Bouncing Forward with Amy Purdy

Amy's guest Susie Moore has three things you can do right now to immediately lower your stress level.  This episode is less than 4 minutes long and well worth the listen so you're ready to push stress away the next time in creeps into your life.

Susie Moore is a business and life coach whose mantra is: let it be easy. She and Amy Purdy, a para-snowboarder and motivational speaker, discuss how to manage stress and live a more inspired life. “All it takes is a quick shift to feel grateful for what you have, and that changes your whole perspective on life.”

Susie shares her journey from working a corporate job to being a life coach and where her confidence comes from. Susie and Amy dig deep into facing stressful moments, creating a mindset shift, and living a happier life.

This week is my “Alive Day”. It’s the day my family and I celebrate because it’s not only the day my life changed forever, but it’s more importantly the day I got a second chance at life. In this episode of Bouncing Forward, I share exactly what that day was like for me: from living my regular day-to-day life to being told I only have 2 hours left to live. I also share the number one thing that helped me not give up when I lost the life I knew, and that one thing was gratitude. Plus, I share how I find gratitude in my darkest moments and how you can cultivate it too when you need it most.

Welcome to Thursday's bonus episode of Bouncing Forward. In this episode, I share my favorite key takeaway from Monday's episode. So if you're short on time, but are committed to bouncing forward, this episode is for you!

In this episode, I chat with you about managing our inner voice. When it comes to our inner critic, we all have a coach and a critic and I explain how I shift my mindset to give my inner coach more control than my inner critic.

This episode is a little different than usual! Instead of hearing me interview other thought-leaders, you will hear me get interviewed by the amazing Sherri Salata.

Together we chat about “Beautiful No’s”. This is when life suddenly takes us in a different direction and leads us to our destiny. I believe losing both of my legs – as hard as it was – brought me to exactly where I wanted and needed to be…just in a completely different way than I ever could have imagined.

We also about about managing our inner voice. When it comes to our inner critic, we all have a coach and a critic and I explain how I shift my mindset to give my inner coach more control than my inner critic.

Lastly, we chat about something fun many of you have probably never heard me talk about: I was casted as a lead actress in a huge Hollywood movie!

Sheri is not only a great friend of mine but she was the executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Co-President of the Oprah Winfrey Network and Harpo production, and the amazing author of Beautiful No.
