EP 36: Living on Purpose with Amy Wong


Listen Later

This episode is for anyone who is feeling a sense of unrest or dissatisfaction with their life and who wants to find more joy and meaning. Amy helps us break down why we desire what we desire, what actually drives us to pursue our goals and what key questions we can ask along the way to make sure we are living on purpose.  A favorite part about our today was the nuance that Amy’s work brings to self help and self development. That our greatest learnings and times of growth come when we contract and rumble with hard things - and how we can use that data to better direct our next steps. Amy helps us understand why “should” is a word that potentially carries a lot of heavy energy, riddled with guilt and tension. This episode is HIGH energy, riddled with insights and really really human. 


In this episode, you will learn: 

  • Amy's early influences that inspired her into the realm of consciousness and spirituality 
  • How Amy defines "living on purpose" 
  •  The pivotal moments that helped Amy move towards being a spiritual being having a human experience
  • How the constant need to control our conditions leads to "efforting" which can be draining and lead to burnout 
  • How to reframe goals, that milestones can be helpful but the feeling of what we believe we want is always most important
  • Amy encourages us to "think as far as it feels good" and then come back to the moment. 
  • What it means to embrace Amy's mantra of "feel it out, don't figure it out!"
  • Amy recommends us to "map our desired feeling state" 
  • Amy encourages to strengthen our body/mind awareness - even the states of constriction as it provides great data for what we want and don't want. 
  • "Accept it all" The more we can learn into contraction, the more we can sit with it and also use this state to learn and grow. 
  • What Amy feels is one of the worst/most dramatic words is! 
  • Inner critic? Learn how to make friends with the constant force of opposition with Amy's approach.
  • How Amy defines unlearning :)
