What would be possible if you stopped being hard on yourself? How much of your energy would be freed up? If you’re a woman stepping into more leadership so you can do big work in the world, then this episode is for you. You’ll learn a simple 3-step process that can help you overcome your inner critic, in every single arena of your life.
In episode 133 of the Lead with Love podcast, I get cozy with one of my favorite people in the world, Amy Ahlers.
Amy Ahlers is a master coach, featured keynote speaker on stages at places like Google and Oracle, the host of the Amy Ahlers Show podcast, and the bestselling author of Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves and Reform Your Inner Mean Girl.
Amy is on a mission to STOP women from self-bullying and being so darn hard on themselves. With nearly two decades of coaching experience, Amy has created transformational programs such as Inner Mean Girl Reform School (with Christine Arylo), Find Your Calling (with Martha Beck and Lissa Rankin) & Lift-Off Business Academy, and now facilitates programs to help transform the corporate culture for women so they can Shine, Rise and Lead.
“This is about bringing your inner mean girl out of the shadows and into the light so she can be healed.”
