EP. 130 // The Joy Junkie AMY E. SMITH

Today on the podcast we are thrilled to bring you Amy E. Smith of The Joy Junkie who teaches chronic people-pleasers & perfectionists how to stand up for themselves – without being dicks! NOW THAT’S SOMETHING WE CAN GET BEHIND!

EP. 130 // The Joy Junkie AMY E. SMITH | Crafty Ass Female

SUMMARY //

Amy E. Smith starts off talking to Amanda + Kristin about her early years of creativity, how her people-pleasing tendencies derived from her family of origin, and the moment she knew she had to do something about it.

Amy talks about people pleasing and perfectionism in a way that has never been disgusted on this show. She talks about writing your own permission slips, the meaning of F.M.T. and how it helps you, and how she lives by the mantra DO NOT ALLOW YOUR SILENCE TO MAKE YOU A LIAR.

Amy chats with girls about the journey she took to knowing WHO it was she wanted to help with her coaching, and the mental exercises one needs to practice in order to overcome negative self-talk and develop progressive language.

Amy talks to A + K about resilience and how vulnerability is often perceived as weakness, but is in fact a superpower. Amy also makes a point to say vulnerability isn’t for everybody…make sure you SPEAK YOUR TRUTH INTO EARS THAT CAN HEAR YOU.
