andso, yeah, I deeply love
gratitude.
It is.
It's, I think it's one of thedeepest forms of self-love as
well, which does tap intoself-worth and, of course, if
(11:35):
you can do it every day in asustainable way.
So, like 10 things might be toomuch.
One thing kind of doesn't seemlike it's worth it.
So I always recommend three tofive, and if you can keep that
up every day, then you're alsogoing to tap into building
self-belief as well, becauseyou're keeping a promise that
you make to yourself yeah,that's the, that's the trust
deposit and um and future mething.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
By the way, I call that leaving surprises for
myself, because I'll do it andthen I'll forget, and then I
come back and I'm like, oh myGod, it's done.
Like you're, when you have soso many things, um, and so that
(12:20):
that just really helps, hashelped me, like, just stay in
the game and, you know, stay onthings, make it kind of fun so
that I'm not like yelling atmyself all the time, right, and
so, yes, I love that um.
So talk to me a little bit moreabout um, your certifications,
because you do certifications.
How does that work?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh, I mean which one?
My own personal certificationsthat I have done throughout time
.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, you work with Next Level University right, so
like you help people getcertified in things, so can you
tell me a little bit about that?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh we.
So I mean the main thing we doright now is we graduate people
through group coaching.
That's kind of the main thing.
We are slowly working onbringing out a coaching program
for coaches to create holisticself-improvement coaches, so
that's, I mean, really exciting,but it's more that's definitely
future orientated, for sure.
Right now our biggest focus forexternal people outside of the
(13:17):
team is group coaching, and sowe take every quarter, because
it takes 12 weeks to go throughgroup coaching.
We bring on 10 new people.
We only take 10 because we likeit to be extremely intimate so
we can make sure we get to knoweverybody and help everybody,
not only as a group but as theindividual as well.
And originally it started asholistic self-improvement.
(13:37):
So we went through six modules,all focused on health, wealth,
life and love.
Quality of life was a big one,but you're learning about
fulfillment, self-worth,self-belief, all of these really
beautiful things.
But what Next Level Universityalso does is they have this
whole podcasting section of thebusiness and so, like the guys
have a daily podcast, next LevelUniversity is a daily podcast.
(13:57):
They have a podcast that comesout every day, and we now work
with a lot of podcasters.
They produce podcasts andthere's this whole section of
the business.
And so what we've started doingfor the last two rounds of
group coaching is we've actuallygotten all podcasters come in
and that's been really neat, sowe've actually shifted the
program for them.
And so we actually do holisticself-improvement for the first
(14:19):
two sessions, and then the nexttwo it's grow your podcast, and
then the next two are grow yourbusiness.
So grow yourself, grow yourpodcast, grow your business.
Because in the future we reallywant to have three levels of
group coaching.
We want it to be holisticself-improvement over here, we
want you to have podcastinggroup coaching over here and
business group coaching overhere.
And it's kind of Kevin, alanand myself we're kind of all
(14:40):
putting our flag in these threecorners of this whole business,
and so that's something thatwe're really excited about to
look forward to as well.
But me being a holisticself-improvement coach has been
working very closely with Alanhimself, the CEO of Next
University, and coming in frompast coaching, that I've done
myself as well.
But yeah, so there's a few I'vedone.
(15:01):
I mean acceptance andcommitment.
Therapy I have my certificationand diploma in registered
massage therapy.
That's the anatomy andphysiology background there.
There's a bunch of things.
I was a doula at some point Idid like my doula certification
and I'm always really stuck withhelping women In my practice
things.
I was a doula at some point, Idid like my doula certification
and I'm always really stuck withhelping women in my practice.
When I was practicing I did alot of pre and postnatal care
(15:23):
for women and pelvic balancing,and so it's always been this,
this obsession with helpingwomen grow and expand and learn.
And when I found I lovededucating more than I loved
treating, that's when it allkind of shifted into different
things.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh, that is amazing and that's that is just like a
next level thing, right?
Because then you get to sharewhat you do with someone else
and you get to impact so manymore people through other people
.
That is amazing.
So talk to me a little bitabout when you're coaching your
clients.
We're working on our self-worth.
What are some of the big tipsthat you have for them?
Like what you know?
What can you recommend for ourlisteners?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Good question.
So we have a framework and it'sa simple pyramid If you can
picture a pyramid in your mindand then it goes from the bottom
to the top.
We always want to build a solidfoundation, and so the
beginning, the bottom foundationof the pyramid in this
framework is keeping thepromises you make to yourself,
which is really beautiful, asyou have just said, in so many
(16:22):
different, amazing ways.
I love your perspective on that.
By the way, it's connected verydeeply to self-belief.
So those two frameworks connectat the bottom, or keeping the
promises you make to yourself isthe bottom.
The next one is boundarieslearning to hold healthy
boundaries and what I find ispeople get really upset that
(16:42):
their boundaries are not beingrespected and they're not being
listened to.
And oh, I put a boundary outthere, but someone didn't listen
to me.
They're not honoring myboundary.
The biggest mistake people makewhen they're setting boundaries
is they're actually settingrules instead of boundaries.
There's a subtle difference andso rules dictate other people.
So if I'm in an argument withsomeone, let's say I don't want
(17:03):
to be in an argument.
Let's say we're in a healthydisagreement, and they start
elevating their voice, or maybethey start calling me names.
Me.
Setting a rule would be hey,you can't talk to me like that,
knock it off.
In reality, they kind of stillcan.
I can't control what comes outof their mouth, right?
So the boundary would actuallybe hey, if you continue to speak
(17:24):
to me this way, I am going tochoose to leave this
conversation.
Boundaries dictate yourbehavior, and that's just you
expressing what is going tohappen if someone keeps
interacting with you in anunaligned way, and so there's a
subtle difference there.
So, instead of trying tocontrol other people because we
really can't we can haveinfluence over people sometimes,
but we can't actually controlthem, and so how can you work on
(17:46):
having more control over whatis aligned with you and how
you're going to interact in thatspace?
That helps build self-worth.
The next one is courage,especially social courage.
So being who you are, what youwant to say, doing what you want
to do those two, the boundariesand the social courage, go
(18:07):
really hand in hand, and if youstruggle with social courage,
then boundaries are going to bereally challenging for you, but
they are both very important forbuilding self worth.
So how can you learn to be alittle more authentically
yourself over and over again andspeak your truth and again,
baby steps.
In all of this, we always wantto expand out of our comfort
zone, but only slightly into ourgrowth zone.
We don't want to step into theanxiety zone and slingshot
ourselves back into our littlecomfort zone and convince
(18:29):
ourselves that this is not forus out here.
And so that's the third layer.
The next one is investing inyourself, and I think people
also, when they hear this, theythink, oh, it would be so nice
if I could invest in myself,spend thousands of dollars on a
program, go on a ladies weekend,whatever it is.
No, I mean yes, if you can dothat, absolutely Go nuts, but
(18:50):
it's daily.
How are you investing inyourself every day?
And it doesn't have to bemonetary.
So someone listening to thispodcast right now, that's them
investing in themselves.
That's them putting time andenergy into listening to
something really beautiful thatcould shift even just a small
perspective in their day.
So how can you invest inyourself a little bit every day?
(19:10):
That's a sustainable way.
Like me, I love making myself areally aligned tea every day.
I have lots of teas throughoutthe day but, I, make sure that
one is very specific.
What mug am I using?
What herbs am I using?
What does my body need rightnow?
How am I going to sit and enjoythis and have it while it's hot
, instead of heating it up sixtimes?
That's me having a moment toinvest in myself.
(19:32):
Maybe it's a couple extraminutes in the shower, maybe
it's.
However it is.
You're listening to an audiobook.
You're taking a moment tolisten to your favorite music
and dance around a little bitLike it doesn't have to be these
big, elaborate things, but it'sa deposit you want to make
every day.
And then the last one tip of theiceberg, there tip of the
pyramid is comparison.
What is your relationship withcomparison?
(19:54):
Is it for inspiration or is itdetrimental to you?
So a lot of us are comparing toothers in a detrimental way.
We can use comparison in asuper healthy, inspiring way,
but most of us are doing itdetrimentally.
So how can we look at someoneand be inspired by them?
Who can we be comparingourselves to in a healthy way?
(20:14):
I love using fitness as anexample.
So if I'm on Instagram and I'mlooking at someone who's 20
years old 21 years old, wholives in the city.
She's got a gym in her basement, she has no kids, her job is
whatever else it is, and shegets to go spend three hours in
the morning at the gym crushingher morning routine and all
these other things.
And I look at her and be likeman, I should be doing that, I
(20:36):
suck because I can't.
I don't do that and it's likewell one.
I'm almost 40.
I homeschool my children.
We live on a dirt road in asmall town that actually doesn't
even have a gym.
I'd have to go 45 minutes toget to the closest gym.
So this is not someone I shouldbe comparing to.
Now, if I see someone onInstagram who is also pushing 40
(20:59):
, who has children or ishomeschooling her children and
still manages to stay fit andhonor her body with movement
every day, that is someone I canbe inspired by and look up to
in a way.
So are you comparing apples toapples?
We call it equal comparisonSomeone who is ahead of you in a
way that feels really excitingand inspiring to you.
Or are you comparing apples tofrigging broccoli?
(21:20):
And it's just not even the same?
What are we doing?
It's detrimental.
That is the pyramid ofself-worth, and if you can try
and tap into each one of thosethings not at once.
It's not sustainable to changefive things all at once.
But going back and looking atwhat I just said, which one are
you already excellent at?
So keep thriving in that one?
(21:41):
Don't pay too much attention toit, you're already doing it.
And then, which one do you seeout of those five that needs the
most work and how can you makelike 1% improvement towards that
so that it's sustainable eachday?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I love that, I love that so much.
And, you know, I want toremember, like the big domino,
like what you just said is let'sgo to the one that's going to
have the most impact, right, solike, if you're right, like you
can't go to the top of thepyramid if your self-worth is
not currently available, likeit's not going to work.
(22:13):
And so, yeah, finding the bigdomino.
But once we make that shift andonce we you know we we topple
down that big domino, um, like,the change that happens is like
you can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Like it is the only way to make lasting change is
genuinely through leveraging thecompound effect, which you need
to do.
It's like that small thingevery day.
It's that saying seven applesone apple a day is better than
seven apples on Sunday.
That is so true for so manythings.
So how can we have the humility, the accurate self-awareness to
(22:49):
do something that is so smallto start, so that it is
sustainable and we can buildself-belief and self-trust by
starting small and doingsomething every day, trusting
that you can build on it as youneed to.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes, I was going to mention the 1% improvements that
you mentioned.
Every day, like, when wecompare, we just compare, like,
did I do 1% better thanyesterday?
Then that's a win and I thinkthat's a big deal because, like
you said, baby steps, you know,and if you do something every
single day, if you record apodcast episode every single day
(23:23):
, you end the year, like exactlyto your point, with 365
episodes.
If you take a few days off, 350episodes.
That's still a heck of a lot ofepisodes, right?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And what that's going to mean is you're compounding
the skill You're getting thereps in.
So even on the days of whereyou're not feeling your best,
let's say, you only have like30% to give to your podcast that
you're committing to do everyday Maybe it's like a quick
10-minute podcast or somethingevery day and you're committed
to doing it.
Well you know what?
Now you're committed to doingit.
Well you know what.
Now you're 30%.
(23:56):
After those 365 reps, your 30%is better than your 100% at the
beginning.
So that's the beauty of thecompound effect you can show up
and do better than when youstarted, even if you're not
feeling your best or not feelingthat energetically, however
that looks, because our 100%genuinely looks different every
(24:17):
day.
It really does, Especially aswomen.
Our energies fluctuate, oureven our abilities to articulate
and connect with other peoplefluctuates with our cycle.
We're just so different day today and so learning to trust
that, even if not even trust,giving ourselves the permission
and the grace to show up with,okay, I only actually have 40%
(24:37):
to give today, but I'm going togive 100% of that 40% and be
okay with that, so your 100%doesn't have to be the same
every day.
That perspective actuallyreally helped me let go of that
perfectionism mindset.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I love that.
I love that and I tell that tomy clients all the time.
They're like I can't put thisout because it's ugly.
And I'm like you're ugly is somuch better than what's out
there, right, like you'recomparing yourself to this
really high standard and likeit's already so good and you're
just picking out the littledetails.
(25:12):
So like, give yourself creditright.
And like you said, givingyourself grace details.
So like, give yourself creditright.
And like you said givingyourself grace Because, yeah,
you're 30% is better than thanyour 100% used to be.
Like I'm like, look how faryou've come.
Like what are you talking about?
All right, so, amy, let me knowhow can the audience stay in
touch with you?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I mean, I'm all about Facebook and Instagram.
I'm on there.
You can message me anytime,genuinely, I love talking about
this with anyone.
I do offer free connectionsessions to start.
Those are always free, and wedo have a daily self-improvement
Facebook group that anyone iswelcome in.
It's free as well, and we're inthere just posting anything
that's going to bring you moreself-awareness, motivate you
(25:54):
that 1% each day towards yourgoals, and that's just called
Next Level Nation and you havethe link for that.
So if you're looking for peoplewho are also just dedicated to
getting 1% better every day or,honestly, we're all about even
0.01% better every day it allcompounds over time, whatever
that looks like for you.
We're so celebratory of theindividual journey, and so if
(26:14):
you're just looking forlike-minded people who like to
grow just a teeny bit every day,then we would love to have you.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I love that.
That is amazing.
So be sure to check out Amyinside the group.
That sounds like so much fun.
And now, before we sign off,what is your big final juicy?
Like the tip that you give toyour clients.
That's just like therevolutionary tip.
Like give it to us.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It genuinely would be learn to build your self-worth
and self-belief, so tapping intothat pyramid that I said
earlier.
And then self-belief isgenuinely three steps.
It's just state, prove andself-assign and so say you're
going to do something, get itdone and then celebrate the fact
that you did it.
Like we said, it's not aboutperfectionism, it's not about
(27:04):
giving it 100% A lot of daysit's actually about just
checking the box.
Did you check the box?
Was it crappy?
Whatever, do it again tomorrow.
State, prove, self-assign.
That's celebratory.
So how can you increase yourself-belief and your self-worth
a little bit each day and itgenuinely will help you with any
(27:24):
journey that you are on.
Success is such an individualjourney and so whatever success
means to you health, wealth,relationships, life, anything
like that those two are going tobe pillars in that journey and
if you can learn to build thoseeach day, you're going to be
more successful.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I love that.
That is amazing.
And celebrate yes, celebrateyour wins.
That's such a big deal, yes,cause we're so good at moving
the goalposts Right and thenjust being like, well, you know,
like I was already there, butthat is what we need to
celebrate, that's what we haveto be grateful for, and so I
love that.
So thank you so much forjoining us today, amy.
This has been amazing, and wewill catch you guys next time on
