What if success isn’t about doing more — but about honoring who you are and what truly matters to you?
In this episode of Flying Upstream, host Kristin Medeiros is joined by Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, for a deeply honest conversation about self-worth, self-belief, and redefining success on your own terms.
Amy shares her personal journey through chronic illness and how it forced her to slow down, listen inward, and challenge the external definitions of success she once chased. Together, Kristin and Amy unpack why discomfort is essential for growth, why “balance” is an unrealistic goal, and how understanding your core values can completely transform the way you make decisions, set boundaries, and care for yourself.
This episode is especially powerful for women who feel overwhelmed by expectations, disconnected from their needs, or stuck trying to do it all while feeling depleted.
If you’re ready to stop pouring from an empty cup and start choosing yourself — without guilt — this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
