Kendall Berg pulls no punches in this conversation with certified life coach and communication expert Amy Green Smith. From the outside, high achievers seem like they have it all together—but beneath the promotions and packed calendars is a brewing identity crisis. Amy unpacks why burnout hits the most accomplished professionals the hardest—and how tying your self-worth to your performance is the fastest way to lose yourself.

Together, Kendall and Amy break down how to recognize those self-sabotaging behaviors, communicate assertively without coming off like a jerk, and set boundaries that actually stick. Plus, Amy offers her go-to scripts and practical tips to help listeners reclaim their bandwidth and emotional space. In this episode, we discuss: How do I stop tying my identity to my job? What are signs that I'm a people-pleaser at work? How can I be assertive without being aggressive? What's the right way to set boundaries in the workplace?

We will be replaying our episode on the Four Fear Responses this week! I am hoping that this episode will make you feel less alone if you are currently experiencing a lot of fear responses over the news, our current trying times, or anything else you may be going through. Hopefully if we can identify when our body is in a fear response, it can help us affirm ourselves and our feelings.Am I actually in danger or is this just new? Amy Green Smith, host of the Bold-Faced Truth podcast, is here to discuss the four fear responses. How does our fear manifest in a modern world where there's not a large animal chasing us and we have protection from the elements? Now we have the new fear response of fawning that manifests as people pleasing. Our flight response resonates in the way we experience depression. And how does misogyny use our fear responses as a tool to oppression and a way to keep us silent and small?

Do you struggle to speak up and say how you truly feel in difficult situations? Staying silent or feeling a sense of fear about speaking up doesn't allow you to show up as your authentic self.

And as a result of that, we lose connection with our inner compass.” –Blake “People feel safer with you if they know where you stand and where they stand with you.” –Amy Green Smith   Additional Resources:    Connect with Amy Green Smith: Website: https://amygreensmith.com/ Freebies: https://amygreensmith.com/free/ Social: https://www.instagram.com/heyamygreensmith/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/heyamygreensmith/ https://www.facebook.com/heyamygreensmith https://www.threads.net/@heyamygreensmith   Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you're headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.   Start your complimentary, Personalized Career Fulfillment Plan by going to www.thebridgetofulfillment.com/pcfp For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

As busy, hard-working professionals with families, demanding jobs, and multiple other obligations, we often go into auto-pilot. We mindlessly follow scripts and templates that were passed onto us about what success looks like. We rarely stop to ask "why?" and fail to see that saying yes to too much may in the end lead us on to the people-pleasing road to ruin. This week's guest, Amy Green Smith, has successfully navigated this dance, and has helped many clients get out of this trap. Amy is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and personal empowerment expert. Amy uses her roles as coach, writer, podcaster, and speaker to move individuals to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-worth. With acute focus on helping people “find their voice”, she is highly sought after for her uncommon style of irreverence, wisdom, and humor and has been a featured expert in Inspired Coach Magazine and on Fox 5 San Diego. We touched on many fascinating topics during our discussion including: The artificial distinction between intuition and inner critic, which are actually in many ways just opposite sides of the same coin The common tendency to focus on the fight / flight response associated with the sympathetic nervous system, and ignore the 3rd “F” – fawn. How people-pleasing plays into all of this. Amy's powerful conception of “self-sentiment,” which is a bit more nuanced than the traditional notion of self-talk. How emotional “entry points” help us unpack moments of high anxiety, and prevent us from getting taken down by black and white thinking. Amy's spiritual journey, which started with a dogmatic, devout Christian upbringing, and evolved into her exploring Buddhism, Universal Unitarianism, and numerous other schools of thought Amy's transition from a successful (but unfulfilling) career in corporate training for a large cosmetics manufacturer to life coaching, which was far more aligned with her soul purpose The role of consent in following the voices of our inner critic as adults (vs. when we were children) The power of hypnotherapy in unlocking alpha, theta, and delta brainwave states. How injecting mindfulness even in small doses can ultimately push humanity forward. The importance of distinguishing between "am I in danger?” or “is this something new?" when entering ambiguous situations. What it truly means "outsource our self worth" - i.e., please others for the sake of feeling better about ourselves. How progressive language, and a more incremental approach, can help us break down those “big hairy audacious goals,” and prevent us from getting mired in self-sabotage and defeat. The analogy of smoke alarm to help us take a more measured, nuanced view of our self-defense systems. The valuable insights of Bruce Lipton, Jose Silva, Richard Davidson on mindfulness, hypnosis, and meditation Amy's signature 9-month transformational group immersion program for women entitled “Worthy,” which includes two 5-day retreats, a supportive community, as well as numerous online and offline resources Do you want to feel more worthy?

I'm pumped to welcome my new friend, Amy Green Smith, onto the podcast today! I honestly feel she's like my new best friend - she is SO freaking cool, and offers a very unique perspective on the topic of people pleasing (especially recovering people pleasers - I know there are many of us out there)!In today's episode, we cover crucial topics like people pleasing, unshakable boundaries, communicating with power, cultivating self-worth, and more. Boundaries are one of those things that can feel pretty intimidating (to both people enforcing and receiving them), but they are extremely important when it comes to your self-worth and ‘enoughness'. Taking a three-pronged approach (like Amy recommends) can be incredibly beneficial when you're ready to get serious about your boundaries and actually implement them (the follow through is key here). The world has plenty of badass, intelligent women who are incredibly brilliant, but they tend to doubt themselves, and feel like they don't have ‘enough' to offer. Contrary to what society had led us to believe, we ARE allowed to feel however the heck we want to, and we shouldn't feel ashamed or ‘less than' for our unique life decisions. In this episode, we cover:What boundaries are + why they are incredibly important in regards to your self-worth and ‘enoughness'Why you should not allow your silence to make you a liar + using Amy's three-pronged approach for setting boundaries when you need to have those tough conversationsThe detrimental impact that comes when you lose yourself and who you're really meant to be, simply to fit in and please everyone around youLearning to cultivate your value + genuinely believing that you ARE allowed to feel however you do, regardless of what others think Taking inventory of who you're willing/able to have difficult conversations with + practicing kindness and assertiveness when speaking with othersLetting go of societal pressures when it comes to your health & body as you age + continually prioritizing your relationship with your partnerResources & Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Amy:Check out all of her free resources HEREFollow on Instagram @heyamygreensmithCheck out Amy's websiteListen to her podcast The Bold-Faced Truth PodcastConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest...

In this episode of the Deeper Than Dough podcast, Bennett Maxwell sits down with Amy Green Smith to discuss her journey of breaking free from a conservative, born-again Christian upbringing and finding her own voice and self-worth. Amy shares the impact of setting boundaries, speaking up for oneself, and recognizing the value of one's opinions and needs. She discusses societal pressures to achieve and the need to prioritize self-care and mental well-being. The conversation explores critical thinking and questioning beliefs while maintaining empathy and understanding in relationships and personal growth. Topics covered include self-interest, people-pleasing, religious extremism, deconstruction, and the concept of worthiness. Amy and Bennett explore the idea that all actions are driven by self-interest, whether immediate or delayed.

Additionally, they discuss the role of language and words in shaping our beliefs and experiences.

“You can actually speak up for yourself with poise and grace and kindness.” –Amy Green SmithCan you be compassionate and assertive at the same time? I'm really excited to talk with Amy Green Smith about self-empowerment and how she stopped being a people pleaser.Don't think you are a people pleaser? We go beyond the idea of people pleasing being something a timid wallflower does. Any time we alter who we are in order to gain favor from another person or party at a cost to us is people pleasing. Sometimes we people please to stay safe. It's important to see where people pleasing is keeping us safe and where it is stealing our joy.We don't always have to be disrupters. Sometimes we just want to be ourselves. The middle path can be messy, but it's possible to stand up for ourselves without anger. We can communicate without yelling and screaming or biting our tongue all the time. We talk about: Taking up equal space with people with different ideasSetting and holding boundaries around challenging areas in relationshipsHow to live life according to what you want, not other's demands Recognizing and feeling dichotomous feelings and not falling prey to guiltGoing back to your internal compass and checking your intentionQuestions to ask to find your truthABOUT AMYAmy Green Smith is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and personal empowerment expert.

Action is how change happens.Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation:CHECK YOUR INNER COMPASS. You will get a lot of feedback from other people, and it's not helpful. When you are feeling bad about how people react to something you say or do, return to your inner compass and check your intention.FIND YOUR TRUTH. Use this three prong question to find your truth in any situation. Ask: What are the facts of the situation? What am I making up? What else could be true? SET A BOUNDARY. Boundary setting is not easy. It takes time and energy, but it is an important step to living the life you want to live and giving up harmful people pleasing. Start by getting really clear about what you will and will not tolerate. Then communicate that firmly and with compassion.

Our guest today, Amy Green Smith wants you to know:  You are not a fraud. You are not uniquely broken. Your voice matters. But to believe all this, you must first know that you are worthy. Amy is a life coach, a hypnotherapist, and personal empowerment expert, but mostly, an amazing human. She's also the host of the Bold-Faced Truth Podcast and the author of Speak Up For Yourself Without Being a Dick. In today's episode, Rachael and Amy talk about people-pleasing and why we do it. You may be surprised to learn that some forms of people-pleasing are necessary and it's not just something that introverts do. And what does being assertive and setting boundaries have to do with your inner critic? They are all intertwined and they are all things that YOU, yes YOU can get a hold of. It just takes some awareness and some courage. Amy wants you to enjoy your badass self because you deserve it. And we want you to enjoy this episode!

This episode was a really fun one. In it, I chat with credentialed life coach, hypnotherapist, and personal empowerment expert, Amy Green Smith about fear, people-pleasing, feeling worthy, and taking up space. There's a lot more I want to say about it but it's one you should listen to and grab some nuggets from yourself! Here are some teasers... - Am I actually in danger or is this just new? - We have conflated what is familiar with what is comfortable. - Fear and people-pleasing aren't always "bad" - sometimes they're necessary and/or keep you safe. - Heightened emotional states require acute care, not personal development tools. - Our modern-day fear responses look different. - Progressive language (stating you are taking action toward something) can be really helpful in shifting beliefs. - Our bodies are forcing us to slow down... We have to TAKE rest because it is so rarely given.

We're covering a topic that falls into the category of “we've covered it before but it's worth repeating”. Because I know most, if not all, women struggle with setting and communicating boundaries as it flies in the face of our people-pleasing, helpful and perfectionist tendencies. So we're going to talk about Boundaries, again, but we're going to focus more on the actual words and what to say. Amy Green Smith joins us again for her last episode in our 4-part series (if you haven't listened to our last three episodes, I'd highly encourage you to do that!) Communicating boundaries in a productive and responsible way is going to require practice. Probably lots and lots of practice, given however many years we've spent not communicating them. Don't wait for your mic drop moment – don't expect perfection – don't spend endless amounts of time worrying about what the other person thinks about your boundary – just start practicing. Because that's how you get good at anything. Connect with Amy: Grab Amy's FREE-SOURCES at: https://amygreensmith.com/free       Only 2 spots available in Amy's Signature Worthy Program!

If you're tuning in for the first time, or just because this topic was of interest to you, I want to point out that this is Part 2 of our conversation on Fear & Failure, so if you didn't listen to part 1 just yet, I'd encourage you to go back to episode 197 from last week and start there. If you've already listened to Part 1, then I'm going to assume you're here because you've been not-so-patiently waiting for the completion of this conversation… and I can tell you it'll be worth the wait. I'm joined by Amy Green Smith, life coach, hypnotherapist, speaker, and communication expert. There is so much I could say about Amy, but I'm going to share something she has on her website that gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes because it's so REAL, it's so relevant, and it's so HER – she says “I was fucking DONE being motivated from a place of guilt and fear. I realized that if push came to shove and I had to decide between making my family happy or making me happy, I CHOSE ME”. I feel everything about that, deeply.  No matter what, I don't care what is happening or what you're going thru, you are worthy and valuable. Neither fear nor failure can change that.

FEAR and FAILURE – sounds like a party right? I promise we'll have some fun with it, and give you actionable tools, but my biggest goal is for all of us to create a new, more productive, more empowered interpretation of fear and failure. Because we had such a great conversation last week I've invited Amy Green Smith, life coach, hypnotherapist, speaker, and communication expert to join me again. I appreciate her uncommon style of irreverence, wisdom, and humor! She released episode 500 of her amazing podcast “The Bold-Faced Truth” and then stopped recording, so I'm eternally grateful to her for her time and wisdom in joining me, and stupid excited that we get to release a few episodes with her as a guest on our show! We'll bring the rest of this conversation on Fear & Failure to you next week… and trust me when I say we're just getting warmed up. Our brain is a wonderful thing, but it sees what we KNOW as safe and the UNKNOWN as dangerous, so we need to teach our brains that all risk is not the same. You can be scared, and you can be brave. In fact, you need to be scared in order to be brave.

One of the most powerful things you have, that is directly linked to your confidence, is your VOICE. And I don't just mean what you say, though there is so much power in that. I mean what you put out into the world for other people to see, hear, feel and experience. Your words, sure, but also the sharing of your beliefs, knowledge, opinions, stories. Your truth, as you see it.  Back in the day, very few people had their voices heard beyond their inner circle – but in an age of global connectedness that has changed. How do you, how can you, and how will you use your voice? Here to help us with all the how's is Amy Green Smith. Amy is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and courageous communication expert. Amy uses her roles as coach, writer, podcaster, and speaker to move individuals to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-worth. With her focus on helping people “find their voice”, she is highly sought after for her uncommon style of irreverence, wisdom, and humor. There's a quote that says “it only takes ONE voice, at the right pitch, to start an avalanche” – I share that as a reminder that your voice has power. Even with your knees shaking, palms sweating, with your head filled with doubt, your heart pounding with uncertainty, stumbling over your words – USE YOUR VOICE.

We are talking all things BOUNDARIES. This is the final episode of my series with Amy Green Smith. Whether you're joining us for the first time or have been following along with the rest of this series, you're in for a treat. Amy teaches us how to powerfully say no, how to set (and enforce) boundaries with others, and how to overcome guilt associated with any pushback.

In my previous episodes with Amy, we dove into difficult conversations: How to start them, end them, what to say, and how to stand up for yourself. As well as how to overcome imposter syndrome and finally stop people-pleasing. And those themes didn't stop there. In this episode, Amy continues to provide even more strategies for navigating those uncomfortable conversations surrounding boundaries AND overcoming people-pleasing - this time in the form of overexplaining when setting a boundary and holding more of someone else's experience than is ours to hold. Amy walks us into actually embracing boundaries without the unnecessary justifications. And you know we can't talk about boundaries without talking about what happens when someone doesn't respect those boundaries. Don't worry, we got you. Amy gives us actionable advice on handling situations where others disregard your boundaries, advocating for your children, and enforcing consequences when those limits are crossed.

Today if you struggle with people pleasing this one's for you. My guest Amy Green Smith, life coach and communication expert, shares some insights to help empower people pleasers. She talks about the origins of people pleasing, why we people please, and when people pleasing makes sense. Amy defines people pleasing as sacrificing something of self to make sure that other people are happy. Often it's rooted in a feeling of self inflicted sense of threat, lack of value or unworthiness. When that's the case, we can equate pleasing others with our worth and self preservation.
