Hey, there. AmyK here.

When was the last time you attended a wedding?

If it’s been a while, take a minute to recall.

For me, it had been years.

Until this past Saturday.

A sweet, smart family member, and her now hubby, exchanged vows, said “I do” and danced the night away.

It was a beautiful ceremony.

The couple’s dear friend officiated eloquently, the bride’s grandmother [my Aunt] proffered the rings, their heartfelt vows brought us all to tears, and we toasted to the love that connected us all.

It was a precious and defining event that paused politics and personal anxieties, made you forget your worries and stressors, and reminded you what’s most important.

It may sound woowoo to say that love and connection are so critical to our well-being, or perhaps it sounds overly simplistic in today’s complex world, but it’s true nonetheless.

So many of us spend the majority of our time wrapped up in the things that drain us, that keep us feeling isolated & disconnected, that cause frustration and stress … all under the guise of urgency, responsibility, and the fear that if we stop we may lose.

But lose what?

I know, I know, you’re probably thinking:

“Um, AmyK … if I slow down I’ll lose the money, the security, the momentum, the significance, the upper hand.”

Or … maybe instead of losing anything that the world has conditioned you to chase, you’ll find the beauty in connecting with another or your Self.

Maybe you’ll find that sensation of feeling seen & understood, supported and held, or simply not in a relationship that feels hollow and like housemates, instead of Soulmates.

I know a CEO who prioritizes motorcycle trips with his wife every year. Unapologetically.

I know a Financial Wealth Advisor who takes time off to travel with his kids regularly.

I know a Business Owner who schedules girl trips every quarter.

I know a lawyer who takes a day off every month to sit - to meditate - to journal - to walk - to simply be inside her own head & heart space so she can connect with herself.

I honestly don’t know whether you’ll read this, roll your eyes and anxiously go right back to your Inbox.

BUT … if even if for a moment, you think about shifting your priorities a lil bit, and take one step toward connection and love, then a true miracle just occurred.

And that miracle has a huge ROI - both Return on Investment and Ripple of Impact.

To choosing love and connectivity this week.

Heartfelt hugs,
AmyK

Hey, there! AmyK here.

In full transparency, this written post was supposed to be a video.

I tried filming this message yesterday, but Moose had other plans.

He chose, and often, to express his authentic, barky Bulldog Self, 🐶 which is ironically what I was attempting to share. 😉

We’ve all heard the saying, “You cannot pour from an empty cup.”

You’ve also probably heard or read Oscar Wilde’s oft quoted, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”

What I find intriguing is the intersection of these two quotes.

Your energy, your LifeForce, is one of your greatest assets, and how you express yourself plays a key role in preserving it.

Not expressing your authentic self is one of the quickest ways to drain your cup dry.

When you suppress your voice — whether it’s holding back your thoughts, avoiding drawing boundaries, staying quiet to keep the peace, or “going along so as to belong”— you chip away at your energy reserves.

Every time you deny your truth, you weaken your connection with your authentic self and with your heart, creating a gap between who you are and who you’re pretending to be.

Over time, this gap in authentic expression and living out of heart-lit alignment becomes exhausting to maintain.

Only when you honor your voice -- and stand in the fullest expression of your truth -- can you fuel your LifeForce and keep your energy vibrant.

The more you practice being true to yourself, the more your energy flows, keeping your cup full and ready to pour into what truly matters—your relationships, your work and your well-being.

Respecting the needs and authentic expression of your Self is your LifeForce power source.

And it’s a practice. A daily one.

A practice that I learned late in life [early forties], but thank goodness I did learn it.

Now at 52, it’s becoming embodied wisdom. A natural part of my DNA … and it’s STILL a daily practice, one that I’m expanding and simultaneously refining because it evolves as I do.

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic – this practice changed my life. Literally, it’s been transformative, because it wasn’t about doing.

It’s about being.

Everything that we do is infused with the energy in which we do it – including, most especially, the fueling of our LifeForce energy.

If you’re intrigued about mastering this practice for yourself, so you can authentically keep your cup filled, I invite you to check out my upcoming LifeForce Leadership Retreat in Santa Barbara, January 22-25, 2025:

09/17/2024

Have you ever experienced a meeting *so* bad, that literally, you either turned off your Zoom or MS Teams camera and did a silent scream?!

LOL.

I get it.

And yes, decades ago [pre-Zoom], I actually once got up from a board room table, went to the restroom, silently screamed, and returned with a smile. Ha!

We've all been there ... the dread that settles in your stomach when you see yet another meeting pop up on your calendar. 😬

The kind of meeting that drags on without purpose, where no decisions are made, and everyone leaves more confused than when they arrived.

These soul-sucking meetings sap energy, lower morale, and waste valuable time.

Perhaps you’ve experienced one of the following?

1. The Endless Status Update:
a meeting where each team member takes turns providing detailed updates on their projects. It goes on for over an hour, and while it's essential for everyone to stay informed, the meeting becomes a monotonous drone that could have easily been summarized in an email.

2. The Unstructured Free-for-All:
a vague agenda, and before you know it, conversations spiral into unrelated topics. Decisions aren't made, action items aren't assigned, and everyone leaves without clear direction. Chaos reigns, and productivity plummets.

3. The Dominated Discussion:
one or two voices dominate the conversation, leaving little room for others to contribute. Important perspectives are missed, and the meeting becomes a stage for a few individuals rather than a collaborative effort.

The unintended consequences of bad meetings, from decreased morale to wasted time, are tangible and costly.

OR on the flip side …

When a meeting is led ✨ brilliantly, it looks like:

1. Your team is feeling inspired and the ideas are skyrocketing 🎆

2. Time flies by and you meet and even exceed your goals 📈

3. People actually care and you can feel they're heart-invested in the outcome 💖

4. You don't walk away feeling like your soul has been sucked out of you. 🤣

And it's easier than you think to transform "soul-sucking" into brilliant — with the right approach.

So let's GO! 🙌

Come join me TOMORROW, Wednesday, Sept 18th for "How to Stop Soul Sucking Meetings," and get the techniques to transform transform soul-sucking meetings into dynamic, productive sessions that energize your team and drive your projects to success.

Start flipping the script on your very. next. meeting. Cause do you really wanna keep dreading it? (... plus after this class, there's a big chance you'll even be looking forward to it!)

​Join us tomorrow & learn how to have profitable meetings that get results and move the business forward faster:

*6 quick thoughts*:

1) Magical Conversations 🚀 elevate your life trajectory AND 🔥 fuel your LifeForce Energy

2) Your fueled-up LifeForce Energy 👉 Opens Up New Possibilities

3) New Possibilities = 🧬 New Ideas and New Connections

4) New Connections internally AND externally = you see & feel your reality shifting 🌀

5) These New Connections are nourished one Magical Conversation at a time ...

6) It’s Cyclical. 🔄✨ And your potential is exponential.

It ALL starts with the quality of the conversations you're having. Ask yourself:

What Magical Conversations am I having right now,

that are supporting me to ...

✨ Go after the career / the position / the business I truly want?

✨ Grow deeper in my relationships?

✨ Make the hard choices necessary to honor my truth & worth?

✨ Start living the life I want NOW ... rather than keeping my vision at arms length?

✨ Discover what I'm truly capable of?

It’s a practice.

This whole being thing …

This whole elevating your frequency thing …

It’s a practice. THE practice.

A practice that happens … one Magical Conversation at a time.

At the LifeForce Leadership Retreat in Santa Barbara this Jan 22-25th, I'll be sharing how to embody this practice of Self-transformation, so you never feel stuck on auto-pilot again.

You'll get a whole new perspective on how to lead yourself and others, no matter what life throws your way.

After these brilliant 4 days together, you'll be able to coach yourself through each rising cycle of life and career challenges with a set of communication techniques, mind-body tools, Magical Phrases and so much more ... that, dare I say, you'll become a bit of a superhuman.

As Erin shared after our 2024 Retreat …

"The tools and the techniques that AmyK shared, and watching her coach in real time, is something I could not possibly have imagined would be so life-changing.

I knew the SGI Retreat was going to be fabulous. I've been around AmyK, and I just knew how amazing she was, but the weekend just really knocked everything out of the ballpark that I could have possibly thought.

This whole experience is just totally, totally worth it. It is worth your time, it is worth your money, it is worth the personal energy and effort that it does take. This is work! So we're working on ourselves and that is hard sometimes. But the payback is just way bigger than any of the cost. And I’m just forever grateful.
Thank you, AmyK." - Erin Shipp

PLUS, I'll be sharing all this wisdom in a super-fast-tracked way … cuz I spent over 32 years boiling it down to its core essence. So you don’t have to.

And, it gets better!

I’m offering this transformational experience at the BEST price ever right now. And you can grab it here until Sept 25th!​

There are 10 seats available, to make sure we have an intimate group with a LOT of connectivity.

Imagine all the Magical Conversations you’re going to have … with all the brilliant Women Leaders in the group, with me, and most importantly, with yourself -- because that's where all the magic really starts. ✨

And after these 4 days, there's no going back. (nor would you want to 😉)

09/12/2024

Being a "people pleaser" often feels like a noble endeavor, and while it seems good at first glance, it can often bite you in the butt.

And I got bit recently. Ouch.

I said ‘yes’ when I should have drawn a boundary.

My choice to say 'yes' to a friend's favor — when I really didn't feel like it — backfired, because she intuitively knew that my heart wasn't in it. And this created a moment of friction in a dear friendship. 😟

On the one hand, we want to make others happy, avoid conflict, and maintain harmony in our relationships.

However, on the other hand, this constant need to please can lead to neglecting our own needs and we end up feeling overwhelmed and resentful. And that's detrimental to ourselves AND our relationships.

Can you relate?

I get it. I really do.

Setting boundaries is essential for our well-being — but for many people saying "No" can feel overwhelming and stressful. Why?

FEAR gets in the way.

The fear of disappointing others.

The fear of creating conflict.

The fear of being perceived as selfish.

The fear of social rejection. (that's a BIG one ... no one wants to be shunned from the village!)

So you say "yes" when you really mean "no," and allow your boundaries to be twisted and bent over backwards ...
.. until all of a sudden you're wondering where this urge came from to quit your job, change your phone number, and run away to some remote island in the Caribbean to start all over.

Anyone? Or is it just me? 😂

I exaggerate ... but the fears are real. And the burnout is real.

And if you can relate, you're definitely not alone.

As Women, the need to please others, often coming at the expense of our own priorities, has basically been programmed into our unconscious over many generations.

But the GOOD news is, we have the choice to consciously reprogram our engrained habits into NEW behaviors and patterns that are Self-empowering and loving. And love always starts with ourselves before we can share it with others.

So if you've been tempted by that remote island lately, or are feeling a tad overwhelmed by all that's on your plate & have been noticing the resentment creeping in around work, family, & other commitments ...

Come Bolster Your Boundaries with me on Sept. 19th! Cause you *know* the skill of drawing and KEEPING powerful boundaries is gonna kick that overwhelm right outa the park —

and get you back to feeling nourished & balanced with your dignity in tact.

Join us here 👉 www.shegetsit.com/bolster-your-boundaries

To saying "yes" ONLY when it feels like a "hell yes."

Hugs,

AmyK
..

P.S.: And in case you were curious … my friend and I had one of those Magical Conversations I often talk about 😉 starting with the Magical phrase, “I care too much about our friendship to not say …” and we had this amazing reconnection!

We realized we both needed to speak up more. Yay! So now our friendship is even stronger, we’re both wiser, and our boundaries are firmer. These outcomes are EXACTLY what happens when we learn to use our voice effectively.

Hey, there! AmyK here.

Tough conversation on the horizon?

I get it.

If there’s one thing that every single one of my clients has proven to be true – over and over again – it’s that setting your intention PRIOR to the conversation is truly a masterful practice.

It's so simple – yet easily forgotten.

Setting your intention before a difficult conversation can transform it from a daunting task into a ✨ magical exchange.

The energy you bring into the conversation—your thoughts, words, and tone—has a profound impact on how the other person perceives and responds to you.

A person knows EXACTLY how you want them to feel ...
.. by what you say and how you say it.

When you set a clear intention, you’re not just preparing what you’ll say; you’re shaping how you want the other person to feel during and after the conversation.

1) Begin by asking yourself, “What outcome do I want from this conversation?”

and

2) equally important, “How do I want the other person to feel?”

Whether it’s understanding, respect, or a shared sense of resolution, your intention should align with the emotions you wish to evoke. When your intention is rooted in empathy and clarity, it shines through in your words, your tone, and your body language.

Imagine entering a conversation with the mindset that you’re not just resolving an issue, but also deepening a connection.

This shift in perspective can change everything. Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong,” you’re focused on creating a space where both sides feel heard, understood, and valued.

Your intention also acts like a ballast, anchoring you through the conversation, even when it gets tough.

For example, if your intention is to cultivate understanding, you’ll naturally choose words that are less accusatory and more inquisitive. You’ll ask questions, listen actively, and respond with compassion.

This approach can turn what might have been a defensive exchange into a constructive dialogue where both parties feel respected.

The magic lies in the fact that people sense your intention, even if they aren’t consciously aware of it.

When you speak with an intention to heal, collaborate, or uplift, your words carry a different weight. They have the power to defuse tension, foster connection, and lead to outcomes that are not only productive but also harmonious.

Recap:

1) Before your next tough conversation, take a moment to set your intention.

2) Decide not just what you want to achieve, but how you want the other person to feel.

3) Approach the conversation with a mindset of openness and kindness.

You’ll find that when your intention is aligned with positive outcomes, even the most difficult discussions can turn into ✨ Magical Conversations ✨ that create a better future for all.

Hugs,
AmyK

09/10/2024

Not all tears are created equal.

I know you know.

Pain, grief, loss, frustration, anger, remorse … they can all generate tears. Tears which give us the gift of release, of processing our emotions, of healing.

And then there are tears of hope.

Have you ever cried these tears?

They show up …

✨ when you finally feel heard & understood.
✨ when you finally see a solution.
✨ when you finally start to believe in a better path forward.

☝️ These tears are harder for you to explain in the moment, but your body knows.

Tears of hope are unique in their duality.

They embody both the pain of a challenging situation and your quiet, resilient belief that things can and will improve.

Unlike tears of sorrow, which express your grief, or tears of joy, which overflow from moments of happiness ~ tears of hope emerge in those delicate instances when your heart acknowledges difficulty yet remains anchored in optimism.

For example, you might have shed tears of hope when watching someone you love struggle with a difficult illness finally receive the news they were on the mend.

Or, maybe you cried tears of hope when after facing a personal setback, you found the strength to carve a new path and overcome it … knowing you would grow even more irrepressible from the experience.

For too long women have been told our tears make us weak.

Might we just stop with this nonsense? 🙅

And to be clear … I’m NOT referring to the tears that any human, man or woman, use to manipulate another or harm another.

I’m talking about your personal tears ...

» the ones that wrack you when you are alone,
» the ones you experience in a safe and sacred container of friendship,
» the ones that flow when you are grieving, or hurting or witnessing injustice,
» the ones that show up unexpectedly when you are a little nervous, unsteady or uncertain,
» the ones that sometimes surprise you when you go to speak your truth and hold your own.

For some of us … tears don’t come easily. We’re more stoic.

Or just more repressive, but when we do cry … it’s a full-on ugly cry.

Tears of hope can do that sometimes too.

We finally, finally, see a way forward and our hearts swell with possibility as the tears begin to fall.

I encourage you to befriend your tears the next time they appear.
They represent your emotions, and your emotions truly just want and need to be acknowledged.

Your tears are here to help you transmute your pain into healing and strength.

And sometimes … they want you to recognize that hope has returned … so that optimism may even more fully fill your heart.

Hugs from my hope filled heart to yours,
AmyK...

As women, we're often conditioned to not only to feel guilty for having strong emotions, but also to put our feelings aside to please others.

And I'm sure you are familiar with the inner tension and stress this can create.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed with things on your plate lately, like it's difficult not to give in to pressure from work, family, other commitments, and you seem to never have enough time for YOU and even slow down ...

​Bolster Your Boundaries​ is just the medicine you've been seeking. Come take a 90min time-out with us on Sept. 19th and get:

✅ a deeper understanding of WHY you have a hard time drawing and keeping your lines (so that you can create a new, healthier pattern)

✅ lots of Magical Phrases and other practical communication tools to help you articulate your boundaries so they can't be messed with

✅ tools on how to set powerful internal boundaries PLUS proven somatic techniques to help your body move through physical discomfort when saying "No"

Even though many of us women have struggled with boundaries ... the GOOD NEWS is that it's absolutely possible to rewire ourselves to feel confident setting boundaries AND to embrace our emotions as a tool for our growth and evolution.

Sound fabulous?

09/06/2024

Ever have a couple of days where everything that could go wrong sorta annoyingly did?!

I’m NOT talking about the big stuff …
.. the tragic days, or the grief or shock-filled days …

I’m referring to:

the flat tire, the stye in your eye, the fuse that blew, the smoke detector that went off in the middle of the night, the empty tank of gas your teen left for you ...
.. the allergies that made your head feel like it was in a vice, the glass bottle that slipped from your hand in one second and the forty minutes it took to clean it up …

Those kinda days.

As in … the small stuff, but still, the frustrating stuff.

I get it.

Oh, trust me, I do indeed.

You may find yourself exasperated, perhaps even on the verge of tears or anger -- maybe at some point you even feel a lil rage.

As in, “Really, the dog stepped in his own p**p and just tracked it all over the house?!”

True story. Fun times.

And then, in the middle of your “woe as me” moment, a thought creeps in:

"I shouldn't be feeling this way. Other people have it worse. So much worse. How can I even be upset when there’s so much bigger pain happening in the world right now? What’s wrong with me?!"

That tension, right there, that tug of war between your own frustration and the guilt you experience for even feeling frustrated can be draining — leaving you caught in your angst or just plain “off.”

AND on top of that, you're wondering why you can’t just be more grateful more of the time. Ooof. 🤦

First, you’re not alone.

Second, we all have tough days and pretending we don’t doesn’t make the world a better place or any of us a better steward in it.

Stay with me — because I know you, and you might just be shaking your head in disagreement with me and thinking,

“Please, we all just need to get our heads out of our asses and get a grip.”

I’m not necessarily disagreeing that a perspective shift is needed … I just want to share a more effective practice than beating yourself up — which just delays the shift you truly desire.

Immediately comparing your day to another’s day isn’t the best first step. As in, many of us experience the guilt and want to jump straight to,

“I’m not allowed to feel disappointed, I had a warm meal tonight.”

- Or -

“I shouldn’t get upset about this thing in my life, look at the headlines.”

As strange as it may sound, it’s actually NOT “selfish” or “wrong” or “bad” to first acknowledge your real human emotions.

They’re valid. You are having a rough moment.

In fact, the sooner you honor your emotions, the sooner you begin healing and re-centering yourself so you can move forward faster toward resiliency and a more expansive heart.

Once you’ve invited your feelings to dinner, so to speak, and allowed them to have their say, thank them. Seriously. Thank them, and let them know they’ve been heard and that you know they are simply trying to help you.

Whether it’s to help you heal, or course-correct, or show yourself more love, or set a boundary, or manage your energy, or say no to the nonsense, or whatever …
.. acknowledging your feelings helps you to transmute them into something good.

Now that you’ve been a compassionate witness to yourself, you’re ready to begin cultivating a broader perspective -- one that shifts your focus and elevates your energy.

Journaling can be helpful, but if you aren’t a fan, then perhaps you might take a lil walk with yourself and contemplate the following questions to help you navigate the tension between understandable human frustration with your own challenging circumstances, and any guilt you have for feeling your feels.

1) How might I fully embrace & process my emotions, knowing that self-love and healing will strengthen my resiliency & ability to serve the world?

2) What practices might I use to heal my pain while deepening my empathy and readiness to help others?

3) How can processing my struggles today better prepare me to support others tomorrow?

4) What five blessings can I truthfully recognize right now, even amidst tough circumstances, to shift my perspective, my story, and shift my energy too?

By allowing yourself to feel your feels first, to take a moment to transmute your pain into power, and to then shift your perspective outward —

you can move through challenging emotions with greater grace, honoring your experience while keeping sight of the bigger picture.

And that’s a pretty darn magical conversation to have with yourself.

Hugs n hugs,
AmyK ...

Some of the most important conversations are the ones we have with ourselves, and it always starts with being real & raw about what we truly desire to change — and ELEVATE — in our lives, such as:

"I want to STOP letting that difficult person in my life "get" to me and let go of the tension I feel around them once and for all."

"My energy has been low lately, and I'm ready to create the necessary mindset shifts and actions to bring myself back to my full vibrance again."

"I'm feeling overwhelmed and have no time to myself. I must learn to draw proper BOUNDARIES — and uphold them — for my own health and wellbeing."

"I'm so over wasting my time in Soul-Sucking meetings. I'm ready to take the lead, reclaim my time & energy, and create inspiring & engaging meetings instead!"

☝️ So which Magical Conversation will you have with yourself next?

Not all conversations go as planned.

Yep. I get it.

Sometimes, discussions veer off into negative, unproductive, or even harmful territories.

The good news is, if you don’t like the way a conversation is progressing, you have the power and choice to change it.

*Work Example*: Turning a Negative Gripe Session into a More Productive Meeting

Imagine you’re in a team meeting at work, and the discussion is dominated by complaints about a recent project failure. The negativity is palpable, and the meeting seems to be going nowhere. Recognizing this, you decide to change the course of the conversation.

Step 1: Acknowledge the Emotion – You might say, “I can see we’re frustrated, and I get it. We absolutely want to deliver excellence, and I appreciate everyone’s feedback.”

Step 2: Offer a Positive Outlook – You might say, “I know we value everyone’s areas of expertise and contributions, and I know we’re all committed to making things right going forward. Let’s create a plan to address our concerns and ensure we move forward better for next time.”

👉 By acknowledging the team’s emotions,

👉 redirecting the focus to constructive solutions,

👉 and reinforcing a positive outlook,
.. you transform a potentially damaging downward-spiraling conversation into a collaborative problem-solving session.

I’m not saying everyone’s going to respond with unicorns and rainbow affirmations, BUT you are shifting the tone and tenor to focus on solutions without creating additional blaming or unnecessary defensive postures.

----

*Personal Example*: Diffusing a Friend Dispute

Picture an intense discussion between two of your friends who are clearly taking opposing sides about another mutual friend’s decision. Voices are raised, and the atmosphere is tense. They want you to pick a side too. You recognize the need to change the conversation’s direction for a healthier dynamic for all.

Step 1: Validate Feelings – You might say, “It’s clear that we all care deeply about our friend. Might we agree we want to be supportive first and foremost?”

Step 2: Create a Safe Space – You might then offer, “I know we each feel strongly, and we have differing ideas about how best to show support. I’m curious, what prior experiences are shaping your perspective now?”

👉 By validating emotions,

👉 identifying a shared commitment to a positive outcome,

👉 and redirecting for greater understanding [instead of more posturing],
.. you help to defuse tension and foster a more harmonious environment.

Again, I’m not saying everyone’s going to respond with “Sis boom bah,” but you are shifting gears and re-setting the conversation for understanding & connectivity.

----

As you well know, conversations are dynamic and reflect your energy & intention.

Whenever you are in a conversation that doesn’t feel good, and you want to make it more magical, consider how you might:

1) acknowledge emotions,

2) reframe negativity,

3) set a boundary,

4) and/or actively listen.

You truly have the power to change the direction of a conversation, creating healthier and more constructive interactions and outcomes – at home and at work.

If you’ve heard me say it once, you’ve heard me say it a thousand times –

"Life happens one conversation at a time."

Which is exactly why I’ve created the Magical Conversation ACADEMY – to share with you the exact Magical Phrases, Questions, and Communication Techniques that will turn avoidant, awkward and difficult conversations …
.. into truly Magical ones.
