In this episode, Amanda chats with Kelly Bluth, an amazing educator embracing a new role this upcoming year. This conversation is all about marching to your own beat, taking baby steps towards your dreams, and leaning on your support team. Kelly spills on the excitement (and the butterflies!) about her new gig, and the importance of seeing the world through different lenses. It's a big shout out to creativity, getting up and moving, and taking care of numero uno in the journey of growth. They dish on the magic of body doubling and carving out time for some serious focus. Together, they flip the script on negative thoughts, turning them into an opportunity to wordsmith them to be more affirming. And let's not forget TOOT TOOT time, celebrating those small victories and giving ourselves a whole lot of love! The conversation concludes with a celebration of micro wins and the reminder to love and appreciate oneself.
