41: Sheri Salata: You Inner Critic Vs. Inner Coach + Recognizing Your "Beautiful No's"

This episode is a little different than usual! Instead of hearing me interview other thought-leaders, you will hear me get interviewed by the amazing Sherri Salata. Together we chat about “Beautiful No’s”. This is when life suddenly takes us in a different direction and leads us to our destiny. I believe losing both of my legs – as hard as it was – brought me to exactly where I wanted and needed to be…just in a completely different way than I ever could have imagined. We also about about managing our inner voice. When it comes to our inner critic, we all have a coach and a critic and I explain how I shift my mindset to give my inner coach more control than my inner critic. Lastly, we chat about something fun many of you have probably never heard me talk about: I was casted as a lead actress in a huge Hollywood movie! Sheri is not only a great friend of mine but she was the executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Co-President of the Oprah Winfrey Network and Harpo production, and the amazing author of Beautiful No. What we discuss: 02:55: Amy’s mission in life 04:44: Did Amy make the right decision to start a podcast? 05:27: Amy’s power word of the year: Connection 07:07: How teaching what Amy knows is different from living and experiencing it 09:18: Amy’s first “Beautiful No” 16:15: Amy’s second “Beautiful No” 20:33: What Amy wants others to see in themselves 21:57: What is the inside chatter? 23:03: Recognizing the difference between what our inner critic is saying and what we feel 26: 42: The biggest realization Amy had from her podcast 28:46: How we’re all connected together

After losing both my legs at the age of 19 I bounced forward to become a 3-time Paralympic medalist, one of Oprah’s top 100 thought leaders, a New York Times best-selling author, a Dancing with the Stars runner up, and a world-renown motivational speaker. I’m here to challenge you with one thing: How can you use your current situation to get ahead? How can you not just survive the challenges you are facing but actually thrive because of them. After all, it's not about bouncing back to who we once were, it's about bouncing forward to all that we can be.
