Roots Change Podcast

Welcome to Roots Change, a self-help podcast for regular, non-guru humans like us. Around here, we believe growth isn't some perfect, shiny thing you achieve... it's messy, brave, kinda clumsy, and deeply human. In each episode, you'll find real conversations about the work of becoming who you want to be - with personal stories, imperfect lessons, and honest reflections from my own life and the lives of others doing the damn thing too. No fake experts. No "5 easy steps to enlightenment" bullshit. Just real people, doing real growth, in real time. So, if you're chasing change, tired of toxic positivity, and ready to claim your transformation story - you're in the right place. Now let's get this conversation started! selfhelpjunkies.substack.com

Today is a day to recognize the women in our lives who have impacted and inspired us. An opportunity to uplift the uplifters, the silent heroes. The trailblazers, courageous leaders, and compassionate healers... Today let's give credit where credit is due.

Today's episode is a heartfelt pep talk and invitation for those of us in the world that are spending maybe a little too long getting ready to be ready.  This is for the people in the back who've been taking notes, gathering the tools, and have been talking about those next steps yet aren't actually taking them. It's a message for myself and a reminder to everyone that's listening that there is a big differ...

If you're scratching your head reading that title, this episode is about big feelings, serious self-awareness, accountability, and the value of uncomfortable conversations. Last week an area of growth for me was agitated, cared for, and healed enough to move forward in new ways. 

It's yet another honest conversation about money by yours truly and I hope it helps.

They say if you want something bad enough you'll find a way.  Well, some of the things we want, like who we are in the process of becoming, take a bit longer than we're prepared for. For example, I found myself tearing up as I stood on my yoga mat this morning. Not because I was sad, frustrated, or upset. Because I just proved something to myself and that is something to be celebrated, shared, and savored.  It's the ...

The decisions that feel the hardest to make, are the ones that are telling us the most. This year is feeling really big and kind of heavy over here at Camp Coach Amy. I'm getting married in June and I'm pretty sure that dragging my feet on some SMALL decisions that felt big is what's creating all this NOT SO EXPANSIVE energy.  

In the process of talking to a friend about my difficulties in choosing my dress,...

As 2022 comes to a close (and yes, that crept up fast), I've been thinking about the things I gave up on this year.  Not in a discouraging way. More curious and seeking understanding. Well, I've done some processing over the last few days and determined most of the time, when I give up on something I care about, it's really not my fault. It's just my brain does a really good job.

All December I've been sharing "tips to a happier life". In this week's episode, I'm sharing a lesson I learned the long, hard way. It's about forgiveness, compassion, and wishing those that have harmed us, well. Let me just start by saying this... this person I wasn't sure I ever could forgive. I actually had at one time decided there was just no way I ever could. But as I healed from the harm th...

As adults, we tell ourselves it's hard to find friends and nearly impossible to build the meaningful relationships we want most. Today's episode features two of my closest friends, Amber & Jamie. Both of these ladies have been in my life for only a short period of time, and both are massively important. 

I hope after listening it causes you to think differently about building the friendships you want and that...

Friends, the holiday season is upon us, and now is a good time to ask yourself TWO really important questions. 

1. Have I set boundaries with those who need them or do I just assume I have them?  

2. What's my self-care plan  

BOth of these questions matter and I happen to be solving both for myself this very minute so thought I'd invite you along. If you want to have a happy Holiday, you are th...

If you're a human, caregiving for ANOTHER human, especially if they require additional support for one reason or another, self-care can at times feel far-fetched and unrealistic. Well, friends, it is NOT.

If you want something for yourself but don't have it, you feel it.  What you think about not having it will determine how you feel and I think for most uncoached brains, it's unpleasant. Our thoughts influence how we feel so if we focus on how it's never gonna happen, we're going to feel BAD. 

Some people pretend they don't want what they want because, why bother... But that desire is bound to come...
