Today’s guest, Amy Ahlers is a two-time author and a total spitfire. Our conversation was super charged and we explored a lot of things that are up in our culture, our lives and the climate of the coaching industry right now.
Her truth was around celebrating the truths and paradoxes of life and embracing both the magical and the messy. That might sound a bit “airy fairy” but it wasn’t even close to that.
During this conversation we got into:
-White fragility and privilege and the problem with “colorblindness”
-HOW we’ve been unpacking these things in our own lives and businesses
-Her core work around the “inner mean girl” and when that shows up
-Big fat lies women tell themselves
-The antidote to self-bullying
-Being a mom to girls and how to navigate obectification
-How your social media behavior reflects your values
Have a listen (probably more than once), share and enjoy this one!
