What if the real reason you're stuck isn't mindset—but a memory your body hasn't let go of? In this powerful episode, Amy chats with Laurel Wiers, founder of Optimal Outcome, about how unresolved trauma (even the “small stuff”) shows up in our work, relationships, and leadership. Laurel shares how high achievers unknowingly carry emotional weight that holds them back—and how healing doesn't have to take years.
