Amy sits down with writer, creator, and podcast host Bryn Daylor for an open, deeply vulnerable conversation about what happens when you decide to stop living a lie and start choosing yourself.

Bryn shares the pivotal moment on the eve of her 30th birthday when she chose to walk away from a 10-year relationship and a successful business partnership to figure out who she truly was outside of her husband’s shadow. She reflects on using social media as an uncensored diary to navigate grief and transformation, handling public scrutiny and online judgment, and why disappointed expectations—especially other people's—is often the ultimate act of self-preservation.

ABOUT THE HOST:

Amy Doherty spent decades doing something many people avoid: telling themselves the truth. As a broke, single mother $100,000 in debt, Amy decided to go back to nursing school which led her to building a company from nothing and ultimately achieving an eight-figure exit. Early on, She learned that the clearest path forward was almost never the most comfortable one — but always the most powerful. 

Comfortable Lies picks up exactly there. Each episode explores what it means to live closer to the truth: in business, in relationships, in the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what’s possible. Truth-telling is where transformation begins, and the degree to which you can tell the truth is the degree you can expect your life to change. It is a practice — one that requires courage, demands clarity, and that changes as you change.

This show is for people who are done with comfortable lies and ready to trust what they already actually know, and ready to say it out loud.

Amy sits down with business profitability strategist, author, and advisor Michelle Jacobik for an open, unvarnished conversation on Comfortable Lies. Together, they dissect the hidden financial and emotional traps that entrepreneurs often fall into—from falling in love with vanity metrics like gross revenue to sacrificing personal core values in pursuit of success.

Michelle shares her journey across multiple chapters of her career, from owning an insurance agency to launching a financial coaching practice and authoring The Path to Profits and Prosperity After Divorce. Amy and Michelle dive deep into what it takes to build a sustainable, values-driven business: leading teams with genuine integrity and humility, learning to let go of bad-fit clients to make room for aligned growth, and breaking the habit of tying self-worth strictly to productivity.

What happens when a stay-at-home dad decides to publicly question the silent rules of manhood? In this raw and candid conversation, host Amy sits down with content creator Owen Squires to talk about his journey of unlearning patriarchal socialization, navigating male identity, and choosing authenticity over the comfort of male approval.

Owen reflects on his transition from a stay-at-home father seeking an outlet to an outspoken TikTok voice advocating for emotional expression, unlearning toxic traits, and dismantling systems that harm both men and women. Together, Amy and Owen dive deep into the cost of staying silent, the loneliness of stepping outside the status quo, and why breaking down the patriarchy ultimately creates a healthier, freer world for everyone.

ABOUT THE GUEST:  

My name is Owen Squires. I am an elder Millennial, publicly stumbling through an unlearning journey in hopes of becoming a better father and husband. I am burning the scripts of the prescribed, patriarchal masculinity that I was raised with. I am trying to get closer to truth, authenticity, and a healthier version of myself. All of this in hopes of having a tiny impact on the world, and leaving it better than I found it.
