In this episode: 

• Sharing some of the feelings of my own journey - being in  a 'cocoon' these past 9 months, slowly transforming...
• Stepping up and sharing my own failures in my journey. 
• Working on my own fear of opening up and truly following and owning my own natural expression. 
• How can we really define what success is?

• How learning to activate, transmute and channel my own creative energy to  ALLOW life to naturally unfold in divine timing is the foundation of my journey. 
• Learning to feel into this creative energy and learning to TRUST it. 
• Feeling into gratitude by consciously slowing down and tuning into the senses in each moment.  
• How asking myself: "what do I need in this moment?" & "How I'm feeling right now?" and then allowing time and space to feel that fully, really helped  me to feel into self-compassion.
• How learning to communicate my boundaries has taught me how to cultivate more self-compassion in my life and with others, with non-judgmental compassionate awareness.

Quotes:

"It's in our own vulnerability from opening up and being in our own natural expression that connects us all." 

"When we are fully self-expressed in our most full and natural way, we one, magnetise people into our life and two, we can consciously choose who we want to go out and connect with."

"In order to be grateful for the silence we  have to be grateful for the noise. One can not exist without the other. Listen to the silence within the noise. "

"We don't get what we want, we get what we are. If we want more love, more compassion, more gratitude, then we need to cultivate within ourselves first, and sometimes that looks like saying NO." 

"Choosing first, to be more loving and compassionate to myself has been the number one thing that I've learnt from all of my journey."

 "There's right or wrong way to do something. It just is. It's choice to show up. The WAY in which we do things and the way in which we show up in every moment  is more important than what we do."

Quotes:
“On the other side of this failure, is your purpose & your highest self waiting to be of service to others.” 

“When we choose curiosity in the midst of our struggles, we are also choosing vulnerability.”

“When we choose curiosity, it requires us to surrender to uncertainty.”

How can we not suffer from loneliness?

Although loneliness can be a great time to relax and just be, it can also trigger painful emotions and feelings that leave us feeling disconnected and separate from others and a higher power.

If you've ever felt:
- terribly alone even when you are in a crowded room
- felt so alone that you isolated yourself
- that you've put on a mask and pretended that you are okay when inside you feel separate and like no one understands you
Then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Amy shares her own experience and practical tools that will help you to make peace with loneliness and reframe our perception of it. Ultimately, to see loneliness as an opportunity to be, grow and connect deeply to ourselves.

In this episode I share how patterns of self-sabotage can actually be for a positive intent & how being grateful for that can rewire our mindset. I share how you can create leverage to re-condition your brain to interrupt self-sabotaging behaviors & how we can stay consistent in identifying these behaviors.

How can we create confidence in the MOMENT? How can we turn it on when we need it? Feeling confident is nothing but a state of mind and we can create confidence through certainty and conditioning our mind.

Have you ever been in a situation where you tried to pump yourself up to be confident but are still doubting yourself a lot inside? In this episode, I share strategies that:
1. Help you change your physical state radically.
2. How you can condition your mind to create confidence and success in the present moment.

Lastly, I share a vital and super impactful tool from the master of success - Tony Robbins, which explains how we can get ourselves out of a downward spiral and create the success we want to see in our lives immediately.
