Building Something Better
by Amy Jones
My 1000%-braver goal is founding a company and building an app that will change the way we feed on content—for good. I'm a first-time founder who is a life/progress coach + strategist by trade. So I'll be sharing stories of walking my talk in pursuit of this big, scary goal. I'll be sharing takeaways you can use, whether you're building a business or a more meaningful life. This is real, truthy-truth you can learn from and be inspired by. Here's to adventures in progress, feeling better about being human, and the occasional sprinkle of salty language.

The messy middle
Last few months have been teaching me some things and this episode is sharing about that. My Clever Brain desperately wants me to polish this up and come up with something cooler to write here, but I am going to override that suggestion and call this good enough. 🤓 it’s messy here, in the middle...

Being brave
I am being brave right now. Literally. I'm in the experience of being—which is to say actually feeling—brave. It sucks. It's super uncomfortable. Kinda like when you're on an airplane that hits the turbulence that makes your stomach drop. Since I was taking care of myself in this moment by…

Getting sucked into fear
This is a big one. I've been getting sucked into fear quite a bit lately and from some of the messages I've been receiving from our listeners, I know I'm not the only one. To be human is also to be afraid. We may be smart, but we're also designed to get real scared when we do anything new. Or…

Bonus: The Latest
New here? Listen to THIS. By THIS, I mean the latest version of my sharing what we're doing here, why we're building something better, and what the hell that better thing is. Of course, if you've been a listener to any of the previous episodes, you are very welcome, too. It's just that I realized...

Dancing with "DESIRE!"
Extra truthy today. Well, at least it feels that way. Simply because wanting something so bad feels so damn vulnerable. UGHHH! Hoping you can relate. While my DESIRE! (that awkward spelling will make sense once you listen) is bringing Recollect into the world and giving us all a tool to help us...
-
Recollecting your Self
Been experimenting this week—seeing if our little prototype can help provide the right thing, right time according to situation, not solely based on what we're feeling in the moment. Because, fundraising. Fundraising is my latest endeavor and something that I haven't done before—not in this way....

Being in the in-between
The in-between moments of life are rather tough for many of us to handle. They're in between being "on" and looking like we have our shit together. They're in between the highlights and Instagramable moments. Chatting about them today because I was inspired by a few lines in the movie I saw…

Bringing Mindfulness to the masses
Mindfulness is for everyone. So many of us just don’t realize it yet. Mindfulness is not just for some people who are spiritual or privileged or educated. It’s a simple practice of remembering to be present. For the most part, humans are not great at being present—at least not in “modern”…

When something happens
It's inevitable. Whether you're building a company or a relationship or a new habit, things will be going well enough until something happens. It's not so much a matter of if, but rather when. For me, something happened a few weeks ago (I got sick) and I couldn't keep pace. As a recovering...

Feeling all the feels
Life can have a lot of LIFE in it, you know? A lot of intense and often painful things swirling around—for us personally, for those we love, and for our countryfolk. This has been a week of so many feels. So many intense feels. On multiple levels. Wanted to dig into this within a few contexts, as...
-
Wrestling with feeling tired
I know you know. And I'm guessing you struggle with it, too. This internal tussle of feeling tired and feeling like you don't have time for it. Like it's evidence of some kind of failure or weakness. Well, my friends, it's evidence that you're a human person. And as a founder of a company, I am...
-
Deciding what kind of time you have
None of us know how much time we have here on our sweet planet. Each of us gets to decide what we do with it. I've been deciding what to do with mine. Which is why I'm sharing about a decision that I've been weighing this week as I build my startup, Love Saves Lives (which is all about building...
-
Being willing to disappoint
When does disappointing people (or risking it) actually serving a greater purpose? This is the question that I've been marinating on today. At Female Founder School this week, we were challenged to narrow our focus to our early adopters and solving their most critical problem. Doing so is…

Getting better at getting rejections
Y'all. I so wanted this one. I wanted so much to be invited to an accelerator that would have given me an incredible opportunity to learn from some amazing women and immerse myself in building this app for three months. It also would have come with enough money to get this prototype we currently...
-
Discovering that you don't suck
For as long as I can remember, I've had this voice in my head that's been awfully convincing. It's done everything it can to persuade me that I'm not good enough as I am, that people don't care about what I create, and that I'm delusional if I think I can contribute something meaningful. Clearly,...
-
Wrestling with the urge to conclude
We humans aren't fans of not knowing stuff. We much prefer to assess situations, gather evidence, and make a determination ASAP. This is working/This is not working. He's the one/He's not the one. I'm doing better/I'm doing worse. This is a real human thing we do throughout our days in various...

Embarrassed + unprepared is an excellent place to start.
Amy Jones, here. I’m a life coach + strategist who has also founded a company (Love Saves Lives) to build an app that will help millions of us humans feel better. I call it Recollect. It’s an entirely new kind of content feed that serves up the right content at the right time so that we feel…
