You’re Missing What’s Going Right in Your Life — Life Lesson Quotes — Amy Koford | Ep 117

On this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Amy Koford—also known as Amy the Happy Hypnotist—for a lively, enlightening conversation about perspective, gratitude, and the sheer power of our thoughts. Amy’s favorite guiding question, “What is going right in my life?” becomes much more than a mantra as she shares the transformational journey from stay-at-home mom to motivational hypnotist and author. We dive into how, even in dark times, the act of intentionally seeking out what’s going well can shift your mindset, cultivate gratitude, and reduce stress. Amy reveals how gratitude isn’t about ignoring hardship but about creating the mental space for resilience and renewal—even sharing her own story of overcoming a year-long illness. For anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, this episode is a gentle yet profound reminder that we find what we look for. Amy’s story and insights will leave you inspired to reframe your challenges and discover the many things still going right in your own life.Connect with Amy KofordWebsite: https://www.amykoford.com/If Relatable Wisdom speaks to you—if a quote shared makes you pause, smile, or see things differently—consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
