We all have that one holiday food that feels impossible to resist — the special treat that triggers old patterns and leaves us feeling powerless. In this episode, I share a breakthrough coaching moment that turned one client’s holiday tradition from anxiety into joy. You’ll hear how shifting the thought “I can’t say no” to “I don’t want to say no” opened the door to empowerment and freedom. I’ll also guide you through a simple exercise to explore your own holiday food kryptonite and discover what’s possible when you reframe your story. If you're curious how coaching can work for you, I invite you to book a connection call with me at amyenglishcc.com.

This episode is my honest account of navigating post‑menopause, insulin resistance, and the decision to try Wegovy. I share the fear, the frustration, and the relief of finally saying yes to support while battling the maze of insurance. Three weeks in, I’ve lost nine pounds—but more importantly, I’ve realized medication is only a temporary tool. The lasting freedom—the peace with food, the trust in my hunger cues, the release of shame—comes from the inner work I’ve already done. Food freedom is possible, and building that foundation is yours to keep.

Twelve years ago, I received the phone call that changed everything: breast cancer. Since then, December 2nd has become my cancerversary, a day of reflection, gratitude, and honoring the journey.

In this episode, I share 12 lessons from 12 years, wisdom shaped not only by cancer but by the healing, cycle-breaking, and living that followed. Whether it’s trusting intuition, reframing stress eating, or redefining success, these lessons encourage anyone navigating food, body, or life struggles.

Join me as I reflect on what this cancerversary has taught me about resilience, self-trust, and the power of listening to the whispers that can change and even save our lives.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, traditions, and joy, but it can also stir up food anxiety, guilt, and old cycles of shame. In this episode, I share three gentle reframes to help you approach the holiday table with food freedom and self‑trust: listening to your hunger cues, giving yourself permission to enjoy the foods you love, and releasing the idea of “good” and “bad” foods. Along the way, I offer personal stories, practical tools like the Hunger Scale, and a reminder that gratitude can soften food anxiety. This episode is your invitation to break the cycle, choose freedom, and experience Thanksgiving with peace and presence.

In this episode, I share a vivid dream that cracked something open in me—a tornado, a back door that wouldn’t stay shut, and my sweet shorkie having puppies in the middle of it all. It’s a dream that stayed with me and mirrored everything I’ve been feeling in this strange season of midlife: the ache of being needed less, the quiet grief, the questions about what’s next.

I’m sharing this personal story because many of us are in the middle of our own storms, and this dream helped me make more sense of mine.

Have you ever thought, “I’m trying to be kinder to myself, but I don’t know how”?

In this episode, I’m talking about the in-between. That quiet, tender space where you’re not tearing yourself down, but you don’t yet know how to build yourself up. It’s awkward. It’s sacred. And it matters more than you think.

I share the moment I stood in front of the mirror and had nothing kind to say, and why that silence was actually a sign of healing.

We’ll explore how to begin again with curiosity, neutrality, and gratitude… and why this work isn’t just personal—it’s generational. Because how we speak to ourselves becomes how we live, and how we model worth to the next generation.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between self-criticism and self-compassion, this one’s for you. For more support, book your connection call with me at amyenglishcc.com.

When my daughter was eight years old, she looked up at me and asked, “Mom, do I look fat?” That question broke my heart and opened my eyes.

In this episode, I’m sharing how that moment became a turning point in my healing journey, and why body image self-talk doesn’t stop with us. It ripples outward, shaping our homes, our children, and the world they grow up in.

We’ll talk about how to start breaking that cycle of negative self-talk, one thought, one compliment, and one act of self-compassion at a time. Because when we change the conversation inside, everything outside begins to shift.

For years, I believed there was a “track” I was supposed to be on with food, my body, my business, even my worth. You know the one: the track that promises success, control, and validation if you just work hard enough or stay disciplined enough. But what if that track was never real?

In this episode, I unpack the myth of the track — the illusion that keeps so many of us stuck in cycles of urgency, control, and self-blame. I share how I’ve started to unravel this belief in my own life, what it’s cost me, and what I’ve gained by stepping off of it.

If you’ve ever said, “I just need to get back on track,” this one’s for you. Because maybe you’re not off-track at all… maybe you’re finally coming home to yourself.
