    Host Bio:

    Amy started her small business as a hobby, and It turned into a business that grew so fast. Because of this, she did go through a lot of trial and error. One thing Amy wished she could have had along the way was a mentor to guide, support, and encourage her.

    Amy’s passion now is to be that support for a woman as she goes through business and or to help her with that business support and laser focus on her goals and ideas.

    The vision of Amy’s business is to be a safe space for women, a space where they can let go and be able to feel like themselves. To journey through knowing what it's like to be “me” (them). As women, we wear so many hats, and Amy’s heart is always to have the place where a woman can let go and be empowered by challenging her mind, body, and spirit.

    5. Healing, Sitting & Being Quiet

      In this week’s episode, we are talking about healing, sitting & be quiet. 

      Don't discount these steps no matter what stage you are in. 

      What does it mean to heal? It's the personal experience of suffering. Healing comes after suffering. It's after that where we can sit and reflect on what we grew through.

      When we are able to be quiet, it can really open up ways for us to be creative. It opens up our minds to be sharper.

      "Is there some sort of meaning behind what we are growing though?"

    6. Where You Come From & Limiting Beliefs

      Episode Summary:

      Let’s talk about limiting beliefs.

      Limiting beliefs root deeply into how you were raised, and how you were taught to think by the people that surrounded you in your youth. The way that you think and the thoughts that you have are completely different than everyone else’s - and they are YOURS!

      Try this with me. Lay out a limiting thought you’ve had today and separate it into pieces based on 3 categories: your family’s way of thinking, embellishments, and the blunt honest truth. If you had to pick one piece of that thought to keep in your mind, which one would you choose? Truth. The truth of that thought is what is going to propel you - not the extra “fluff”that you’ve attached onto it! Pull the truth from it and decide, not only what’s real, but what you WANT to be real.

      “A limiting belief can be easily turned into a strong, motivating belief.”

      - Amy Oostveen

    7. Showing Up & Staying Committed

      Episode Summary:

      In this week’s episode, we are talking ALLLL about showing up for yourself, and this is something that I think about day in and day out. How often have you set goals for yourself, only to fall flat within a week? Do you want results, but you can't consistently commit to the process?

      Decide right now what you're committing to. Are you committing to shop healthier at the grocery store, or are you committing to building the business of your dreams? Whatever it is, commit to it over the next 7 days, and put the word çommittment’ itself into every thing that you do. This is how you make the decision every single day to show up, and how to move through your days with intention.

      I want you to take emotion out of the equation. Emotion attaches you to the idea of a result. Whether you receive the results you desired or not - we are choosing to stay committed.

      “Happiness is a choice, not a result, and commitment is the same thing. It’s your choice to show up, regardless of the result. You have to decide to commit, and you have to decide to be happy.”

    8. Letting Go of the Heavy Things

      Episode Summary:

      Just like the common saying, “In order to start fixing a problem, you have to recognize that there is one,” it’s the same way with letting go of things that are heavy.

      You have to validate your own feelings, and recognize that they are weighing you down and holding you back from reaching your highest potential. Then, you can allow yourself to work on letting go of the emotions that are left heavy on your mind.

      Today’s episode is all about letting go. If you allow these emotions to weigh heavy on your heart, you dull yourself and your soul. You deserve to be free, to feel free, and to enjoy every single moment that life brings you.

      Tune in for today’s episode to grow through what you go through and create a process to get through the hardships and challenges that life will bring in the future. 💗

    9. Going From Deciding to Doing

      Episode Summary:

      Why are you here? Why are you doing what you’re doing? What is your ‘why’?

      Today's episode is all about your why. So take a second right now, think of what you are doing right now in this minute. Why are you doing it? What is this action doing for what you want out of your life?

      This is what gets you through the hard times. Whatever your ‘why’ is, say it out loud, visualize it, it will get you there. You have to know specifically what you are doing things for, because when you feel discouraged, tired, or overwhelmed, your reasons are the only thing that will get you through.

      Similar to our previous conversations about relationships, if your actions are not focused on your ‘why,’ then they are not serving you. Listen in to this week’s episode and let’s figure out your ‘why’ so that you can stick to your goals and grow through your life.

      Guest Bio:

      Kim Trathen is a Business, Money & Mindset Coach for women that want to create extraordinary lives through businesses they love. Society conditions us to believe that business is hard, we should give away our knowledge for free, and to seek permission or approval to do what we love. Funk that noise. As a woman who went from working a corporate job she hated, to scaling a 6-figure business at 40+ years old; Kim is here to show you how to stop doubting yourself and confidently build the business of your dreams. Her goal isn't to create more cookie cutter entrepreneurs; it's to create the next generation of thought leaders...because nothing scares the patriarchy more than a well resourced woman sharing her ideas with the world.

    11. Focus on the Process

      Episode Summary:

      It is possible for TIME to be on YOUR side!

      It is so easy in the hectic world around us to overanalyze every situation and to feel overwhelmed with where your life is headed, but getting stuck in this cycle of floating by and letting life decide for you, only leads to negative thoughts, feelings, and outcomes.

      In this week’s episode, we are discussing what you can do to change the course of this thought process.

      You have to be ready for it.

      When those feelings come your way, you are going to take action and move in the opposite direction. You do not have to accept each and every situation for what it presents itself to be. Create a visual, write down the thoughts that are holding you back, and decide that you will decide how this goes.

      Take control of your life and achieve everything your heart desires with me by tuning into today’s episode of the Life Redesigned podcast!
