In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast, host Nicky Yazbeck welcomes Amy McNally to explore the practice of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often referred to as “tapping.” Together, they trace the origins of EFT, explain its scientific foundation, and highlight how this simple yet profound practice combines ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology to regulate the nervous system and reduce stress.
The conversation offers listeners a direct, hands-on experience with tapping, guiding them through a live practice designed to ease stress and anxiety in real time. Nicky and Amy also discuss how perspective shifts can unlock deeper healing and lasting change, illustrating EFT’s accessibility and versatility in everyday life.
Amy McNally brings over a decade of expertise in nervous system regulation, backed by a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. She specializes in supporting high-performing women, particularly entrepreneurs and leaders, helping them overcome anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout. Having used EFT herself to navigate challenges around business, money mindset, and health, Amy now teaches women how to succeed and scale their impact without sacrificing their wellbeing, health, or peace of mind.
