MY GUESTS: Robyn Brecker & Karen Loenser Seeking Center: Revolutionizing your wellness + spiritual journey with the best practitioners, experiences and products on the planet!  Follow Robyn & Karen on LinkedIn THE SCOOP: I’m using a special episode format that I only do once in a while - “the growth spotlight.” We look at a pivotal growth moment for the guest, unpack some of the ahas & insights from that time AND look at how it all can be leveraged in the future. Karen & Robyn’s growth moment was working on their first joint project several years ago - a tv pilot that takes someone at a life crossroads and pairs them with different spiritual & wellness practitioners. Think ‘soul makeover’ instead of a house or beauty makeover. Robyn & Karen are both award winning television & digital producers for the likes of Oprah, Discovery & Nickelodeon. This time it was just them - creating a pilot episode with almost no budget, only a single day to shoot, a real deal human, Sarah, who had never met any of these practitioners, everyone HOPING magic would happen. An AUTHENTIC reality show.  Get ready for a rich & rewarding conversation that reveals the heart of what Robyn & Karen are building - their North Star or beacon. Hopefully it helps YOU reflect on your own spirit led path & what you are called to create in this world. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

Carpe diem! Seize the day. A phrase with a built in shot of adrenaline. What comes up for you? Does it feel like an invitation or permission to make the most of YOUR day? Or more like a reminder or even pressure and an obligation? I hope this episode helps you shift into some positively productive Carpe Diem energy. To take charge, grab a chance, say YES to the opportunities that are here TODAY. It’s a short episode, so make it count! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: So, what comes up for you when I say, Carpe Diem? For some, it’s inspiring, exhilarating, motivating. Definitely an invitation and inherent permission slip. Perhaps ideas of how you might seize your day are popping up in your head already. For others, it can feel like more pressure. On top of everything else, I need to go carpe diem. Can I NOT make the most of today - it’s hard enough to just get through my list. Or it might bring up a touch of fear - the whole mortality thing, feeling bittersweet about the fleetingness of life.  Here is the plan: I’m going to give you a specific perspective on carpe diem to try on. To use just for this episode to help you seize YOUR day. Only as an invitation, FULL permission, no pressure and absolutely zero obligation. Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

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 Declaration.   Good luck with YOUR independence movement! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

This is an episode about endings & beginnings. A somewhat self indulgent reflection around my son’s recent high school graduation. I hope it sparks thoughts on how YOU view endings and helps you remember that they always lead to new beginnings.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Today we are focusing on the shoulda. I invite you to put a stop to SHOULDING in your life. I want you to either choose freely with no sense of obligation OR just don’t do it. No more guilting yourself into actions or letting other people or forces guilt you. YOU have agency! Stand up and OWN your choices. What are the ‘shoulds’ that are weighing you down? I invite you today to throw off the shackles of shoulds.  SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Shoulds often SOUND noble, worthwhile or well intentioned. But if you stay stuck at should or keep sputtering out, then your should is too shallow to become a resounding “I SHALL.”  Remember you can try using the following questions/tools to help you move from SHOULD to SHALL: The TRUTH is  ____________ DO you want to do your should? If no, why? If yes, why?  What do you REALLY want?  What matters to YOU?  And when in doubt, put your hand on your heart to find your shall! Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

I hope for you to walk away with insight AND action that will create a measurable increase of joy filled moments. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: Joy has been on my mind. It’s been a coaching topic with one of my extremely high achieving & hard working clients. So, it got me thinking about the nature of joy generally. Is it generated by external factors? Or do we all have the same innate capacity for joy? Nature or nurture? Can we just decide to be joyful? Or do we need to purposefully develop our joy muscles? Do YOU know how joy works for you? THIS is our playground today. We get to explore joy & see what we come up with. This is more of a thinking or pondering episode than a tool.

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?

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.  Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT? My purpose as a coach is to help unlock your full potential.
