Sometimes life hands you a moment where everything shifts.

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER, Andrea Hecht sits down with Amy Schwartz, founder of Fuck It Inc., to talk about what “fuck it” really means — not giving up or being reckless, but choosing yourself when life feels out of control.

Amy shares how her personal “fuck it” mantra was born when her life shifted unexpectedly and what it’s taught her about choice, boundaries, and living fully.

Andrea also reflects on her own “fuck it” moment during her breast cancer experience, and why this conversation resonates far beyond health crises. This episode is for any woman navigating a curveball, an identity shift, burnout, caregiving, loss, or the messy middle of real life.

What “fuck it” really means (and what it doesn’t)

Choosing joy while still grieving what could have been

Reclaiming choice when life feels out of control

Boundaries, saying no, and protecting your sanity

Why choosing yourself doesn’t require permission

Amy Schwartz is the founder of Fuck It Inc., a jewelry and lifestyle brand turned movement — created as a reminder to keep living fully, even when life doesn’t go according to plan.
