Breaking the Status Quo | Amy Cerny Vasterling

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to be yourself in a world that rewards conformity and disconnection?In this episode of Authors Who Lead, I sit down with Amy Cerny Vasterling—a public speaker, author, and intuitive—to discuss her powerful new book and what it means to live beyond the model society presents to us. With two decades of research and deeply personal insights, Amy shares how we become disconnected from ourselves—and how to reconnect with our inner truth.This conversation is one of the most thought-provoking I’ve had, and I know it will resonate with writers, creatives, and anyone feeling the stirrings of something deeper.Timestamp:00:00 Origins of a book on narcissism03:06 Writing journey: from months to years09:25 The status quo of self-deception11:07 Challenging spiritual models globally13:24 Questioning educational norms19:20 Innovative teaching: students as authors23:08 Future book explores time perception23:55 Innate intuition and self-discovery27:34 Rethinking disability and contribution32:07 Unconventional success in education36:05 Overcoming fear for self-expression37:22 Join us on Authors Who LeadFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS📚 Write and Publish your bookCONNECT📷 Instagram🎬 TikTok👫🏻 Facebook💼 LinkedIn🐦‍⬛ Twitter🤝🏻 Apply to be a GuestLEAVE A REVIEW✍🏻 Review on Apple Podcasts✍️ Review on Spotify🖱️ Episode Webpage
