The Growth Moment With Amy K Coaching

Worry is insidious - it's addictive like popcorn or potato chips. The kind of thinking that keeps you up at night. Today is about turning WORRY into WONDER. Wonder opens up a window, shifts your focus to a horizon of possibilities. Like turning a kaleidoscope to a new view. Grab all of your worries and get ready to play with wonder. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Check this out: I WORRY that the economy is screwed & my business might be screwed. Now for the transformation: I WONDER how I can use this economy to grow my business. Feel the difference between the fretting, brooding, stressful energy of WORRY and the eye and mind opening power of WONDER. I LOVE turning worry into wonder. I think it was the very first jedi mind trick that I explored way back in coach training. I'm always amazed & delighted with the speed of this tool. It's not a cure all but it is a game changer.

Where are you consumed by regret? Regret is a crazy powerful emotion. It's like a fixed gaze in the rear view mirror, trapping your energy and derailing your momentum. Today's tool is all about transforming regret into RESOLVE. Used properly, regret has a purpose. It's a flag, a notification for action, an invitation for a growth moment! Move forward with RESOLVE. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: This is one of my transformation tools. A quick hit to get a change of perspective and a shift of energy. Other transformation tools include Wonder to Worry, Guilt to Gratitude, Either/Or to Both/And, Resentment to Release. Regret is a potent emotion. Think about it right now - what are a few of your biggest life regrets? What bubbles up immediately? As is often the case with more negative emotions, we tend to dwell, swirl and circle around regret LONG past its expiration date. It's such a fundamental misuse of your energy. Used properly, regret has a purpose. Look at it as a stepping stone not a stopping point. Breaking free of the downward pull so something else can happen. You can choose to use regret to serve your higher purpose and full potential with RESOLVE. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

Where are YOU with mortality? Do you think about it? Is it an energizing force or more like fear induced paralysis? I've been semi obsessing about mortality the past few years and it's freaking me out. So, I'm turning things upside down today! I brought in MY coach, the great Andrew Petty, so that I can be the client. Whatever YOU need to face - let's do it together! MY COACH: Andrew Petty Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewpettycoach/ Podcast: https://www.andrewpettyisdying.com/ Website: https://www.digdeepwinbig.com/ THE SCOOP: This episode and the mortality topic is not for the faint of heart. I am leaning hard into my emotional courage to take on the task of facing my mortality. I've been semi obsessing about mortality the past few years and it's freaking me out. Instead of motivating me & creating a carpe diem/seize the day kind of mindset, it's shutting me down. I decided enough is enough & it's high time to deal with it. So here I am, authentic, no holding back, diving into my own growth moment. Let this session be about YOUR relationship with the inevitability of death. If this episode IS about me AND you facing & embracing our mortality - what do YOU want out of the coaching? What would be invaluable to walk away with at the end of the episode? We are in good hands with my coach Andrew. He is an all around powerful coach, but Andrew has a special expertise and focus on mortality. On his phenomenal podcast called Andrew Petty Is Dying - he interviews guests and provides thought provoking solo episodes on the great power of owning that we ALL are dying - but we aren't dead YET, so get after it - go LIVE today. Andrew coaches 1:1 but also runs The Graveyard Groups - life changing small coaching groups. There couldn't be anyone better to help me tackle this topic. My wish for you is that YOU will face & embrace whatever you are avoiding and find unimaginable growth as a result. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Is your Inner Critic kicking your ass? Life is challenging enough. Do NOT put up with trash talking inner saboteurs or gremlins throwing up more roadblocks. Today is Inner Critic 101! I am handing over a few foundational tools - indispensable if you are just getting started OR a great refresher/reboot if you already are on the journey of freeing yourself from the Inner Critic. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: I have a long standing passion for working on Inner Critic issues - my OWN & others. That's why it was the topic of my very first episode early in 2021 - coaching my client Scotty on HIS 800 pound gorilla of an inner critic. I've amassed a pretty deep toolkit over the years, constantly working on my own skills & side by side with my clients on theirs. Honestly, I could do a 10 week course on managing the bullshit in your mind. But today, I am giving you two classics - the 'must have' tools. Why bother? You bother because there is a HUGE return on investment in improving your ability to manage your inner critics. You bother because inner critics are relentless & ruthless - always looking for their way in. You bother because YOUR full potential is priceless. So, if you feel stuck or the speed bumps are looking like brick walls. If you are sliding into black & white thinking or hyper focusing on why you CAN'T do something. If you have that whirlpool of second guessing yourself, comparing yourself to others and coming up short. This is YOUR episode. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Are you on the hamster wheel? LEAD YOUR life! A mid year sanity check is non-negotiable for a life by design, not default. Take a moment, TODAY, to stop. Breathe. Lean back & do a strategic review and reset of YOUR big picture. Walk away with renewed clarity & focus to make the rest of the year COUNT. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: I'm always pushing my clients to take a sanity check … a strategic pause. I do that because we ALL are so busy with the DOING we somehow forget about the BEING. The mindless hamster wheel becomes normal. But it's NOT normal. YOU are the boss of you. YOU are in charge. The sanity check is a vital tool in leading YOUR life. I'm YOUR coach today. I will take you through a series of questions to facilitate YOUR own personal sanity check. You can use me to look at your big picture - right across your life. Or you can focus on just a slice or aspect of your life. A career sanity check. A health sanity check. A WEALTH sanity check. Relationship, spiritual, fun, learning! Whatever you choose. Grab something to make notes & capture all of your awesome thinking. You also can gather any new year's resolutions, original goals, plans, etc. Let's do your sanity check!

Are YOU stuck? Do you need a slap in the face or a kick in the ass? Or do you need a judgment free space, some validation & acknowledgement - to be seen & heard? Something else? This episode is about what it might take to get unstuck. It's about looking at stuck right in the face. Truth telling. No excuses. Staying with it until you find a path and the steps to move forward. MY GUEST: Ashley Francis podcast: turning-point-talks-with-ashley website: www.turnstudio.com THE SCOOP: My goal is to use the coaching today to help YOU shake things loose. I want you to find the insights, ahas and inspiration to break free of WHATEVER is holding you back. My client is Ashley. She owns TURN Studio in Sandy Springs GA - a fantastic boutique fitness studio that changes people's lives. Ashley has a background in medical sales & opened up TURN during Covid - fulfilling one of her dreams. Ashley is incredible - boundless ambition and drive, blunt, remarkably transparent and a fierce commitment to solving her stuck problem. But here is my warning - we swear A LOT in this episode. If that makes you uncomfortable, either don't listen or take a deep breath & roll with it. Make sure you have your own stuck area to play with as you listen. I call on YOU - to find your way out of stuck. To play to your strengths, be ON purpose, trust what brings you alive, drop the self judgment and make room for your brilliant, authentic self. I know you might not have your answers YET but I have faith in your ability to find them. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

One of my all time favorite tools - good for any occasion - is the Permission Slip. It's capable of changing your impact & momentum in an instant. As adults, WE are the ones giving out permission now. Except sometimes, we are still waiting around for someone else's say so. YOU are in charge of what you do or don't do. Let's create your permission slip! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Writing out a permission slip FOR YOURSELF shouldn't be necessary, but it can make all the difference. It's a nifty brain trick. Permission to have FUN. Permission to make mistakes. Permission to make a whack of money. Permission to choose a different path. ALL kinds of permission. Like I said, kind of crazy that we might have to go so far as to put it in black & white but I invite YOU to try it right now. Let's create your permission slip!

Today I put the growth spotlight on Nikita Williams. Nikita's story is about the powerful growth that can happen at our lowest points, the dark & difficult times - physically, emotionally, environmentally, spiritually. It's that paradox that the really tough challenges can generate phenomenal shifts. Listen in on how YOU can leverage difficulties for the biggest momentum of all. MY GUEST: Nikita Williams podcast: https://www.craftedtothrive.com/ website: https://www.thrivewithnikita.com/ THE SCOOP: This is a brand new format for The Growth Moment. Part of the beauty of having a podcast is I get to do what I want! I'm calling this new kind of episode a Growth Spotlight. I get to put a spotlight on a guest's most important growth moment. They get to unpack the learning & share it with YOU. It's extremely personal, reflective, full of insight and fuel for the future. My first growth spotlight is with Nikita Williams. Nikita is an extraordinary grower. She is a mindset business coach specializing in helping creative women with chronic illness craft a business & life without sacrificing their wellness. She also hosts a phenomenal podcast - She's Crafted To Thrive. Nikita walks her talk - she lives & thrives with her own chronic illness - endometriosis & fibromyalgia. However, you don't have to live with a chronic illness to find extraordinary value in Nikita's story & her coaching. The lessons are for all of us. Nikita's story is about the powerful growth that can happen at our lowest points, the dark & difficult times - physically, emotionally, environmentally, spiritually. It's that paradox that the really tough challenges can generate phenomenal shifts. As Nikita starts to share, listen to the messages & ideas that are meant for YOU. Think about where YOU might be hitting some dark & difficult and perhaps how you can leverage this challenge for your biggest momentum of all. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Where are you procrastinating or avoiding? Are you feeling drained or uninspired? Today, I give you the power to PAUSE, reset and re-engage your potential & purpose once again. The art of knowing when & how to take a STRATEGIC pause is invaluable. We will coach through four steps that will help you transform procrastination intro progress! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: This is about the power of the STRATEGIC pause. It can be a short one, like putting aside a task or activity for the night - coming back to it fresh, the next day.

Celebration is a way to deepen the moment, lock in your growth and expand into future possibilities. It doesn't take long but it IS a power move. We often shortchange ourselves - rushing past and into what's next without thinking. Instead, let's improve YOUR ability to celebrate yourself and others. Get to the heart of milestones and moments. So, grab something to celebrate! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: This is about the POWER of celebration. The very human need to stop, mark a milestone, acknowledge that something important has happened. For many, it's easier to celebrate other people's big moments - a birthday, anniversary, an achievement, a win. But, the intentional pause to celebrate our OWN moments is often a bit lacking. We tend to shortchange ourselves - rushing past and into what's next without thinking. This episode is a call to action - to improve YOUR ability to celebrate yourself and others. Get to the heart of these milestones and moments. To tap into the power of celebration to accelerate and amplify growth for all. Get ready to celebrate! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

NOW is the moment to RECLAIM your time, focus and LIFE. This is about OWNING your list, your calendar - not letting them own you. We will blow in some fresh air today with a round of do, dump & delegate. BUT this isn't just any old time mgt exercise. YOU get the coaching approach. A deeper, empowered, more effective, 10X bolder approach. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Yes, the topic is Do, Dump & Delegate. But, my coaching today isn't just about organization or time management. Those are the tactics, the surface level. You don't need me to tell you to be more organized or even show you how - go read an article or order the latest book. The deep, strategic coaching is about EMPOWERMENT. Empowered to OWN your life starting with your schedule & to do list. This is where the 10x bolder comes in. So, before we initiate the do, dump & delegate, I want to supercharge you - to AMPLIFY your ability to clear & focus your time and energy. Get ready to Do, Dump & Delegate!

That's the conversation I'm interested in. I want to know the biggest dream that is waiting - right there in the heart of who you really are. Claiming who you are at your core - even if you aren't all the way there yet. MY GUEST: Logan Kovarick THE SCOOP: Who ARE you? What are you capable of? This is why I coach - to move past the surface and get to the depth of YOU. How can you have the freedom to pursue YOUR purpose, passion, path - who you are & what you are capable of. And not be limited by the stories that have been told about you or that you tell yourself. Able to live the truth of YOU. That's what Logan and I jump into from almost the first minute. The BIG stuff. Logan is in his mid twenties - up & coming in Hollywood - big dreams and a deep love for the entertainment industry. And like so many of us, too often hindered by self doubt, questions, a lot of inner noise. As you will hear Logan put it, "I'm the one getting in my way." That's why we all need the questions to cut through that noise, those blocks - the questions that go right to your heart and soul. This episode is about being called to step UP and into what you are REALLY capable of. I want you pondering the two questions as you listen. Who are YOU? What are you capable of?

If YOU ever feel like you are drowning in your myriad tasks & responsibilities, pulled between the different areas of your life, lying awake at night with a very busy brain, experiencing the diminishing returns of too much multitasking and not enough presence, this episode is for you. I'm coaching Amelia on letting go, self permission, restoration time and paradigm shifts. All so YOU, me and Amelia can BE our best. MY GUEST: Amelia Wenger THE SCOOP: Good Lord, this episode hits me right in the heart. It's not the first time that a client's challenge is MY challenge. This is Amelia and we are coaching on the chronic struggle of balance & boundaries … the very real dilemma of how the heck do you know when you have done enough, how do you turn off your work brain so you can be present in the rest of your life? This is an on-going challenge for me - I probably wrestle with it every day. So, this growth moment with Amelia has special personal resonance and relevance. I first coached Amelia when she was in high school with a dream of becoming a marine biologist and we have continued on and off for almost 20 years. She is now a conservation scientist and research fellow at the University of Queensland in Australia with her husband, two small children and a very full plate. She is a leading expert in her field and has an impressive doctorate in coral reef ecology, but I just like to call her The Healer of Oceans. Amelia is passionate, purpose driven, incredibly able and suited for her life's calling. AND she faces the challenge of living that calling with integrity and sustainability. What about you? How is YOUR balance, boundaries, stress level? Do you need to improve how you switch between life areas, be clear on when you have done enough for today, create more space for just you, be present in all of your life moments? Where ARE you on that fine line between feeling energized or overwhelmed? Coming to terms & dealing with ALL that life requires is foundational. What kind of balance do YOU crave? What is the fundamental growth needed in YOUR being to have that balance? Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

This is a big strategic pause! It's about elevating and amplifying your growth - growth for your business or career, personal growth for your next level of health, wealth, love, learning. Any & all. A dive into where you NEED to grow to become who you want to be and have your desired impact on the world around you. Let's see what possibilities are ahead in your Growth Zone! THE SCOOP: The start of a new year! A classic time to step back, reset and think about the go forward plan - whether it's a strategic map for business, a list of new year's resolutions or just a wish list for the coming months. All of those exercises are useful, but today I am taking you in a different direction. I want to coach on your GROWTH. A dive into where you NEED to grow to become who you want to be and have your desired impact on the world around you. Indeed, this brainstorming might result in a few resolutions or action items, but this is meant to be a stand alone tool. A moment for YOU to go deeper, think about the growth most precious and valuable for you. Create some clarity on what matters most. I am going to do a little closed eye visualization, ask you a whack of questions and POKE around in your head and your heart - an Amy K mix. Ideally, I want you to be able to kick back, relax into this coaching & be ready to take notes & jot down your insights & ideas. This is about giving you space to really hear yourself. BUT, if you are in the midst of other activities, you always can write down your takeaways later or listen again. Let's jump in and explore your GROWTH ZONE! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

It's a twist on the usual take on gratitude! Get ready for a blast of celebration, outrageous delight and the unabashed JOY possibilities with gratitude. What would it be like to not hold back - showing your gratitude by how fully you welcome and embrace the gift? ENJOY my gift to you! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: It's that time of year - the holiday season where gifts and presents, giving and receiving abound. Usually my solo episodes are an explicit tool - something you can directly use. This one might be a little more intangible - more of a thought to explore. The thought is around a different take on gratitude. Often a gratitude practice comes from a place of humility. Good & right humility, to be sure. But sometimes there can be a little too much of the 'I don't really deserve whatever I've just been given.' OR 'I SHOULD think I don't deserve it.' The 'oh you shouldn't have' approach. You shouldn't have given me this marvelous gift, I shouldn't have this privilege, I shouldn't have this opportunity, I don't deserve this compliment. As if, when we hold back from fully embracing the gift or downplay ourselves, it will make it seem like we are more grateful. Here's the deal. If someone or just life gives you a gift - freaking ENJOY it. I think this is about PRESENCE with a present. Showing up, deeply connected, here in this glorious giving. What if THAT is what being grateful is all about? But to be clear, I'm not talking about being spoiled, greedily grabbing all the candy in the dish, never giving, only taking. I'm talking about gratitude when you are being given a gift. So, the next gift you receive, tangible or intangible, I challenge you to receive it with that outrageous delight. Eyes shining delight. Huge smile and an equally huge hug. Whether the gift is in a box, a generous action, an unexpected favor, a wonderful compliment, an amazing opportunity or even a windfall of cash - I give you permission to be present and receive with grace, love and bountiful JOY. I ask you to practice that kind of gratitude & feel what truly receiving is all about. I bet it will help YOU be a better giver in the bargain. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

The fundamental theme for this coaching is 'discipline' and Clay's love/hate relationship with it. Lack of discipline is what Clay identifies as holding him back. This episode is not a cheerleading exercise. MY job is to help uncover, raise awareness, shine a light - see if there is a new perspective that my CLIENT discovers. So, what's in it for you? I want you to check out what's holding YOU back & transform your relationship with a long standing block. MY GUEST: Clay Solomon THE SCOOP: Today I get to coach Clay! Clay is someone who LOVES to win. Driven. Highly competitive. Huge expectations for success. He's 32 years old, arguably very successful but is yearning for that next level and moving past what is holding him back. The fundamental theme for this coaching is 'discipline' and Clay's love/hate relationship with it. Lack of discipline is what Clay identifies as holding him back. I want you to check out what's holding you back from next level growth. Not just 'more success' but WHATEVER growth you are most desiring. Indeed, it might be a lack of discipline that is holding you back. It might be speaking up in the world. Perhaps it's something you need to learn, study or practice. An old belief that needs to go. Where do YOU have a 'love/hate' relationship with something that you know is key to your growth? This episode demonstrates the power of shifting your perspective. Looking at something as a 'relationship' helps you step outside of a block - look at it from a different angle. It can be helpful with any block - for example, with earning more money, saving money, any money thing - I often have a client talk about 'what kind of relationship do you have with money? What kind of relationship do you WANT to have?' It's amazing what the relationship lens can open up. Same for any block - money, discipline, vulnerability, taking a risk, speaking in public - anything. Think about YOUR block. What does your relationship to that block look like? Feel like? How do you WANT to BE instead? This approach might break something loose for you, trigger a shift … or not! The point is to play with it. Just like Clay - use your very own metaphors, examples. This is about you. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

Get ready to be an amazing truth teller. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: I am LOVING creating these mini self coaching tools. This is tool #4 and it IS one that I use often both with clients and for myself. It's about the power of telling the truth. A deceptively simple tool, it's just three words. Whenever I feel stuck with a client or buried in a story or a mass of details, especially when a client is feeling confused, conflicted, uncertain - I turn to the TRUTH. I ask my client to fill in the blank with this phrase: The truth is… Those three little words can release blocked energy, help you let go of what doesn't matter & bring clarity so you can make decisions and take action. The truth is solid ground to stand on. You can build on the truth. Now, you might be a righteous truth teller already - known for your ability to clearly & concisely tell the truth. But most of us have times where we avoid the truth, complicate it or layer a bunch of crap on top of the truth. The problem is that you can end up living someone else's life, being what others want you to be, making choices that are fundamentally misaligned with who you really are. That's why this matters. It's awfully hard to live your unique potential & purpose without telling the truth. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

Another grab & go tool! This is for all of the people pleasers who say yes, when it really should be no. The ability to confidently say NO is an indispensable skill. On a scale of 1 to 10 – with 10 being amazingly strong and comfortable with saying NO, and 1 being almost never saying NO – where are YOU? I want to dial up that score. So you can start saying YES to what you really want. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: I love the opportunity to put another self coaching tool in YOUR hands. And 'Saying NO' is for all of the people pleasers out there! Do you ever have that sinking feeling, the disappointment or frustration with yourself of going along with what someone else wants you to do or be. Is your inner self ever screaming a NO but your mouth somehow is saying yes? A good "NO!" can mean the difference between living your life on purpose or living by default. On a scale of 1 to 10 – with 10 being amazingly strong and comfortable with saying NO, and 1 being almost never saying NO – where are YOU? Let's dial up that score! The disease to please is a common affliction and something I often hit with clients. Are you a big old people pleaser? If you are already awesome at saying no, if you find it easy to offer up a decisive and cheerful, "no, thank you!" - feel free to skip this episode. But if you would rather hedge or avoid giving an answer than actually say no, if you do get that sinking feeling & feel acutely uncomfortable with a no, that you end up saying "yes" when you SO mean "no" - this episode IS for you. And also if you just want to dial up your score or grab this tool to share with a people pleaser in your life. The reasons for sucking at saying no can vary. It can come from not wanting to disappoint or hurt others, that you can't say no because no one else is saying yes, or as one of my clients put it, "if I am able to do it, then I should say yes." I find that stress & exhaustion can disrupt the ability to give the strong 'no' every time – a familiar situation in our full lives. And low self-esteem is another culprit – that feeling of not being entitled to say no. Another reason is low expectations – saying yes to something less than desirable because you don't feel like anything better will come along. Of course, the yes might come from not wanting to miss out & a sincere desire to be engaged & get the most out of life - even if in reality it's not possible to say yes to it all. You also have your own unique reasons of why and when it can be difficult to say no. Situation specific. People specific. So on that scale of 1 to 10 – what's your 'saying no' score? Hold onto that during the episode & let's see if we can really dial that UP. Because to me, the ability to say no, means YOU are in charge of your life. You are at choice. You have the reins & you are autonomous. A good NO can make all the difference. Another invaluable tool for your toolkit. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Are you stuck or holding back in a vital relationship? Do you know MORE is possible? I'm coaching Massey Mayo on bringing your full self to your most important relationships. Like Massey, it might be your romantic relationship or it might be professional, your child, parent, sibling or a friend. This is an intimate and vulnerable episode - we go deep today. It takes courage, a certain boldness and integrity to enter the relationship growth zone. The willingness to call BS on yourself - acknowledging that you can do & be better. Get ready to take a bold look at where YOU need to grow. MY GUEST: Massey Mayo THE SCOOP: This is a highly intimate and vulnerable episode, probably the most intimate so far with The Growth Moment. We go deep into relationship territory - focusing on how to bring your full self to your most important relationships. We wrestle with the inconsistency that many of us face in relationships - that we can be so good in other areas of our life, but not always able to access that best self with the people we care most about. How we can get stuck - knowing that we are holding back, tangled up, stumbling over limitations, either/or thinking - wanting to break through to something bigger, better - but not always knowing how to get there. My client today who is courageously exploring her relationship, is Massey. A long time client who happens to be an amazing lawyer, mother to a large family, so smart, extremely independent and capable, also deeply soulful and spiritual. A stellar human being who is willing to take a bold look at where she needs to grow. If you know deep down inside that you are stuck or holding back in a vital relationship - that there's MORE that is possible - this episode is a special gift meant just for you. Like Massey, it might be your romantic relationship that is ready for more. Or it might be a professional relationship, one with your child, YOUR parent or sibling, a valuable friend. I invite you to pick a relationship to focus on as you listen to the coaching. This episode incorporates some core coaching tools - asking 'what do you want?', moving from the either/or into the both/and perspective, overcoming limiting beliefs & paradigms, and leaping out of your comfort zone right into your growth zone. A cornucopia of coaching tools! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

Another solo "just Amy" podcast! This time it's the tool that cuts through all the noise - right to the bottom line. The magic question: What do you want? This simple little question is a game changer as a leader or boss, in relationships, setting goals & making plans, in conflict and collaboration. It's perfect anytime you need a burst of clarity. I will take you through FOUR steps to help you get clear on WHAT YOU WANT! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Welcome to one of my solo episodes! Normally I'm coaching a guest and then weaving insights and tools around that coaching to help YOU grow! But, I got such a lovely positive response to my first solo episode about moving from either/or thinking into the both/and mindset, that I'm adding more 'just Amy' episodes. I hope you find this one equally as valuable. I feel called to share one of my coaching 'first principles' that I use pretty much every time I coach. It's the question: 'what do you want?' Such a simple tool! A fundamental, bottom line kind of tool. Often this is a question that stops you in your tracks. You might be deep in frustration, swirling around in the details of a situation that is challenging, things not going your way. If I ask you to stop, breathe and ponder - what do you want? - it tends to set you back on your heels, switch your brain's direction and pop you out of that swirl or fog right into clarity. So, that is the power tool I am putting in your hands today. A tool you can use right across your life, with yourself and others, in almost any situation. "What do you want?" is a game changer as a leader or boss, in relationships, setting goals & making plans, in conflict and collaboration. This tool is perfect anytime you need a burst of clarity – when you want to shine some light on a topic or area in your life. I find it particularly enlightening for new starts – starting the new year or season, a new job, project, planning a vacation, buying a new car, getting in shape, making a new friend. And it is especially good for sticky, stuck, frustrating, contentious situations. "What do you want?" most definitely belongs in your tool kit. To get the most out of this episode, take in all the information & ideas, but make it REAL. Make it count. Start thinking about an area where you are struggling, swirling or stuck. Or an area that is calling to you, pulling to you - an ambition or desire. Any place where you want clarity and momentum. I will take you through FOUR steps to help you get clear on WHAT YOU WANT. I am NOT here today to help you figure out how to get it. That will have to wait for another episode! We are only focusing on the WHAT, not the HOW. Know that I AM your coach - we were meant to partner together TODAY for YOUR growth. This is for you. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Where do YOU need to dig deep? Are you craving space and encouragement to conceive something new for your life? What do you REALLY want? I coach Sean Steinman, CEO of Resonance Ventures for major self reflection in order to create radical impact. Permission and encouragement to explore. If you have something brewing inside you - you have a dream - I want you to engage. Commit to the process of digging deep. Sooner rather than later! MY GUEST: Sean Steinman, CEO Resonance Ventures THE SCOOP: As a coach, I often have the PRIVILEGE of partnering with a client in conceiving something big - being right there at the beginning. I've partnered on new businesses, career leaps, relationships, education upgrades, creative endeavors from books to tv shows to art exhibits and even new humans - the vision and plan for conceiving a child. And as you will hear with my guest Sean - a movement to transform the world. Sean Steinman is a rare human with an extraordinary purpose and vision. Founder & CEO of Resonance Ventures, a Salt Lake based Real Estate Development Company creating spaces that allow human beings to eat, live, work & breathe. When we started the session, I asked Sean where he wants to grow, stretch and push. He responded that he wants to coach on leading, self reflection & growth with his desire to grow BOTH his businesses AND grow the humans ... from the $15 an hour employee to the highest earners, from inside his various companies but also sparking a larger movement in the world. Bottom line, this coaching is all about an opportunity to level up his leadership and impact on the world. Normally we all are just so freaking busy running something, doing all the tasks, getting shit done - coaching provides the space to take time to step BACK. Move into your VISION, purpose, the impact you really want to have & the WHY behind it. It's your bigger agenda, beyond the day to day. This episode is a giant self reflection moment for Sean - he's a big thinker & we dive into a lot of areas. Totally digging deep. What I want for you is to listen at two levels - enjoy all of Sean's inspiring philosophy & thoughts but most importantly think about where YOU need to dig deep. Where do you craving space and encouragement to conceive something new? Listen for the questions I ask - grab ones that you need to ask yourself. I hope I'm partnering with you right now to conceive something big. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

It's my first solo, "just Amy" podcast. You get my favorite coaching tool - the power to find the Both/And. I'm coaching just you - I will take you through four quick steps to go from all closed up & limited - thinking only within the Either/Or to the wide open, expansive, freedom of the Both/And. I want you to walk away with a major upgrade in your thinking. Upgrading is scene changing, situation changing, LIFE changing. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: We coach around one of my favorite subjects – the deep value in upgrading your thinking. Take a moment to consider how often you get in your own way. Find your path blocked by old and tired limiting beliefs. A chorus or committee of critics in your head. How often it's the "why you can't" – not "HOW you CAN." That's when you know that it's time to Upgrade Your Thinking! Why does this matter? Because your thoughts are the one thing that you can absolutely change and that will impact your life. Upgrading is scene changing, situation changing, LIFE changing. This is about moving from Closed to Open. Accessing the whole of your brain. Putting the power in your hands. Unlocking all YOUR possibilities. It's not new – it's certainly not rocket science. Countless books, seminars, TED talks, blogs, articles are all about choosing your thoughts. There are endless resources for this endeavor. Yet, humans continue to struggle with their inner world – continue to trip, stumble, stop cold at the roadblocks of limited thinking. I have a set of tools that are my go-tos, my favorites, honed over my lifetime and throughout my two decades as a coach. It's not just "feel good" or bullshit positive thinking – it's power. I believe it's your most valuable superpower. So, I want to share my number one upgrade your thinking tool today. I hope to share more in future episodes. I want you to take what is useful, what clicks & you can toss the rest. Think of it as a start to upgrading your inner wiring or programming. My number one is the Amy K classic - Both/And. Anyone who has coached with me either 1:1 or in a group has heard me ask "What is the Both/And?" many times. It's often a quick fix, a magic shift of perspective. And truly, kind of a joy to play with. I will take you through four quick steps to go from all closed up & limited - thinking only within the Either/Or to the wide open, expansive, freedom of the Both/And.

Procrastination. Distraction. You know the hollow feeling of regret for precious time wasted. Whether it's scrolling through social media, watching another autoplay Netflix episode or answering unimportant email - that sense of lost potential can be painful. I coach Matthew Musson on self & time management so he can examine ideas and LIFE deeply instead of trolling on the surface. I invite you to look at your own level of distraction so you can balance the myriad of things YOU want to do & be. MY GUEST: Matthew Musson THE SCOOP: Leaving it all on the field. Living up to your full potential. Not wasting your time and energy on meaningless distractions, less than worthwhile addictions, behaviors, choices. It IS terrifying - the existential panic that can hit with 'what am I REALLY doing with my life & how CAN I change my focus to what matters? This is the heart of my coaching today with my guest Matthew, a super competitive, high expectations, deep thinker 15 year old who happens to be my one & only son. Matt promised to let me coach him as a belated Mother's Day gift - and indeed, I MOSTLY keep my coaching hat on in this episode. It's a big privilege and challenge to coach one of your own. Matt came into the call wanting to walk away with an action plan to excel in his multiple disciplines and to time manage himself so he can balance the myriad of things he wants to do & be. We coach around the almost universal dilemma that I tackle every week with clients: how to drive productivity, how to decide when have you 'done enough' and can take that downtime, how to overcome the endless distractions of this world in a way that's best for YOU and your wiring. Take a moment right now to consider where YOU are with this topic - how is your time management, effectiveness, level of distractions? Are there some adjustments or changes you want to make? What types of structure and boundaries might be right for YOU to maintain your focus, be on purpose. Keep this all in mind as you listen to the coaching. See what clarity starts to emerge in service of your becoming who you really want to be. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

When you hit a milestone in your growth - do you STOP and take a moment to truly celebrate and reflect? Or do you just blow right past it, minimizing what you have achieved? I coach Kelly Kitagawa to not take her growth and success for granted - to really acknowledge the lessons learned. I want YOU to take time to catch up with and integrate your 'next level self' - WHO YOU BE NOW - so you can tackle all your future goals. MY GUEST: Kelly Kitagawa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellykitagawa/) THE SCOOP: As a growth and leadership coach, I work with many high achievers. People familiar with the climb to the mountain top - the striving, pushing, often relentless pursuit of their next level. You might be an aggressive climber or prefer a more relaxed & gradual ascent - you might have just hit a goal or milestone or are in the midst of identifying your next mountain & how to make the climb. I'm here to remind you that a VITAL component of success is pausing at the top to take a big breath, reflect on the journey and CELEBRATE that you are HERE. It's the celebration & reflection that enables you to fully own who you be NOW and then to drive your focus and execution for the next goal. Your mountaintop might be a long coveted promotion, a graduation, a move to a new city or out to the country that you have dreamed about for years, getting married, launching a business, starting a family, publishing a book, qualifying for a tournament, speaking at a conference ... the list goes on and only you know what mountain means the most to you. For my guest, Kelly Kitagawa, the mountain top is an incredible new job that she just landed and started. Kelly is a Solutions Engineer, rising through the ranks in high tech - she is ambitious, smart, driven, with a keen desire to create impact for her clients, team and company. Thrilled but almost a bit stunned that she DID IT - she's here, exactly where she wanted to be and now it's time to focus and execute on this big opportunity. Kelly & I take time for her to celebrate so she can catch up to the moment - reflect on and integrate everything that got her to this new reality. All so she can move forward into her next journey. This is a more thoughtful episode, less straight on coaching. You will feel the space for Kelly to reflect - tell a few stories - hear herself, clarify lessons learned and affirm her growth. I want you to take a look - is it time for YOU to celebrate and reflect on one of your milestones or achievements? Or is it time to grab some of your own lessons learned and gear up for your next goal, the mountain ahead of you? Listen for the insights and wisdom that you need today.

Where is your confidence on a scale of 0 to 100%? Do you want a higher score? What is possible if you move towards 100%? I coach Missy Ozeas to move into the BIG confidence that comes from owning WHO YOU BE. Fully. No more holding back or second guessing. Listen in to create your OWN shift into full acceptance. Stop minimizing your gifts and move into your bigger purpose! MY GUEST: Missy Ozeas THE SCOOP: Today is all about getting out of your own way - moving into your biggest, brightest confidence that comes from owning who you are. No apologies, no questioning or second guessing. Just pure, marvelous YOU. The place of freedom, clarity, joy. The problem is that most of us TOTALLY get in our own way - we ARE our own worst enemy. The self doubt, the questioning, the holding back. The heart of my coaching today is to help Missy step into her FULL power and potential. Missy is many things - a background in film and television, a passion for helping people through various non-profits, including her amazing Los Angeles based Giving Express and for the past 2 years, a thriving energy healing practice. MissyEnergyHealing.com As you will hear, Missy is confident in her abilities and training as an energy intuitive and transformation guide. She KNOWS it's her path. Knows she makes a huge difference in people's lives. The doubt or lowered confidence creeps in when Missy bumps up against people who don't understand what she does, perhaps are skeptical, people who might question. And that's when Missy gets in her head and is less than her full, glorious self. I see this all the time with my clients. How easy it is to question your worth, your right to be and do what you are born to do. All because someone, usually not even a lot of someones, just don't get it. Or because who we BE doesn't fit neatly into somebody else's box. Where are YOU getting in your own way? Think about where you are holding back or second guessing yourself - it might not be a career thing - it can be anywhere in your life. Keep this area in mind - listen for the insights & inspiration that are meant just for you. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.

Feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed by the endless responsibilities and items on your task list? Has there been a whole lot of surviving this past year and not enough thriving? I coach Jessica Clark to sit for a moment, quietly, under the whirlwind of all the doing - facilitating a move into her Bigger Self. This is discovery time! Listen in and start exploring who YOU are at your core & what you want to bring to the world. It's time to THRIVE. MY GUEST: Jessica Clark THE SCOOP: How many times in your life have you felt overwhelmed by the whirlwind of responsibilities, tasks, multiple roles and agendas across your life not to mention hopes-dreams-ideas of what else you want to do? So often, it's all just too much to sort through or make sense of. And it's easy to get paralyzed - to get stuck, unable to start anything new, no what's next - just surviving what's now. This is where the coaching with my guest Jessica begins. As she puts it, she is sitting under the whirlwind of all this STUFF and wants direction, some clarity and action BOTH/AND permission to NOT have direction, to just be in a discovery space instead of needing to know and control exactly what's to come. Jessica is used to leading - directing - controlling. She wears a lot of different hats - Jess has built a group of successful restaurants from scratch, has two young children and is involved with numerous give-back community endeavors. Through it all, Jess has been dreaming of what's next - her even bigger purpose in the world. But, it's been hard to find the time and space to even think about that 'what's next' and 'her bigger self.' As you listen, you get to think about your own whirlwind - what's swirling above & around you? The enormous, overwhelming amount of stuff to deal with. You get to contemplate if it's time for YOU to create space for what's next. The bigger YOU. To explore who you are at your core, what you want to bring to the world. This discovery process requires time AND space. Use this episode to begin your own exploration - a moment, despite the whirlwind, a moment to get a bit of clarity and direction for what might be next. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

When was the last time you stopped to take time to listen to yourself? To create the space to go beyond the status quo into the playground of possibility? To dream about what else you want to be/do/experience/create/impact in your lifetime? I coach Brian Lessinger at that pivot point of hitting great professional success and starting to explore what might be next. I invite you to create room for YOUR next growth zone. All because your possibilities matter. You matter. MY GUEST: Brian Lessinger (Instagram @brianlessinger) THE SCOOP: I love possibilities! I'm inherently a 'what IS possible kind of person.' That is the heart of growth - the space for growth - the ability to SEE, imagine and move into possibility. That ability - the art of what is possible - is a skill worth cultivating - it's pure power. And it's a fundamental part of my coaching - asking clients to think about not just one idea, but ALL the ideas - if only for a moment. To move beyond the status quo into 'and what else do you want to be/do/experience/create/impact.' This is what we are playing with today. I want to help YOU see your possibilities - look for your next moment to grow. My guest is Brian - a successful real estate guy, top of his career and an incredibly hard worker. Brian has the kind of energy that immediately makes me feel good - just to be around him. Yes, he is super successful AND he is deeply grateful, willing to help others and one of the most truly positive people I know. Brian is hitting that point in his career where he has it pretty much dialed in barring unforeseen crises. He has accomplished many of his goals and could easily switch to cruise control for his life. Instead, he is showing up to coach on what might be next. I invite you to use this episode to open up your mind and ponder your own possibilities. Specifically look at where YOU are in cruise control but ready for some 'what's next thinking.' Is it in your career? Or maybe an important relationship - within your family or perhaps a friendship? What about possibilities for the causes and issues about which you are most passionate? Or more practical and just as important - your finances, health, well being? If you can, pick an area to have in mind as you listen - your possibilities playground.

Where are your limiting beliefs holding you back? That faulty internal wiring that blocks your momentum - like a foot on the gas and foot on the brake - leaving you STUCK. I coach Kelly Augir Eveleth to transform the limiting into the empowering. Dig deep to root out YOUR most toxic belief. Free your energy! Let your motivation and inspiration flow from choosing new beliefs. MY GUEST: Kelly Jo Augir Eveleth THE SCOOP: This is the big limiting belief episode! A vital and valuable topic. I have limiting beliefs, you have them, my clients definitely have them - pretty much about anything and everything. Limiting beliefs about work, relationships, MONEY, what's possible, the way the world works, the very nature of who you BE. It's like faulty computer programming - bad wiring - it produces substandard results. I get to play with beliefs today with Kelly. She is many things - a librarian, a mom of three college age & up children, a BIG grower & learner and in the midst of some major life changes. She is encountering some blocks/obstacles/internal resistance. Her goal for coaching is to look at her limiting beliefs and find one or two actions to help step into her next level of leadership in her career. You heard one of her limiting beliefs at the beginning of the episode - "Because of my age, I am not a viable candidate for a new leadership level." Maybe that's true for Kelly, maybe not. What is ABSOLUTELY true is that leading with that belief, that utterly constrictive, limiting, crappy belief will not create success. The door is already closed. As you listen to the coaching, I want you to ponder where YOU have limiting beliefs. They might be below the surface, sensed but not quite seen. Or you might know them well! Think about any life areas where you feel a bit stuck or blocked. Let's see if your beliefs are holding you back. Remember, this show is for YOU - use Kelly's coaching to spark your own transformation. What's blocking YOUR path forward into your next level? Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Do you want to get to that next level? To tap into ALL of who you can be? Your peak performance. But holding back because you are afraid you don't have what it takes, that you can't sustain the high level of performance needed, especially when you have many balls to juggle across your life. I coach Margaret Weniger, speaker & podcast host of Rising Tide, on finding a NEW way to leverage your strengths and bring out your best WHILE creating the balance needed for your sustainability. MY GUEST: Margaret Weniger (Rising Tide Podcast) THE SCOOP: Have you ever really wanted to get to that next level? To tap into ALL of who you can be? Your peak performance. But holding back because you are afraid you don't have what it takes, that you can't sustain the high level of performance needed, especially when you have many balls to juggle across your life. I'm not just talking career - it could be the next level relationship, financial success, dedicating yourself to your craft or passion, the top level in your sport, a graduate degree. As the saying goes, sometimes what got you here to your current level isn't what is needed for the next. It's about finding a NEW way to leverage your strengths and bring out your best WHILE creating the balance needed for your sustainability. This is what I get to coach on with Margaret. Margaret is one of those 'she does it all' superwomen. An incredibly passionate, ambitious, driven sales executive, speaker & podcaster, mother of 3 and mentor to many people. She just left her conventional corporate track to lean into building her dream of empowering women in business - all centered around her amazing podcast, Rising Tide. Not surprisingly, Margaret is hitting a wall - wanting to create something of significance and impact in the world but unsure if she really CAN 'do it all.' Our coaching centers on figuring out a new way - a new paradigm for success that is sustainable. I want to help YOU get to your next level. In a way that fits into YOUR life - not somebody else's life. Where do you want to level up? Where do you KNOW you need to grow, expand, move into what you are truly capable of but are afraid you can't pull it off? Think about where you want some peak performance. Choose a specific area to ponder as you listen to the episode. Is there a dream that you want to go for if you could just figure out how best to tap into your full potential?

Where have you been following someone else's play book? How is that working for you? Are you flowing or is it feeling a little stuck? What is possible for your momentum, juice, potential if you start doing it YOUR way? I get the pleasure of coaching Benen Weir, an up and coming Gen Z thought leader, to help him trust what he wants and play the game HIS way. As you listen, leave behind conventional wisdom and start following YOUR wisdom. MY GUEST: Benen Weir (www.benen.energy & Instagram @benen) THE SCOOP: The whole world is ready to put you in a box, slap a label on you & tell you how to do everything. How to exercise, how to invest your money, how to organize, how to attract a partner, how to run your business or lead in your career. Coaching is always about YOUR way. Your unique, glorious, 'just right for you' way. Based on your strengths, the way you are wired, the way you roll. One of my favorite things to do as a coach is to just sit back & let someone tell me how THEY want to do their life. A little permission to trust your intuition and your gut. This is what I get to do with the amazing Benen in our episode. Benen is an up and coming Gen Z thought leader getting ready to graduate from University. He is creative & visionary - ready to make his mark as a branding and marketing strategist with a Gen Z perspective. His goal for coaching is to walk away with an action plan - to really dive into creating post grad life and building his big ideas - both consulting AND his clothing brand. Benen keeps hearing that he needs to do ONE thing, get good at one area first - but he wants to do it all. That's the heart of our coaching - helping Benen trust what he wants and play the game HIS way. Where have you been following someone else's play book? How is that working for you? Are you flowing or is it feeling a little stuck? What is possible for your momentum, juice, potential if you start doing it YOUR way? Let your own action plans - daily, weekly, monthly, for the year - flow out naturally. Listening & trusting yourself that much. As you listen to Benen - think about where & how YOU can start to do things at a whole new level. It could be in your career or it might be at home or within your relationships. Even with your money or health. I want you to find YOUR way. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Are you wanting more spark, joy and excitement in your work, relationships, learning, life? Are there areas where you feel dull and bogged down in the day-to-day and not sure how to change it? I coach social justice and equity advocate Anna Brickman on this very issue. As you listen, YOU see how purpose is the source of sparkle, joy and excitement. You get to contemplate YOUR higher purpose and what actions you will take to dial up your joy today! MY GUEST: Anna Brickman THE SCOOP: How DO you find the spark, joy & excitement? In a job or anywhere in your life? How many times have you hit that wall of knowing that you want things to be more ALIVE, on purpose, but not sure how to make that happen? And perhaps not taking charge to change it because it's NOT all clearly laid out for you & you're too busy getting caught up in your head and daily life. This is the challenge at hand in our episode. My guest, Anna B., is an absolute bright light! An emerging Gen Z leader - passionately making a difference in the social justice & equity world. She burst out of university, landed a job aligned with what she wants to bring to the world and NOW after settling in, she is dealing with how to stay on purpose in the midst of the real life, day to day work. Anna & I explore what that path looks like - literally how to dial up the purpose & passion to be at her full potential. As you listen, think about your life. Where do YOU need an infusion of spark, joy & excitement? Is it in your job? Or maybe elsewhere - your key relationships, your personal growth or learning, or even your finances/money. This is your one precious life! If the joy isn't sparking - for goodness sake, let's get on that! To get more out of the episode - take a moment to identify an area to focus on & listen for the questions, tools or ideas that inspire your own action today. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Does your Inner Critic ever feel like 800 pounds? How is it blocking your full potential today? As I coach actor-director-writer Scotty M on his Inner Critic, you get to dial up YOUR awareness of the trash talking voices in your head, start to separate from that negative feedback and shift limiting beliefs into truly empowering beliefs. Bottom line, you get to transform the Inner Critic into an Inner Champion! GUEST: Scott McCord (actor, director, musician, writer, producer) THE SCOOP: Whether you are 18 years old or 80, we ALL have a chorus of Inner Critics - from my youngest clients in high school & college all the way up to my top tier leaders across the world. The Inner Critic weighs us down, makes us doubt or second guess ourselves, tells us why we can't instead of how we can, and generally gets in the way of our full potential. Right now … are you scared to go after the cool job, promotion, business idea, new relationship, health or fitness transformation, biggest dream? Where are you second guessing yourself? How IS the voice in your head lately - positive and encouraging OR bitingly negative and demoralizing? In this episode, I coach actor/director/musician Scotty M. on this coaching staple - dealing with the Inner Critic aka gremlins, the saboteur, the committee or the trash talking voices in your head. Scotty is an amazing creative force - he is an actor, writer, director, musician and producer. Seriously talented, he has found success both in Canada and now in New York City. However, like all of us, sometimes his Inner Critic crashes in & tries to bring him down! As you listen, ponder how the Inner Critic holds YOU down. How does it stop your progress, make you hesitate, doubt yourself, show up as less than who you really are? It's time to dig deep and change the message! We ALL have the inherent capacity to shift/transform the Inner Critic. Usually we just need some patience, space, a little time to sort through it. Often you have to get out of your head & into your body, heart, intuition. There are endless ways to deal with the Inner Critic - what I did with Scotty is just one. With that said - shining the spotlight on the Critic is always valuable. Don't ignore them and figure they will go away on their own. They only get stronger! It's when you put the Critic front & center, visualize it, describe it, start to analyze what it is up to - this leads to a breakthrough or epiphany. Listen to every minute to bring clarity to your own blocks and obstacles, figure out what you need to do TODAY to shake up your Inner Critic and hit your full potential.
