42- Rocking LOVE with Jill Faulkner and Bijou Finney

45- Rocking Our SHADOW

SHADOW.  What aspects of ourselves are we loathe to admit, acknowledge, be conscious of, and ... dare I say... LOVE? Can we love our shadow aspects? Let's rock this:

1: Let's Rock with Amy: I get real about delving into my own shadow and the complicated nature of figuring out just what the truth is there, and some practical ways of figuring that out for ourselves; the power of community and knowing we are not alone; and the beauty of accepting and loving our WHOLE selves! Find my Shadow Work PDF here, and my Instagram Live meditations every Wednesday at 9am!

2: (14:41) Go Aff Yourself with Affirmation Maven Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co: I talk about what came up for me with shadow post meditation; should we love our shadow or let it go?; loving the whole; the conditioning to beat ourselves up; ruminating and sitting with the shadow; suppression of darker emotions; detachment from the shadow if it doesn’t go away; removing worry and concern about what others think; and this week’s Aff is: I Am Aware of All Parts of Me.

3: (35:06) BYOBBB- Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: The shadow in business; the struggle between profit and what is right and how that can cause the shadow to emerge in business; the dark things that can get into the back of your mind and cause your passion to subconsciously decline; tips for cultivating accountability and understanding in your business; the power of community in shadow work; doing one hard thing for yourself every day.

VULNERABILITY.  Ooh! It feels vulnerable just writing that! Ready to get vulnerable together? So are we! Let's rock this:

1: Let's Rock with Amy: I have some real vulnerability come up around this very show and my work, and also in life.

2: Go Aff Yourself with Affirmation Maven Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co: Jill talks vulnerability with ourselves and what that means and our true desires; Jill pushes through and gets ultra-vulnerable (listen for that, so powerful!); the vulnerability of accepting where we are ‘right now’; I get vulnerable about love and relationships; and we talk the vulnerability of change; and this week’s Aff is: I Value Vulnerability.

3: BYOBBB- Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: The danger in business of being too concerned with making everyone happy can result in being too bland; social media fear around vulnerability; Bijou gets vulnerable about turning away at times and the overwhelm and her own fears around posting and using her voice; Byron Katie; we talk about the courses we are creating and the vulnerability behind that; creation and detachment; the necessity and embarrassment of old projects; and how to deal with and manage changing ourselves when others expect us to be a certain way or don’t understand.

43- Rocking LUCK

LUCK.  Are you superstitious? Do you feel lucky? All about LUCK today on the show, so let's rock:

1: Let's Rock with Amy: I update the love letter and get vulnerable as I read mine; answer a listener question about friends who are in a negative space; and delve into what I learned about luck this week! Does it exist? I consider myself lucky-- what can we learn from that in itself? Don't forget that my FREE meditation is still available, too! Access that and other free stuff HERE!

2: Go Aff Yourself (20:33) with Affirmation Maven Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co: Do we believe in luck? Do we have superstitions (spoiler alert:yes)? Where does divine guidance fit in? And what if what we consider lucky is simply a wink from the universe? Is it too much pressure to ‘make one’s own luck’? So many questions in the Go Aff discussion today, even our week’s Aff, which is: How Lucky Am I?

3: BYOBBB (38:43) Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: Believing in ability vs luck; Do people who view things as out of their control do as well as others who view themselves as in control?; Is keeping a wish a secret a good thing, if words hold power?; What is fantasy and what is real, anyway?; Case studies in her business; love yourself and be prepared for opportunities; and the origin of the harder we work, the luckier we get.

INTENTION.  Overthinking? Anxious? Or simply can't find your intention? We are on it this week! Let's rock:

1: Let's Rock with Amy: I overthought intention this week. I got all crazy with what I should say and had to come back to something simple, and I share just that, along with something that I was worried about, mistakes, and what we can learn from SpongeBob. Three quick steps and we are aligned with intention... and my whole episode is a case in point! Let's get experimental with them, too, because why not? Don't forget that my new FREE meditation is out too! Access that and other free stuff HERE!

We also discuss how we are using these affs each week. And check out Jill’s Bookshelf HERE.

3: BYOBBB (35:16) Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: SO MUCH good packed in this short chat, including: what’s behind your intention— why did you choose that one; actionable intentions and intention as a road map  her intention of organization; we find a common thread between our intentions and the end result; “Moving with intention— especially when you’re using your energy and your resources and your money— there needs to be a very crystallized intention behind your thoughts and your movements and the things that you spend your time on”; the intention of making money and the work of going deeper behind that; staying focused and not getting lazy; avoiding the pressure of intention with check-ins; I suggest an experimental tactic around intention; viewing it all as a gift to yourself; and setting new intentions if you’ve grown out of your old ones.
