Embracing Intensity

169: How to Cope in Uncertain Times with AmyLee Westervelt


Listen Later

These last few weeks have been super intense. For those of us who are sensitive, we’ve either wanted to escape into a hole to heal or dive deep into creative projects, which is what I’ve been doing. I hope you’ve found the things that help you cope best in this time of uncertainty. My guest today has wisdom and insights that can help!

AmyLee Westervelt, of Gratitude & Glamour, is a life and business coach for empaths and highly sensitive people. We connected through a mutual friend, and I’m excited to introduce you to her today.

Show Highlights:

  • Get to know AmyLee, a mom of five kids under eight years of age, who grew up in Boston and now lives in Savannah, Georgia
  • Why AmyLee is passionate about helping people empower themselves to change their lives
  • AmyLee’s personal brand of intensity is to put a lot of “oomph” in everything she does, always cultivating a deep connection with others
  • Why AmyLee felt like a “little dancing bear” as a girl who was paraded around by a narcissistic parent
  • Growing up in Boston, Amy was always different and always asked “too many questions”
  • How AmyLee had to tone herself down and tune herself out from overanalyzing everything and being too dramatic
  • How empaths overthink everything why someone does something
  • How AmyLee tries to parent her kids according to each child’s energy instead of their gender
  • When AmyLee’s intensity is out of control if she feels wronged by someone
  • How AmyLee uses her fire for good and believes deeply in the abilities of people to be resilient
  • How AmyLee had to reign in her ego and imposter syndrome to harness the power of her intensity
  • The habits that help AmyLee are meditation, the motherhood experience and seeing life through her kids’ eyes, and being creative in crafting life’s experiences
  • The best advice came from a life coach, who said, “If it’s not a hell yes, then it’s a NO.”
  • Books that have helped AmyLee: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein
  • How AmyLee works as a life and business coach for empaths and highly sensitive people, teaching them to navigate, create healthy boundaries, and practice radical self-care
