I'm practicing what I preach today and getting on the mic for a solocast about how I have been managing anxiety and fear lately. Even though you have made this a Top 1% podcast Globally (THANK YOU!!!) and you send me the most wonderful messages about how the show has impacted you, I still get a little nervous about doing solocasts. In fact, I have lots of butterflies in my stomach about soooo many things lately, ESPECIALLY to something that might surprise you! I agreed to play in a celebrity softball tournament and I am not just overcoming my fear of being hit in the face with a ball, but also overcoming my anxiety about playing in front of the expected 15,000 people that will be at Globe Life Field--the home of The Texas Rangers!! Until last week, I had never pitched a ball or been up to bat. Thanks to Coach Ruby (AKA my 14 year old daughter) I have been practicing every day and learned terms like "refuse to lose" and "keep your eye on the ball." I am always up for a good challenge and I can promise you one thing...it will be definitely be entertaining and I will show you first hand how to walk through your fears if you come to see me play ball! So far we have lost three balls over fences and in a pond, I have been hit in the face with a ball, and had one bloody nose. But along the way there have been lots of deep belly laughs, tons of learning and so far I am getting a little better every day. In this episode I share some of the best ways I've learned to manage anxiety, including stories of specific events that have pushed me to face my fears. You'll also hear from the founder of The Celebrity Softball Classic, Tim "TK" Lund and the whole story behind it, including how you can buy tickets to come see it! Here's what you will learn: How action steps can help you through anxiety (3:47) The importance of hard work. The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win (8:30) How connection with others is essential to the journey. WE not me attitude. (13:23) Don't rely on motivation but instead on your healthy habits (21:09) Opportunities may knock, but you must open the door(24:17) It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up (25:00) How movement moves your mood and the importance of the right supplements (27:10) What did you learn from this episode?

In honor of Alcohol Awareness Month I am excited to bring you a conversation with my dear friend Michelle Smith who is normalizing sobriety in our boozy culture. Michelle left corporate after 20 years with nothing more than passion, a laptop, and a dream. She is proud to have created "Recovery is the New Black," a digital community that touches thousands. Her passion for maternal mental health emerged after becoming a mother herself. Alcohol became a coping tool, eventually resulting in severe alcohol use disorder. Her unique blend of education and personal experience serves her well in supporting moms postpartum who are reaching for alcohol to cope with the hard seasons of motherhood. As an educated professional working in the addiction field, she never imagined she would find myself struggling to find a healthy relationship with alcohol. She has learned no amount of alcohol is good for her, and she is far from alone. Addiction does not discriminate, and no one is immune. She went from a depressed, anxious mom using alcohol daily to numb, to living a life of confidence, freedom, and purpose. She recovers out loud to let others know alcohol is not an accessory to motherhood. Michelle and I talk about how anyone can find themselves struggling with addiction, what to do when you realize you want to change, and why you are not alone if you want to live sober and happy. Here's what you will learn: How Michelle recognized her own harmful behavior (5:21) How addiction doesn't discriminate and how reaching for mind altering chemicals to feel better is a slippery slope (12:03) Why confronting recovery is difficult but lifesaving (20:31) Myths about drinking alcohol (22:00) How to let go of shame, embrace change and claim your happiness (27:44) How alcohol keeps you from getting restorative sleep (32:19) Why accountability was important to Michelle sharing her story (41:53) What did you learn from this episode?

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is a special one. I got to actually sit down with my guests in real life and talk about the incredible story of resilience that they have lived. When American kayaker Cliff Meidl led Team USA into the stadium at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Sydney, nearly two billion television viewers were watching globally. Millions of Americans learned of the amazing comeback he made from a tragic near-death construction accident when he was 20 years old. Working on a construction site in 1986, Cliff was operating a jackhammer and within moments "the lights went out" for him. He had made contact with three live electrical cables suffering cardiac arrest due to the severe electrical shock. In addition, Cliff also sustained serious electrical burns and exit wounds over fifteen percent of his body with major damage to both knees. Nearly a third of each knee compartment was disintegrated. Fortunately, first responders arrived quickly and saved Cliff's life. Cliff's battles were not over yet. Due to the severe damage to both legs, doctors were recommending amputation. Cliff's family was able to find UCLA Medical Center Plastic Surgeon Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, who devised an innovative procedure and was able to help save Cliff's legs. As they say, "the rest is history." Several years later through many surgical procedures and an extensive rehabilitation process, Cliff was able to gain enough mobility to walk again (to the amazement of his doctors). Nearly ten years after his horrific accident and his commitment and dedication to battle through adversity, Cliff realized his dream when he marched into the Opening Ceremonies of the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta as a member of the USA Olympic Kayaking Team. Four years later at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Cliff competed again in his second Olympics and received one of the highest honors as an Olympian. He was selected by his peers to carry the Unites States flag during the Opening Ceremony. Following the Games, he received a number of honors including the "Arete Courage in Sports Award," the Philadelphia Sportswriters "Courage Award," the Los Angeles Marathon "Patsy Choco Award," and many more. In addition, Cliff was named as one of the 20 all-time inspirational Olympians for the "Olympian Heroes Series," and continues to receive national and international media coverage through his spokesperson and motivational speaking events. I sat down with both Cliff and Dr. Malcolm to talk about this powerful story, with their decades of perspective on how it has unfolded. I can't wait for you to hear what they had to say! Here's what you will learn: How Cliff's life changed when he had a major accident (1:34) How hope can help in recovery (20:31) Teamwork and having someone believe in you can help you overcome trauma, challenges, and adversity (22:25) The importance of micro-steps (31:11) Why believing in something bigger than yourself is essential (40:39) What did you learn from this episode?

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is about a subject that is close to my heart: ADDICTION. What I have learned is addiction doesn't discriminate. Whenever I talk to others in recovery who have claimed a life of sobriety, I am always uplifted and inspired by the daily choices they make to live in gratitude and to be of service to others. This is a powerful conversation about addiction, recovery, sobriety and spiritual transformation that will nourish your soul. It's about finding the grit to persevere through life's toughest challenges and giving yourself the grace to do it with kindness. I couldn't be more excited to introduce you to today's guest, Brad Jensen, who just happens to have "GRIT" and "GRACE" tattooed on his knuckles. Brad's passion for the fitness industry has been engrained into his life since he was 14 years old. The minute he picked up his first fitness and nutrition magazine, he knew that it was what he was born to do. He became NASM and ACE certified so that he could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. He wanted to absorb as much as he could to feel his best and share his passion with others. He has since gone on to acquire numerous certifications, including NCI, Oracle applied science, and the Well-Fit mentorship. This passion lifted him from his darkest times and helped him overcome a decade of addiction to drugs and alcohol, which resulted in his sobriety. His sobriety date is November 20th of 2012, and for that, he is eternally grateful. Brad opened the doors to Key Nutrition in March 2017 and has never looked back. He now operates a course called The Next Level Experience, where he helps individuals level up in all areas of their life in an intimate, intense, and interactive course. Here's what you will learn: How Brad was first exposed to alcohol and drugs before starting his journey toward sobriety (2:43) What he learned through chronic pain, addiction, and trying heroin (13:26) The difference between being clean and being in recovery (21:03) How to build grit mentally, spiritually and physically (29:31) How he has been able to stay sober through entrepreneurship (38:25) The importance of spirituality outside of religion (45:21) The importance of reaching out while struggling with any kind of addiction (46:49) I am excited to share that I will be joining Brad soon in Salt Lake City for his event "MINDSTRONG." I am honored and excited to be the keynote speaker and share tips and tools on who to build grit and strengthen your resilience!! Join us and nourish your mind, body and spirit!

"Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal to your sense of connection to intention, who see greatness in you" -Wayne Dyer This is the first time I'm releasing this kind of episode and I was so excited about it that I recorded the intro for it on Christmas morning! This year I hosted the first ever Unstoppable Life Mastermind, and it was transformative, magical and an experience so special I just had to share it with you. After meeting on Zoom for months with this group of empowering trail blazers, we got to meet in person in Malibu, CA to celebrate what we learned and the breakthroughs we experienced. I invited each member to give a short TED style talk about the biggest lesson they had learned in their life. I recorded each one so that you could hear these incredible stories of grit and grace. From overcoming domestic abuse, cancer and turning cant's into cans, to creating the confidence to launch a business, start their own show and even write a book, each of these stories will move you. If this kind of work speaks to you, and you are ready to get clarity on your goals, build your influence and make a bigger impact and income, be sure to apply for the next round of the mastermind that starts February 2022! As a collective, we will share the tools and resources to take action. This is an experience where we focus on YOU and YOUR big dreams! Imagine a handful of like minded champions, working together to hep one another by offering unfiltered suggestion and direction to help make your goals a reality!! See what's possible when you receive the outside perspective and counsel from others in the group as they put their full attention on helping you grow. Be of service to others AND receive the "borrowed benefits" of listening in while other members are given feedback, counsel and connections. We will be using the Mastermind Association principles to help separate you from the 95 percent who dream of success to the top 5 percent you actually achieve it!

"Let food be your medicine." That is what the founder of one of my favorite health food brands said to me during our conversation about healing, the power of fermented foods, and where true health comes from. We talk all things fermented, why Kefir is so important, what you can do at home, and why you might want to stop slamming back kombuchas.

After reading about the healing powers of fermented foods, Lauren tried sauerkraut from a health food store. She was shocked at how much that pickled cabbage changed her entire world.Lauren shares the magic of the fermentation process with everyone she meets. In less than two years, Mones grew her home-based business selling bottles of kefir outside a yoga studio to a USDA certified organic brand sold in dozens of Los Angeles health food stores and online.

"Live from the heart, be from the heart, connect from the heart." Wow, today's guests live this statement every day. I am so excited for you to hear their unique perspective on what happens when we change our energy and focus it on love.

Anthony a full embodied channel, who is clairvoyant, clairsentient, claircognizant and clairtangent. He is able to tap into those hidden and inner worlds that shamans and spiritual masters so often speak of and innately know – it is in this world of "Spirit" or "Higher Dimensions and Realms" where ancient knowledge and healing often takes place, working through the body which merely acts as a vessel for what appears to be transcendent to our human eyes and ears.

"Work on your strengths and hire your weaknesses." This is the advice today's guest shared with me as I asked him about his success tips.

He has studied with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world, and I can't wait for you to hear his story. Mike Zeller is a man of many paradoxes. It's true that his businesses have done over $300 million in sales, and that he himself has founded or partnered in over 20 ventures with a heavy emphasis on social entrepreneurism. It's also true that he studied under masters of the industry such as Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham and many others. And yes—he's even mentored over 100 high-level entrepreneurs from four different continents. Mike's incredible genius lies within his innate ability to help his clients pinpoint their deepest purposes, greatest gifts, and highest potential to serve and influence the world. Using his master practitioner skills of NLP and his highest-level business training, he then weaves an intricate tapestry—showing exactly how to build a sustainable, highly-successful business, while removing unconscious emotional blocks and wounds that sabotage progress. To tie this delicate process together, he shows his clients how to find lasting fulfillment by staying in touch with their hearts and living lives of deep impact, high gratitude and lasting connection. In this episode, Mike and I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the power of quality relationships, the importance of understanding your unique genius, and how to keep going no matter what. Here's what you will learn: How to start your journey toward success (1:27) How to find good people to match with in business (7:21) How to build a solid email list (11:39) The importance of taking breaks from being online with your business (23:48) How getting outside and traveling can spark creativity (28:50) How taking inventory of your key relationships can help you thrive (36:28) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @themikezeller so we can see and repost to our stories!

"Getting great at one thing opens doors for everything else." Kyle Wilson is an amazing example of this for sure!! I met him on Clubhouse a few months ago and was so moved by him and his wisdom that I invited him to speak to my Unstoppable Life Mastermind group and now so honored to introduce him to you. I have been so impressed with his book publishing skills, his amazing network, his professionalism, his resilience, and his kindness. But what I am most excited about!!!!! Well.....we co-authored a book that JUST hit bookshelves yesterday called Persistence, Pivots and Game Changers, Turning Challenges Into Opportunities. I am honored to be a part of this book, along with others such as Phil Collen, Glenn Morshower, Kevin Eastman, and Marques Ogden with a forward by Brian Tracy.

Plus, this book will positively impact YOUR own personal development and growth.

"Don't tie your identity to things that can be pulled away from you." Today's episode shares a true story of resilience, grit, and grace. If you've ever struggled with confidence, instability, or fear, you'll relate to this conversation. Stephen Scoggins is an award-winning, successful entrepreneur, however, it wasn't always that way. Growing up, life was really difficult for Stephen. When he was just 22, he found himself homeless and on the verge of suicide. He was angry, stuck and completely empty inside. During that season, a mentor gave Stephen a second chance opportunity he didn't feel he deserved. From there Stephen launched a multi-million dollar construction company and has gone on to launch 5 other successful businesses ranging from real estate to thought leadership with top line revenue over $100 million. He uses the pain of his past and the lessons he's learned along the way to help people discover who they are, why they are here and what to do about it. Stephen is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of giving others the same gift of freedom he received by offering a practical and empowering education to those looking for a second chance to level up, catapult forward and make their dreams a reality. In this episode, Stephen shares the path he took from rock bottom to building stability, confidence, and success. He is a guide, not a guru, and I know you'll find so much value in what he shares.

One of the most powerful and most challenging skills we can learn is how to sell like an authentic leader. No matter what our mission or business is, we need to be able to sell it in order for it to succeed. I love learning from the best sales leaders about how to do this right, and what it takes to change our mindset about selling like a true leader. Ben Ward is a passionate leader with over 20 years of experience in sales leadership, and executive leadership training and development. From a career start in direct sales as a door-to-door salesman, he quickly advanced to senior management in one of the fastest-growing companies in America. At age 26, Ben built and managed the highest producing sales region at Firstline Security, an INC 500 company. He became the #1 highest producer in the company—of over 2,000 sales representatives nationwide—and generated over $37 million in revenue with sales teams. There he earned his first million dollars in sales commission. Ben then went on to co-found Elevate Inc. an IP-based company offering bundled phone, Internet, digital TV, security and home automation services. The company recruited thousands of sales representatives nationwide and went public in 2010. The company experienced a ton of success and ultimately came crashing down and Ben lost everything. Ben looks back on this experience as the most valuable learning and growth period of his life up to that point. Ben picked himself back up and became a CEO / administrator of a Plum Healthcare facility where he spent four years focused on leadership development and growing and developing people as he lead a team of over 200 healthcare professionals. In this episode, Ben shares his best tips for overcoming limiting beliefs, stepping into leadership, and using integrity, kindness, and confidence to sell what you love and expand your business or cause.
