Summary

We will learn: How to master the art of setting boundaries without drama Why people emotionally regress and how to handle it with empathy How specificity in conversation might save your relationships Every gift has a shadow, and every shadow a gift. This has been one of my biggest lessons throughout my spiritual growth. I've learned that the impact of our actions or words can vary dramatically based on the energy we bring to them. Take serving others, for instance. It can spring from a sense of purpose and self-worth, or it can be rooted in people-pleasing. Same action, totally different vibe. This duality is everywhere in our lives. Confidence can be empowering or arrogant, depending on how you use it. Ambition can drive you to reach for the stars or have you stepping on others to get there. But is there a way to honor our truth while leaving space for others? I think there is. It's about finding that sweet spot between doormat and bulldozer. It's speaking your mind without steamrolling others. It's setting boundaries with kindness. It's disagreeing without dismissing. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Amy Green Smith. She is a life coach and hypnotherapist, speaker, and communication expert. She helps people find their voice and move to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-worth.

0:10.9	or words can vary dramatically based on the energy that we bring to them.
0:17.0	Take serving others for instance.
0:19.9	This can come from a sense of purpose and self-worth, or it can be rooted in people-pleasing.
0:26.0	Same action, totally different vibe.
0:29.1	Similarly, there's a fine line between genuinely helping someone and trying to fix them. They might even
0:35.6	look identical on the surface, but their essence and their outcomes can be worlds apart.
0:40.6	This duality is everywhere in our lives. Confidence can be
0:46.1	empowering or arrogant depending on how you use it. Ambition can drive you to reach
0:50.9	for the stars or have you stepping on others to get there.
0:55.4	Even love, that beautiful heart expanding feeling can turn into a cage when fear creeps
1:01.5	in. It can go from I love you to I own you real quick if we're not
1:06.5	careful. Here's the thing. We are wired for black and white thinking, good or bad, right or wrong.
1:14.0	But life isn't that simple, is it?
1:17.0	Everything has layers, like the world's most complicated onion.
1:21.0	And this all or nothing mindset is why so many of us struggle to speak
1:25.2	up. We've been fed this story that good girls sit down shut up and go with the flow.
1:31.6	It's a survival tactic sure, but at what cost? On the flip side,
1:37.1	some of us learned that speaking up was the only way to survive. So we ended up shouting our truth from the rooftops,
1:44.4	leaving no room for anyone else's reality. Been there, done that. And it's
1:49.8	usually the stage right after a big drastic change, like becoming vegan and then again
