066 YOUR Declaration of Independence - With Just Amy!
I challenge you to write your own Declaration of Independence! From what do you choose to free yourself? A relationship that doesn’t serve you? A boss, job, client, situation, environment that you are no longer willing to tolerate? What becomes possible if you dial up your autonomy, self agency and personal leadership? Life is way too short to live within a framework that doesn’t work for you. Claim the right to YOUR life, liberty and the pursuit of your happiness! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: There comes a moment in everyone’s life - in fact there might be many moments, where a situation finally becomes too much. Intolerable, unsustainable and you need to call it for what it is. Time to declare your independence. This episode is for you, if you are hitting one of those liberation moments - you are contemplating a change. This is a chance to dive in and actively work through a deep coaching exercise. I will walk you through the concept & process of creating your own declaration. The episode is also great if you just want to explore the concept and ponder how an independence upgrade MIGHT apply to your life in the future. I was inspired by the American celebration of 4th of July, reflecting on my country’s Declaration of Independence. What struck me when I re-read the actual document was the underlying format - a self growth template written almost 250 years ago! I found it illuminating. There is an inherent process to follow in crafting one’s own declaration. So, I’m going to take you through SIX steps and read actual parts of the declaration, old fashioned language and all. But then I will explain how the concepts relate to YOU. But, not to worry, I won’t read the WHOLE document! I will summarize & paraphrase a bit in order to get to the heart of the process. Just in case you need it, here is a link to the original . Good luck with YOUR independence movement! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

053 Transformational, Not Transactional - With Just Amy!

053 Transformational, Not Transactional - With Just Amy!
My mantra all this year has been “transformational, NOT transactional.” This mind shift has moved me away from the tactical, practical and “just check it off the list” mode INTO the strategic, inspirational and next level possibilities place. Today, I am committed to helping YOU move from transactional into transformational right across your life. Health. Wealth. Career. Relationships. Anything & everything. Come on & let’s GROW! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: By definition, transactional is an expectation that if you give, then you receive. Nothing wrong with that - transactional is not bad, it can be extremely efficient, it helps to make things simple & clear. But, I find that transactional can also be a bit tight, narrow and calculating. It can slide into zero sum thinking, either/or, even a scarcity mindset. When I get transactional, I know the difference in my body, I can FEEL it. It changes my approach. In contrast, the definition of transformational is being able to produce a big change or improvement. One of the synonyms is “life changing.” Now we’re talking! Transformational is looser, BIGGER, expansive. From here, I can access a multiplicity of perspectives, a longer game, tons of both/and, abundance & possibilities. If transactional is efficient, transformational is EFFECTIVE. It’s not about just checking something off the list, it’s about creating impact. Transactional is down on the ground. Transformational SOARS! What about you? Where do you MOST need a transformational shift? Something financial? Spiritual? A career change? What about for an employee 1 on 1 or performance review? Or something you need to create whether it be a work of art, writing an article, paper or book, practicing your instrument. Or turning a volunteer obligation into a volunteer OPPORTUNITY. Just the daily interactions with the people around you. All you need to do is ask: How CAN I be transformational in this moment? Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

This is YOUR episode if you are conflicted, confused or unsure. Feeling like you have multiple minds on an important topic or decision. IF you are having trouble sorting out your thoughts & getting to clarity - I have a simple but remarkably effective tool for you. It’s the head/heart/gut check. Take advantage of your multi-layered perspectives and knowledge. Leverage ALL of your sources of inner wisdom. Easy, fast and illuminating. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: One of my coaching cornerstones is that my clients have the best answers. BUT, the trick is getting to those answers. The problem is that our thoughts can get convoluted, confusing and conflicted. That’s when I pull out the head/heart/gut check tool. Here’s how it works. You check in with your three key internal sources of knowledge. It’s super simple - you ask for insight & opinions from your head. Then your heart. And finally your gut or intuition. It’s like your own mini board of advisers. A triple shot - three powerful perspectives at your beck and call. What I LOVE about this tool is how fast & easy it is. You ALWAYS have immediate access to incredible insight. These three resources are literally walking around with you ALL DAY LONG. But, the deeper wisdom comes from taking the time to pause, really listen and be respectful and grateful for each perspective. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

051 Time Well Spent - Coaching Matt M
This episode is for YOU if you ever struggle with balancing schedule & spontaneity. If you put pressure on yourself to be disciplined and measure value solely by what you produce. It’s for you if you want to step back and ponder how you can feel more fulfilled, even joyful as you climb your next mountain. Listen in as I coach a very special guest, my 17 year old son Matthew, on how to drive productivity FROM fulfillment, not the other way around. MY GUEST: Matthew Musson THE SCOOP: This episode is titled Time Well Spent. It’s a coaching session around balancing the rigid scheduling & discipline of driving ambition with more space for spontaneity, connection and what makes the journey meaningful. This balancing act is a challenge that comes up with MANY of my Type A, high achiever leadership clients. A real push - pull. The client today happens to be my son, Matthew. He first came on the podcast two years ago in Episode #10 - titled Stop Wasting Time. He was 15 then, in the thick of Covid and going into his sophomore year of high school. That episode centered around Matt’s angst around wasting time, the deep need to maximize every minute and how to best manage his time in order to achieve his lofty goals. I asked Matt to come back on to officially compare & contrast where he is NOW at 17, on the threshold of senior year and all those profound life decisions. It’s always a gift to work with someone early in the game, much less my own child. We explore not so much WHAT Matt wants to achieve, but more HOW he wants to go about it. Let this episode help YOU reflect & refine your life design. It’s up to you … you have to figure out what is integral to YOUR human experience and how to create a structure, a schedule, a LIFE worth living. Being able to truly claim: my time is well spent.

049 Your Bottom Line - With Just Amy!
What’s the bottom line? THAT is a quintessential Amy K question. Because as a coach, it’s my job to get the heart of where you are now, where you want to be & how to get you there. Life is short, I don’t want to waste time beating around the bush. “What’s the bottom line” is such an amazing question. It cuts right through the noise. You can use it anywhere, anytime. So, get ready for a very bottom line episode - short & sweet. A grab & go tool to add to your kit. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: I always warn clients from the get go that I might interrupt in the midst of a coaching session - HOPEFULLY gracefully - to ask, “what’s the bottom line?” Especially if we are getting into the weeds, going in circles, or caught up in a long story or details. Clients know that I will often swoop in with the bottom line question. Coaching is designed to get to the heart of things - pretty darn quickly. The bottom line question helps you get to the point. YOUR point. So you don’t just talk about it, you DO something about it. Whatever your IT is. The bottom line brings clarity & focus. It creates possibilities for action. It stops the circling, ruminating and never ending story. The bottom line usually brings relief. So, grab this tool and practice getting to your bottom line. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

I have a new tool for you - the Spark tool! So, grab a life area that is in dire need of a shift. Let’s find the essence, the heart … the spark of what you want. The spark that can help create what you most desire. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: This whole spark thing came from my own dire need for a shift. It’s June, my son just finished his junior year of high school, summer has started. And as often is the case, MY summer months don’t look or feel any different than the rest of the year. Definitely the same old routine. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my job as a coach - I have loads of personal fulfillment. However, I am craving a break from the routine. Not just time off or a check the box kind of vacation - I am missing that childhood summer feeling. Where it FEELS special, free, full of possibilities. That sounds inviting to me. I want that! But, it is far too easy to leave it at the fuzzy desire stage and just go on as normal. So, I need to coach myself if I want to move beyond desire into reality. I invite you to join me! Pick a life area where you crave something, you want more or just different, you need a shift. Then we find your spark! I will help you identify the essence of what you want so you can use that spark to move from imagination into reality. I am using summer time as my example, take a moment to pick yours.

045 Own Your Age & Stage - With Just Amy!

045 Own Your Age & Stage - With Just Amy!
It’s my birthday month! And I have a gift for me & for you. We are going to fully OWN our age & stage. As my birthday approaches, it’s tempting to try to ‘get back.’ Get back to my previous weight, energy, strength, looks, capacity, etc. I see this all the time with clients - a desire to either be farther ahead or farther back to some previous self version. Basically anywhere but HERE. Now. The point of YOUR power is in the present. So get ready to free up some energy by owning your age & stage. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: What would it look like to fully claim your age & stage? What would you stop doing or thinking? What would you start? Are there obstacles to embracing your age & stage? Maybe cultural or societal norms that don’t match up. Not to mention your own expectations & judgment. What might you do with the energy release that comes with truly accepting who & where you BE at this moment? This age & stage issue is not confined to any particular number. It can happen at 20 something, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and beyond. Some people hit 30 years old & think that they should have achieved MORE - I should be married already, or have a certain income, promotion, house, fame & recognition. Some folks hit 40 and have or do all the things but lament that they missed out on living loose, having fun, exploring, taking risks. Maybe someone hits 50 and spends an inordinate amount of effort trying to recreate their younger appearance and abilities. And on it goes. A whole pile of coulda, shoulda, wouldas. Basically we can get caught in either trying to speed up or to slow down & go back. OWNING means taking your life back from other people’s or society’s models. Defining what your age & stage is for YOU. Don’t waste your NOW experience. THIS is the birthday gift available every day. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

044 What DO You Know? - With Just Amy!
Where are you using the excuse “I don’t know” to stay in your comfort zone? To block your growth, to coast, to hold back? Maybe it’s around career or money, a family situation, a tricky relationship conflict or an important decision. Be stuck no longer! Today you get to find what you DO know so that you are free to move forward. Grab your own question/situation/challenge and let’s GO! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: The truth is, YOU know so much more than you realize! It happens all the time, I ask clients a question and they say - I don’t know. But, if I just wait a beat & ask “but what DO you know?’ inevitably the answers and wisdom flow. “I don’t know” is a cop out, a dodge. It lets us off the hook so we can stay nice & safe in our comfort zone. The growth zone is where you say ‘what I DO know’ and stay put until you hear your thoughts. If you say you don’t know, your brain nods in agreement - YUP, I don’t know. If you say, what I DO know is … your brain is called to fill in the blank, to release the knowing. I guarantee that you ALWAYS know something. And that one knowing leads to the next. Like stepping stones to answers and action. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?
