What if Courage IS Awareness? Exploring Awareness as the Opposite of Fear and the Key to Everything
In this return episode of The Key to Courage, we explore the idea that courage is not only about bold action or bravery…it is about having awareness and the willingness to see what is true within ourselves, around us, between us, behind us, and ahead of us. Through a passionate conversation with real life stories, we widen the conversation around courage by exploring 5 essential categories in becoming more courageous through awareness, including: 1) self-awareness, 2) awareness of the systems and technologies shaping modern life, 3) awareness of the world around us, including the natural world and animals, 4) awareness of other people’s lived experiences, and 5) awareness of history (the WHOLE stories, without censorship). Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to understand awareness not as overthinking, but as the opposite of fear. It is a courageous and deeply human act of care, responsibility, empathy, and return. At its heart, we remember that we cannot face or heal what we refuse to notice, protect what we do not value, connect with lives we do not try to understand, or stay human in a changing world without learning how to pay attention. If Courage is the door, Awareness is the key. The question becomes, are you courageous enough to turn it?

Coping With “Future Memories” Lost When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned
Life has a funny way of working out. And, by “funny,” I mean it’s also sometimes harsh and cruel. In relationships and circumstances, we often have a movie reel in our mind of how things will turn out in the years to come. But in the case of sudden change, we are forced to let go of this vision as a possibility. Divorce. Death of a loved one. Job loss. Natural disaster. All of these events force us to deal with a large amount of front-facing trauma. As a result, often these “future memory” reels, that we’ve already lived in our heads, hit us later on unexpectedly. In our mind, we’ve had the house, the life, the pets, and the kids. We’ve gone on vacations, had holidays, and grown old together. We’ve excelled at the job and earned accolades galore. Only to be faced with a new reality of different. And we wonder…does anyone else understand? How can we move on? Will we ever have that again…or for the first time? In this episode, we de-stigmatize the mourning of this loss, discussing how to allow ourselves to honor future memories lost, then heal, learn, and grow from them. These futures that will now never occur as we imagined them are still a part of us. They show us bits and pieces of who we are, what we want, and what we’ve been through. If we choose to use them as a guiding light, we can more fluidly flow into the new life we are now meant to live.

Not Alone in Feeling Alone: Coming Together to Face This Hidden Beast
I have spent an awful lot of time over the last few years feeling very very alone. Alone is different than solitude. It is different than independence. It can be experienced with a crowd or a partner, or family who maybe doesn’t see you, acknowledge you, or believe in you. Alone can be all in your head (which is normal) or out for the world to see (also normal); and it can be hard to get out of, especially if it has become a part of your survival, which for many of us it has. Through our trauma. Through covid. Through a divorce or breakup. Through being denied our identity. Through what we are all going through right now. Yet there are people who don’t understand. Alone, to them, looks like independence, freedom, or defiance. What they are perceiving is what I call selective solitary. Flying solo. ALONE is something entirely different. In this episode, we point out the differences, difficulties, and challenges that many people may not realize are inherent in feeling alone and then talk about how to come out of it. We also talk about your courage. For this one, I am learning and feeling right alongside you. Let’s come together and begin. For more help and support than I can give, please reach out to 988 or any number of professionals and resources readily available to help.

What My “Bear-Maul” Scar Can Teach Us About Hatred and How Acceptance Helps Us All
Sounds pretty nasty, right? Well, I hate to disappoint, but my scar wasn’t actually from a bear attack. But the story behind it, and the lesson it can teach us pertaining to hatred and rejection, is invaluable. In this episode, we delve into the category of automatic assumption, judgment, and misunderstanding; then, using my body’s rejection of sutures thinking they are not good for me, we talk whole-heartedly about how we can, instead, choose to ask questions, open our minds and hearts, and self-reflect in order to challenge and overcome bias and hatred, something that is better for us all. We go through a list of 8 ways to more actively and compassionately understand one another, move past any hang-ups, give back, and realize the GOOD in our differences. At a time when we need understanding the most, let us come together to explore how we can defeat the nasty beast of hate by learning how to listen, embrace, and love.

What Do We REALLY Need? 11 Essentials we can all agree upon and how to find (and use) them
We all need things. Money. Housing. Food. But what about the real things? The things that matter to us on a deeper level? Yes, it all matters. You may be thinking, Amy, those things allow us to live. Yes, they do. We need to pay bills. We need to eat. But, especially now, when life is quite loaded, full of hardship, challenge, and chaos, we often find ourselves feeling tossed, inwardly deficient, and not always clear as to what we are actually missing. And TIRED. We all feel so tired. So, how do we fill that cup? What do we fill it with? This week’s episode goes to the heart and core of these missing essentials that we should strive to allow ourselves amidst all of this mess. We address everything from feeling seen and heard, to finding your fire and what feels like home. Above all, we talk about what is imperative for everyone - feeling safe and secure - and how we can help others feel the same. We acknowledge our own needs, and the same needs in others, and apply this awareness to all 11 essentials. Get ready to finally feel our common ground (and relief!) and see how we can use this coming-together as a way to get through, stepping forward, toward and into the light.

The Squashers of Confidence and Creativity (and how to overcome them)
In this episode, we get real about five of the most common and pervasive squashers of our self-confidence and creativity, often encountered on the road to…well, just about anything. Then, we shift our perception of these energy-suckers in order to empower ourselves to take back what is ours. We live during challenging times, when out-of-the-ordinary is hard enough; add naysayers, doomsdayers, and the barrage of negativity we cannot seem to avoid (especially when we want to stay informed). Achieving - or even focusing on - our dreams can feel impossible. But when we expose the major things holding us back or tearing us down, we regain our power. This conversation will help you feel less alone in this journey, shaking the hold and clearing the way so that we can allow your creativity to shine and thrive.

“My Weakness is My Strength.” Say It. Because It’s Time to Turn This Thing Around.
It sounds cliché. But in this tumultuous time, when many of us are feeling disempowered and overwhelmed, the things we typically see as weaknesses may actually be or point to our hidden strengths. After an unplanned month-long hiatus, I use myself as the example, diving right into discussing how the main four “weaknesses” that have kept me away can be rephrased and re-perceived. Specifically, we address: 1) Overwhelm 2) Sensitivity to energy 3) Perfectionism 4) Insecurity; feeling weak, beat-down, and unsupported Of course, this is not an exhaustive list. The biggest underlying strength is in our awareness, self-kindness, and the willingness to see the benefit in how we are operating and, then, switch into the advantage it can become. Join me for this invaluable approach to empowering us all for what we currently face and what may lay ahead.

Feeling Powerless? Here’s How to Take Back Your Strength.
With the world - and our lives - feeling tossed, it is easy to feel weak, disempowered, vulnerable, and at a loss for what to do. We start to turn inward, bury ourselves, blame our “shortcomings,” or fight amongst one another. But we have strength. SO much strength. We just need to realize and remember it. There are those in power who want us to feel powerless. Yet we are anything but. This episode is a reminder of what strength we have (I point to 5 major things you can use straightaway) - what we have built, what we are learning by getting through every day, and what we can choose to become in order to be even more powerful for our causes of good (and to simply get by and feel better). This episode is also a much-needed bit of light, of hope, and a lift, to help us stay the course, feel less alone, get on track, and believe in ourselves and one another, and the power that we all have to make things right.

Finding Your Courage (Because It Is Time)
We all have courage within. But sometimes we forget. And we are now in a time when we need that courage more than ever. So, where do we find this hidden courage? Sometimes, it is in day-to-day acts - standing up for yourself or a friend, making big decisions, taking chances. Sometimes, it is in big, bold life changes and moves. In this unplanned episode, we get to the heart and purpose of this podcast. I use myself as the raw example, telling the stories of two of my biggest acts of unexpected courage to serve as a reminder of how you can find your own (and that you WILL). Come join in the crazy tales and use them as inspiration for your own daring move to embrace the fact that you deserve the life you always dreamed of.

We Can Get Through This: Stepping Out of the Shadow of Disempowerment
The onslaught is real. Right now we are all feeling it. One thing after another is coming at us, in our personal lives, on the world stage, and even at the level of freedoms we already thought were won. We feel overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude and number of things, while at a loss for what to do in order to overcome. But it is a tactic. It is meant to do exactly this. To take away our power. In this episode, we expose how, why, and how we rise above it. We get right into addressing this intentional shadow of disempowerment - nothing new, by the way - and discuss how we might step our way back into our still-existent power. By the end of this episode, everything won’t be magically “fixed”…but we will have a new understanding, a feeling of being seen, and a surge of empowerment for the things we CAN do to help us ALL through and feel more in control because of it.

How to Heal Better, Shine Brighter, and Take Chances Worth Taking: The Power of NeverBroken Belief
The world feels pretty broken now. And so do we. But what if I told you that you are NeverBroken? What if you knew that fact all along? It may not change how we feel (we still go through the tough stuff). But it can change how we heal and, ultimately, it can change our entire approach to life. In this powerful episode, we talk about why we are taught throughout our lives that we can break; then, we bust that myth and lay the groundwork for an entirely new mindset, where YOU are at the core, fully whole. Because you, as an innate identity, are NeverBroken. No one can touch that, unless you believe it. So, the key is getting you to believe in your neverbrokenness - and believe in yourself - as the powerful, beautiful, unique YOU that you are. From there, better healing, brighter shining, and limitless possibilities abound. In this discussion, we cover the hows, the whys, visualizations, and usable strategies to apply this concept in your everyday life. As a result, we revolutionize your world and empower you to see yourself as the greatness that you are for exactly who you choose that YOU to be. Welcome to The NeverBroken Project, paving the way for a brighter day, for all. For more of this good mess, follow Amy on TikTok, Threads, Insta, and Facebook, @amyriseinfinity.

Scared of Self-Aware? Here’s Why, the Benefits, and Why We Need You More Than Ever
We are in another pandemic - this one, a lack of self-awareness, leading to the agendas of few being touted, regurgitated, and spewed as the desires of many. Why? Because people are scared of themselves. Self-examination and realization can be hard, especially when what we might see and learn about ourselves could be different than what we intended or know on a deeper level to be true. This episode seeks to expose the trip wires in order to hopefully take a bit of the fear out of the equation and, ultimately, convince us all of the benefits. We focus on the greatest contribution - YOU. Only you can give what you are uniquely made to give to the world; and that can only happen when you face the fear and give yourself permission to find and live into the best and most authentic version of yourself (and, as a result, follow your own path, not the path of others). We need you. So, come onboard the self-awareness train. It’s truly an amazing ride and will pay off in spades. See you there! For tools to help you on this journey, find many at AmyInfinity.com.

Why Words Really Matter: A Talk About Intention, Meaning, Respect, and Change
Words matter. We’ve heard it said before. But now, more than ever, words hold sway in everything from family discussions and casual encounters, to the success of political campaigns. But it is more than just the words at face value and the topics discussed. Words hold POWER. And there is no place that they hold more power than in regard to our beliefs and identities. In this episode, we dive into this power, discussing everything from the vernacular in wishing someone happy holidays, to pronouns, gender roles, and names. We discuss, most deeply, the psychological effect our word usage in upbringing into adulthood has had on decisions we make and what we believe. We talk about how these words have affected everything from elections to our own fight for gender equality. Be prepared to question why you believe what you believe and explore whether or not we need to be looking at changing some of our most deep-seated traditions.

Even Barbie Has a Man’s Last Name…Why This Matters to Gender Identity, Gender Equality, and a Whole Can of Worms
Yes…yes, I said it. Even Barbie has a man’s last name. Why do I point this out? Why is it important? Have a listen! In this episode, we dive fully into an exploratory conversation about gender identity, gender equality, and how deep-seated beliefs and systems have affected - and continue to affect - the pursuit and fight for freedom in self identity and equality for everyone. Considering my own experiences with name change, we use this topic as an example of very “acceptable,” and yet quietly unaddressed, archaic systems (in this case patrilineal surnames) that we cannot deny may have had, and still have, lasting effects on our psyches, particularly as women, nonbinary, and transgendered individuals (not to mention many other inequalities that still exist). The bigger point of the episode is addressing the need to have these kinds of conversations. Everyone has a right to choose in the matter of traditions (cultural, religious, and otherwise); but when it comes to automatic systems, the fact that some are still so outrightly gendered and lopsided, it makes it imperative that we discuss the effect that these systems, traditions, and certain semantics have had, and continue to have, on our own self-perception, the minds of our children, and the barriers these may pose to our own impression of what is acceptable and possible. Buckle up for a very heartfelt and passionate immersion into this more-than-worthy and timely topic.

Piercing the Veil and Paving the Way to Truth, Your Dreams, and Equality
Wow, this episode is a big one, and a long time coming. We go straight for the heart of the matter - we all have certain veils and toxicities that have intentionally and unintentionally affected our beliefs and perceptions, both regarding ourselves and regarding the world around us (that have greatly affected our life’s path up to this point). In order to be our truest and most authentic selves, it is imperative that we bring these barriers and false guides into the light, both in discussion and through self-realization. So, here, we dive right in. We discuss the effect of a number of veils on our own life pathway and pursuit; and, in light of current events, we focus on the effect that they have had in the fight for gender equality. Ultimately, we talk about how to pierce, lift, or blow aside these veils in order to see and live the actual truth of our own beliefs. Whether you are feeling lost in the pursuit of your best life or needing a boost of empowerment in your rise into equality, you won’t want to miss this one.

The Benefits of Being a Dangerous Woman
In this episode, we start out talking very candidly about what it means to be tagged a “dangerous woman,” hitting on many of the underlying hurdles in the ongoing fight for gender equality. We discuss how words truly matter and are, quite often, weaponized in order to influence, disempower, and demoralize. We, then, dive right into exposing the double standards, particularly in light of women seeking to take on leadership roles. We discuss positive and empowering qualities often held by “dangerous women,” flipping the script into positivity and demonstrating how these features work to our advantage, not disadvantage. Lastly, we list off seven very clear benefits of being a dangerous woman, dangerous in the sense that we rock the boat, tip the ship, and dare to step and move us forward into an era of more compassion, discussion, courage, and equality - for everyone.

Challenging AND Amazing? It’s Okay, It Can Be Both
In this mini “nugget,” we talk briefly about how life can serve you both lemons and lemonade AT THE SAME TIME. And that’s okay. It’s called life. The challenge is to keep moving forward and to appreciate the lemonade while plowing through the lemons and not letting them pull you off course. While acknowledging rough stuff, we reflect on the benefit of gratitude in the mix and embracing life at every stage as much as we can.

Body Barriers to Mindset and How to Overcome Them
Without even realizing it, we are susceptible to body barriers that block even the most resilient of mindsets. Our thoughts and feelings about our bodies, our condition, and even our position affect our ability to achieve all we are able and want to. In order to overcome these barriers, we need to address them and then give ourselves permission to deal with them (kindly and gently). In this episode, we face it all head-on. First, we outline the most common of these body barriers, using an easy-to-remember acronym, DTOOLLS: D - Down T - Tired O - Old O - “Out of Shape” L - Less than L - Lack S - Sickness/Pain We go through them, one by one, to emphasize the importance of acknowledging their effect on us, both in mind and body (and how they are intertwined); then, we talk about strategies to take away their power in order to allow our greater mindsets to do their jobs and rule the day.

Living Outside the Box - A Powerful Reframe for You to Rise
We all know it sucks to not feel supported, especially by those we think love us. And for some reason, some of these people in our lives can’t help but punch holes in our dreams. Every chance they get, they find the flaws rather than encourage us to keep going. What gives? This short nugget episode lays it out plainly - you are “outside of the box” while others are inside. And that’s okay. It doesn’t mean that they don’t care for you. In some cases, that is their way of showing it. But - I can attest - it feels lousy, either way. The key thing to understand is that you and they are very different in your way of thinking. If they were to support, encourage, or help you, by doing so, they would risk exposing their own limited thinking. We talk about this notion and a few other possibilities to help you reframe, going from something that feels bad and hard into something that should help you re-perceive and rise above.

How to Step into Who You Really Are (and Why You Should)
It’s not always an easy road, to find the version of you inside that feels most authentic and true. Because sometimes we’re trapped.

Finally putting ourselves first is a very personal decision, but one that I hope you decide to make. This episode is here to help. We get honest about easy, relatable ways that you can start diving in right now. Because you - the real you - is definitely a gift worth recapturing.

It Really Happened - The Importance of Validating Your Own Life Experiences
There’s often much that goes on unacknowledged and unaddressed, both in our lives and in our heads. We experience things, then somehow end up feeling as if those things never happened. We end up feeling unimportant, overwhelmed, lost, forgotten, invalidated, and, sometimes, very, very alone, even while surrounded by people. This episode cracks this issue open in order to validate ALL of our life experiences. We talk about: WHY we feel this way. WHY it is so important to validate ourselves and what we experience, from the large to the seemingly small. HOW we can begin to acknowledge it all and feel much more real. and HOW this will absolutely empower us and help us step into the next. As a part of this discussion: Hear a heart-warming story about a baby fawn. Learn how you are a tree. and get actionable ways to change things RIGHT NOW. Acknowledge the greatness of your own tale. Feel seen, feel heard, and feel real. Because, truly, in your own life’s movie, you matter most of all.

Realign with your Purpose and Move Forward! How to do this Right Now
In this episode, we cover how exactly to dive right on into realigning with your purpose, and, in essence, re-finding your truest self. In doing so, we fling open the doors to moving forward. Whether you are feeling stuck, out of touch, or just want to reconnect with what makes you feel alive, this one’s for you. We cover: Why you must give yourself exclusive dedicated time (even if only a little) to get this all figured out. Why you should do this on your own, without outer influence, even if by well-meaning loved ones. Why you should absolutely give yourself permission to see and realize your own importance in your story. We realign through this framework: Part One - groundwork and the tools Write down purpose and intention - do this daily in present tense. Visualize. Clearing blocks - past toxicities, limitations, and a mindset reset. Setting new expectations using I can and I will. Documenting strengths (and pitfalls to avoid) - realize your pathway archetypes for even more help. Acknowledging all achievements and successes - from the small to the big. Part Two - actually doing it Setting new schedules and routines. The importance of wellness and fulfillment (including leisures and breaks!). Setting your non-negotiables. Setting Landmarks (goals in gradient - smaller “achievables” and bigs). Tracking your progress along the way. Then…Rinse and repeat ALL THE FRICKIN’ TIME. We wrap with the power of choice and then send you off to discover. Be a part of this amazing re-beginning, then share!

Taking Up Space and the Very Real Struggle of Self-Worth
In this week’s episode, we discuss why many of us struggle with taking up space - even a parking space! We delve into the FACT and TRUTH that we all deserve to take up space. But, first, we broach the question of why do so many of us shrink and stay small even when we know we are meant for more? To move forward into our own big-ness and space, we uncover why we have accepted smallness as our norm. We discuss the conditioning that continues to hold us back as well as the fine line between generosity and people-pleasing. From this episode, you will walk away with a new awareness of why you constantly find yourself feeling trapped in the small, and, then, take away a new take on why you should allow yourself to be as big as you feel.

How to Break Free From a Half-lived Life
In How to Break Free From a Half-lived Life, we dive right into what we need to explore and obliterate in order to live our lives more fully rather than this half-lived life we’ve become so accustomed to. What do we need to rid ourselves of? To start with…expectation, convention, pressure, conditioning, habits (the bad ones), indoctrination, judgment, and fear. We talk about them all. But first you must decide. Do you want to live the way that you have been living? Or do you want to live a life more wholly and fully? And do you think you deserve it? You do, by the way. I wish I didn’t have to convince you. But that’s the conditioning talking. Time to rip this topic open. It’s time to recapture your life.
