Ep 93: Live life full of unapologetic fun with Amy Polly

How well do you really know yourself?   Taking time to understand who you are, without listening to other people’s bullshit ideas of what you should be is the most powerful thing you can do.   That is exactly what my guest, Amy Polly, has done to live her life by her rules.   Amy is a Chief Mindfulness Rebel, TEDx Speaker and ADHD Advocate. We delve into what led her to embrace the world of mindfulness and now want to reinvent it as funfulness. Amy shares the struggles she faced with post-natal anxiety, abusive relationships and how she was always different to those around her. Something she understands more about since a diagnosis with ADHD.   Amy’s life of funfulness has come from embracing those differences and being true to herself.   “You can’t go wrong being true to who you are” – Amy Polly   You'll hear about:   00:51 - An introduction to Amy 04:03 - The emotional side of Amy 06:32 - Amy's relationships with family and friends 12:36 - Amy on mental health 20:35 - Are our thoughts true? 22:52 - Amy on her difficult relationships 28:04 - The power of accepting who you are 31:56 - What is funfulness? 37:07 - Tackling toxic cultures 40:18 - Amy on neurodiversity 46:12 - Old Amy vs the new Amy 51:12 - What does Amy struggle with? 57:22 - Amy on love   Amy’s resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amypolly/ Website - https://www.amypolly.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thisisamypolly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thisisamypolly    Episode resources:   Jaaq.com - https://jaaq.org/home   My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
