September 22, 2025 You Don’t Deserve It — And That’s the Gift
In this thought-provoking and gently controversial episode of Healthy AF, Amy Chang invites you to rethink the idea of “deserving”—whether it's a reward, recognition, or a result. From feeling cheated when life doesn't go your way to justifying choices based on what you feel you’ve earned, Amy unpacks how the mindset of “I deserve it” can lead to disappointment, frustration, comparison, and entitlement.

Through personal stories and real-life coaching examples, Amy helps you reframe your wins—not as entitlements, but as gifts, partly earned and partly given. You'll learn how to hold space for your hard work and the grace that made it possible.
If “deserving” isn’t serving you, maybe it’s time to put it down and pick up something lighter—and truer.
“Everything I’ve gotten has been given to me… and I’ve worked hard for it too.”

September 08, 2025 The Perfectionism Trap: Why You Don’t Need to Start at 100%
In this first episode of a two-part series on perfectionism, Amy Chang, coach at Healthy Life, Health and Wellness Coaching, breaks down the hidden ways perfectionism derails our best intentions. Whether you're stuck in inaction because you can’t do it perfectly, or diving in at 110% only to burn out fast, Amy unpacks how perfectionism keeps us from making real, sustainable progress.

From workouts to nutrition, and even relationships, you'll learn how to celebrate progress at every stage rather than chasing unattainable perfection.

Start where you are. Level up with grace. And ditch the all-or-nothing mindset for good.
