What do you do when the life you're living stops working?

When health anxiety takes over. When you don't recognize yourself anymore. When you've been running from change for so long that you've lost yourself in the process.

In this vulnerable, powerful conversation, I sit down with Ralitsa Malcheva (Rali)  founder of Soulful by Rali who spent years running from change until her body and soul forced her to stop.

After struggling with health anxiety and disconnection for five years, Rali went on a journey to come home to herself. And now? She helps other women do the same through life's biggest transitions, breakups, burnout, career changes, identity loss, and the messy middle of becoming.

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ What it means to be "the runner" and what happens when running stops working
 ✨ How health anxiety can hijack your sense of self (and how to reclaim it)
 ✨ The turning point that shifted everything for Rali
 ✨ Her "Return to Yourself" framework for navigating major life transitions
 ✨ Why reconnecting with your values comes before goal-setting
 ✨ The difference between running from change and returning to yourself
 ✨ Why true strength comes from allowing yourself to be vulnerable
 ✨ What to do when you're in a transition but don't know who you're becoming yet
 ✨ How to become your own best coach (not just rely on external guidance)

This episode is for you if you're:

• In the middle of a major life transition and feeling lost
• Struggling with anxiety or disconnection from yourself
• Tired of running and ready to come home
• Wondering who you are without your old identity
• Ready to do the deep work of returning to yourself

Rali doesn't just coach you, she meets you exactly where you are and gently guides you home.

Being young and divorced isn’t just about losing a person, it’s about grieving the life you thought you’d have. The house. The future. The role. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth about what it feels like to let go before anyone thought you’d have to.

If you’re 27, back in your childhood bedroom, wondering how the hell your life unravelled, this one’s for you.

What We Cover:

• The grief of losing a future, not just a partner
• The quiet shame of being divorced when your friends are getting married
• Why starting over young hits different
• My story: from heartbreak to Costa Rica
• An invitation to rebuild with support

Key Takeaways:

• You’re not just heartbroken. You’re unrecognisable to yourself and that’s okay.
• Grief is normal. Shame is common. But neither are permanent.
• Being young and divorced doesn’t mean you failed, it means you’re free to start over on purpose.
• You’re not broken. You’re in a reset. Let’s rebuild.

What if the pivot you're afraid to make is the one that saves you?

In this episode, I sit down with serial entrepreneur Adriana Quaranto, who built the leading agency for emerging designers in New York, reset her life in Miami to build her family, and then started over again in Charlotte—all while staying true to her values without compromise.

This isn't a story about a perfect, Instagram-worthy pivot. This is about the messy, identity-shaking kind of reset that makes you question everything and come out stronger on the other side.

In this conversation, we talk about:

✨ What it's really like to go from "known and successful" to starting over in a new city (more than once)

✨ How to navigate the identity shift that comes with pivoting your life and business

✨ Staying true to your beliefs and values in business—even when it costs you clients

✨ The difference between a pivot that feels authentic vs. one that feels forced

✨ How to give yourself grace and permission to reinvent yourself at any phase of life

✨ What Adriana learned from resetting multiple times (and what she'd do differently)

This episode is for you if:

→ You're in the messy middle of a life or business pivot

→ You've ever felt like you had to choose between success and staying true to yourself

→ You're scared to make a change because you've invested so much in the path you're on

→ You're ready to hear a real, vulnerable story about what it takes to rebuild

Adriana is proof that you can be successful AND be yourself. You don't have to compromise. You don't have to play small. You just have to be brave enough to pivot when life asks you to.

About Adriana Quaranto:

Adriana Quaranto is a serial entrepreneur and marketing strategist who started her career in New York, where she created the leading agency for emerging designers through experiential marketing and PR. After building her reputation in NYC, she pivoted to Miami to focus on building her family, and then reset again in Charlotte, where she now owns a 360 marketing agency specializing in health, wellness, and fitness.

Adriana is known for staying true to her beliefs and values without compromise—even when it's not the easy path. Her story is a masterclass in the art of the pivot.

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer fits?

In this soul-stirring episode of Dream Big with Amy, I sit down with the deeply insightful Yolan Bedasse — a former corporate high-achiever turned life coach — to talk about the courage it takes to walk away from the life you thought you wanted.

We explore:

• What it really means to "exhale in the messy middle"
• The slow, intuitive unraveling of leaving a once-dreamed-of career
• How to grieve the versions of yourself you never became
• Building self-trust in real-time (especially when the next step is unclear)

Yolan offers a tender, honest look at what it means to pause, reset, and trust the unfolding. If you’re in-between lives, titles, or identities — this episode is your permission slip to slow down, feel it all, and begin again.

The power just went out. Thunder's cracking over Costa Rica. And instead of waiting for the lights to come back on, I hit record.

Because sometimes the most honest conversations happen when you're sitting alone in the dark.

This is me unfiltered, unscripted, and uncertain, talking about what it actually feels like to start over. The loneliness that sits heavy on your chest at 2am. The fear that you made the wrong choice. The weird grief of becoming someone new when you're not sure who that person is yet.

No one talks about this part. The in-between. The void. The nights when you're proud of yourself for leaving but also terrified you'll be alone forever.

If you've ever felt like you're the only one still figuring it out while everyone else has moved on... if you've questioned whether you're brave or just broken... if you're rebuilding from the ground up and some days you can barely find the foundation 

This episode is for you. And for me. Because we need to stop pretending we have it together when the storm's still raging.

You're not lost. You're just in the dark right now. And that's where the real transformation begins.

What happens when your life falls apart at 31… and no one shows you how to rebuild?

In this raw and powerful episode of Dream Big with Amy, I sit down with Mind Detox Practitioner and Wellness Coach Nikki Hillhouse, who shares her incredible story of suffering a stroke in her early 30s and how she went from simply surviving to thriving.

We explore:
 ✨ What it means to become the CEO of your own health
 ✨ How to reclaim your power after years of just “getting by”
 ✨ The mindset shifts that made healing possible
 ✨ Why self-trust and intuition are non-negotiables in transformation
 ✨ How to stop living by the rules of fear, trauma, or outdated systems

If you've ever felt trapped by a diagnosis, overwhelmed by your past, or disconnected from your own body, this conversation is your permission slip to begin again.

Nikki’s journey will remind you:
You are not broken.
You can reset.
And a life without limits is more possible than you think.

I'm recording this slightly jet-lagged, from the other side of the world but I felt a pull to show up today. And when you feel that pull, you honour it.

This week, it's just me and you. No guest, no filter. I'm sharing the 7 hard truths nobody tells you about starting over and rebuilding your life. The things I wish someone had told me when I was crying in my car, terrified of my own apartment, knowing something had to change.

We're talking about:

• Why not everyone will celebrate your growth (and why that's okay)
• The messy middle no one warns you about
• Grieving the old version of yourself—even when the change was your choice
• Why you're waiting for permission you don't actually need

If you're in a season of change, feeling stuck between who you were and who you want to become, this episode is for you.

And if you're ready to stop waiting and start rebuilding? DM me "RESET" on Instagram or check the link in the show notes. Let's do this together.

What if the version of you that feels "lost" is actually just waiting to be discovered?

In this inspiring episode of Dream Big with Amy, I sit down with branding powerhouse and international best-selling author Katie Smetherman Holmes  and let me tell you, her story is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

From walking away from a safe corporate job in Houston to studying brand strategy in Milan, Katie chose reinvention over resignation. Now, she’s the founder of Brand Studio Creative, building brands that reflect who you really are — not just what looks good on Instagram.

We talk about:

• Why starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch
• How to build a brand (and life) that feels like you
• The bold decision that changed everything for her
• What to do when you don’t recognize yourself anymore

If you’re in the messy middle, the post-divorce, post-burnout, “who the hell am I now?” chapter — this conversation will feel like coming home.

What happens when even your greatest achievements leave you feeling disconnected from yourself? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Selen Atasoy (@metruelysocial) — neuroscientist-turned-therapist and founder of MeTruely — whose journey shows us that sometimes burnout isn’t a failure, it’s the body’s way of calling us home.

Dr. Selen shares her powerful story of moving from international recognition and cutting-edge brain research to a deeply personal reset that transformed both her career and her sense of self. We dive into the science of consciousness, the role of the nervous system in healing, and why bridging science and soul can unlock the most authentic version of who we are.

This conversation will challenge you to rethink what success really means, give you permission to listen when your body says “no more,” and inspire you to trust that your reset is the start of your becoming.

Perfect for you if:
✨ You’ve achieved on paper but feel empty inside
✨ You’re curious about the neuroscience behind burnout and healing
✨ You want to understand how to integrate science and soul in everyday life
✨ You’re navigating a reset and want tools to reconnect with your authentic self
✨ You’re ready to release who you thought you had to be and honour who you really are
