[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] BONUS EP#7 –MAKING MEANINGFUL FRIENDSHIPS AS AN ADULT

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

You’re in your forties, fifties, or beyond and you look around and wonder, where the hell are my besties? Maybe you had awesome connections in college but now everyone’s in a different place… maybe you started working on yourself and getting into personal development and they’re still acting like they’re still in college. Or maybe you had kids and they didn’t. Or vice versa. Or maybe you have a friend or two who you grew up with, but you have become radically different people, and often you wonder if you should still be friends. But you’ve been...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#6 – GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF AND YOUR NEEDS AFTER YEARS OF SELF-SACRIFICE

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

If you’ve hung out with me for any length of time, you’ll know that I am often encouraging folks to stop identifying with monikers that feel disempowering. For instance, if you want to get more shit done, you probably should stop calling yourself lazy. Or if you want to knock it off with the people-pleasing already, it’s time to stop saying, “I’m such a people-pleaser”. When we start statements with “I am…” or “I’m so…” we inadvertently cement the very characteristics we want to distance ourselves from. The concept of our...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#5 - HOW CONFIDENCE IS REALLY BUILT (AND HOW YOU CAN START TODAY)

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

Ever see super confident people and wonder how-the-hell they became so sure of themselves? Ever wonder if they were just born that way or if someone taught them or if some life experience shaped them into that person who oozes confidence and self-assuredness? However they came to that state, you could sooo get in on that action, amiright? In this episode, I dig into 6 super easy ways to build confidence immediately. You don’t have to read an entire book or become a totally self-help guru to learn how to place value on yourself… and it also doesn’t have...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#4 - AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE ON IMPOSTER COMPLEX

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

You land your perfect job. And then your inner voice tells you that you are horribly unqualified and everyone is going to find you out. You enter a super healthy relationship with an awesome partner. And then your inner voice tells you how damaged you are, why you aren’t good enough, and why it’s all going to come crashing down in a blazing inferno. You finally finish that graduate degree. And then your inner voice tells you how you were the slowest in the class, probably won’t get hired, and should probably just try to get your old job...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#3 - 3 STEPS TO ESTABLISHING + ENFORCING POWERFUL BOUNDARIES

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you have undoubtedly heard the notion of “setting boundaries”, but have you ever wondered exactly what that means? Or maybe you drummed up the nerve to tell someone (like, your mom, boss, or bestie) how you really felt about something only to be blatantly ignored? (Or worse… not even taken seriously.) How do you actually go about establishing boundaries that are clear, respected, and adhered to? It’s hard enough to broach a challenging topic with someone, let alone follow through on your boundary. Here’s the deal…...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#2 – DOES PEOPLE-PLEASING GO AGAINST YOUR VALUES?

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

Many of us grow up hearing that we “shouldn’t rock the boat”, “open a can of worms”, and that we should simply “sweep it under the rug”. In my not-so-humble opinion, these are all idioms for “shut the eff up and suffer in silence”. These are seemingly noble encouragements for us to keep putting everyone else in front of ourselves and keep people-pleasing our pretty little asses off. Unfortunately, when we chronically stifle our voice, we are sending a subconscious message to our mind that we simply don’t matter as much as everyone else. Taking care of the...

[EMPOWERMENT SERIES] EP#1 - HOW TO MANAGE WORRY, FEAR, + STRESS LIKE A BOSS

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

One. More. Thing. One more thing and you may just lose your god-damned mind. If one more person asks something of you… If one more task gets added to your to-do list… You may just Lose. Your. Shit. We’ve all been in this crazy-ass-stressed-the-fuck-out place where we become, uh-hem, a little less than the best version of ourselves. We scream at our kids when they need something minimal. We lash out at our spouse, or friend, or co-worker when they are just trying to help. In essence, we become somewhat addicted to being super stressed out and overwhelmed. Here’s the unique thing...

[AMY SAYS] EP#500 How to Navigate Adult Friendship Breakups

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You have “this friend”… and perhaps this is someone you’ve known forever, maybe you saw each other through some tough times, but at this particular place in your life, this friendship has been feeling strained, frustrating, and sometimes downright toxic. But you guilt yourself saying, “Well, we’ve been friends since college” or “Am I a dick if I don’t want to be there for her anymore?” If that sounds at all familiar, you are in the same boat that many people find themselves in when they reach their 30s and 40s and beyond. You’ve grown as a...

[EXPERT] EP499 - THE 'D' WORD: MAKING THE ULTIMATE DECISION ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE WITH KATE ANTHONY

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

Every single year, over 1 million women question leaving their marriage. And nearly 70 percent of all divorces are initiated by women. And it’s no wonder – Marriage makes men’s lives exponentially easier while it makes women’s lives drastically harder. It is clear that ‘traditional’ marriage dynamics are no longer tenable for American women. Years ago, I remember having a chat with a friend where she was lamenting that she should be grateful her husband wasn’t cavorting around, cheating on her, abusing substances, or screaming obscenities at her. I clearly remember her...

[AMY SAYS] EP#498 – 7 WAYS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR GOALS

The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast

At the start of every year, it’s likely you get pumped up and excited to make some serious change. You decide on a handful of things that you are GOING to conquer this year, god-damn-it! But what actually makes those goals a reality? Throughout my 15+ years in this work, I have found that noble intentions have very little to do with bringing goals to fruition. Good ol’ fashioned gumption and desire are not enough to make your dreams come true. [sad trombone] In fact, a recent Inc.com article indicated that only 8% of people actually accomplish their goals. WHOA!! 8%!? Well,...

More Episodes

It’s likely you’ve seen psychics or mediums on television or on social media (Hi, Tyler Henry!) but that’s about as far as mainstream media goes in discussing spiritual matters outside of religion. Until fairly recently I couldn’t tell you what the “Four Clairs” are (as in… CLAIRvoyant, etc.) or distinguish the difference between channeling or mediumship. Because this realm of spirituality was demonized (quite literally) for me growing up, I have an increased fascination and curiosity about various spiritual modalities.

Perhaps you are the same. I have found that many of the women I work with are very curious about experiencing a spiritual world outside of religion. Perhaps you speculate about what happens when we die. Maybe you wonder if you are receiving signs from loved ones who have passed on. Or perhaps you would like to learn more about spirit and angel guides. Maybe you even connect with them regularly without really realizing it.

Furthering our series on Spirituality, I give a call to my pal Michaela McGivern who is a psychic, a medium, and an energy healer with over two decades of experience. We talk about Michaela’s difficult childhood and how she dealt with her gifts while hiding them from her family, the easiest way to connect with loved ones who have passed, and how connecting with the afterlife can allow access to unbelievable healing. Packed with woo and even more love, this episode is a must-hear.

This pod explores:

Michaela’s favorite process to connect with loved ones who have passed on
The one spiritual practice she does every single day (and it’s actually super simple)
How nature can be our biggest guide in slowing down and being present
You first place to start if you want to connect with spirit guides or angel guides (no special training necessary)
