Shameless Leadership

645: Amy Green Smith: How to Walk Through Hard Conversations


Listen Later

Amy Green Smith is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and personal empowerment expert. Amy uses her roles as coach, writer, podcaster, and speaker to move individuals to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-worth.


With acute focus on helping people “find their voice”, she is highly sought after for her uncommon style of irreverence, wisdom, and humor and has been a featured expert in Inspired Coach Magazine and on Fox 5 San Diego.


Amy and I were connected by our mutual friend - SHOUT OUT to Andrea Owen - who suspected we might hit it off. Well, we totally hit it off. I could have talked to Amy for days. Amy’s energy is infectious. The language in this episode matches the energy, so we have labeled this interview explicit. Hold on because you are in for a fantastic conversation. 


Listen in to hear Amy share:

About her unexpected relationship with Eminem and cross stitch

The story of finding her voice and her confidence after growing up in an extremely conservative evangelical family

What happens if a person is emotionally flooded in a heated conversation

How to use a bridge statement in a hard conversation

How to use conversational consent in your conversation

Why “You are responsible for your intention, not your reception” in conversations, situations and relationships

Why people will not listen to other people if they don’t feel understood

What a boundary hangover looks and feels like

The defense mechanism of fawning that kept us safe when we were young, but has turned women into massive people pleasers

What happens when self-help goes wrong
