The Amy Edwards Show

Evan Cudworth is known as the world’s first Party Coach and the creator of The Party Within, a framework designed to help adults reconnect to joy, presence, and authentic human connection in a culture that is increasingly optimized, anxious, and isolated. His work blends psychology, flow state, and community-building, and has been featured in GQ, The Washington Post, LA Times, and Teen Vogue.In this episode, we explore the idea of a “party coach” as something much deeper than nightlife or entertainment. This is about participation. About play. About rebuilding connection in a time when many of us are high-functioning but lonely.We talk about the evolution of party culture, the spiritual benefits and risks of partying, the tension between wellness culture and hedonism, and why so many adults have quietly opted out of real-life connection. We unpack the difference between numbing and presence, and how intentional gatherings can actually support mental health and nervous system regulation.This conversation is ultimately about how we show up in life. Not as performers. Not as optimizers. But as participants.Website: https://partycoach.meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/evan_cudworth/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evan_cudworth

We talk about why time management alone isn’t enough—and why energy is the real asset we need to be paying attention to. Carrie breaks down the concept of Return on Energy, a practical way to evaluate where your energy is going, what it’s costing you, and whether it’s actually giving anything back.We dive into awareness as the first step, how to spot energy leaks (hello, doom scrolling and endless meetings), and why leadership isn’t a title—it’s influence. We also talk about burnout, decision fatigue, boundaries, and small shifts that can dramatically change how you feel in your day-to-day life.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:02:05 Return on energy00:07:03 The VIBE framework00:10:31 How to see energy00:13:26 Leaking energy and how to stop it00:18:59 How energy affects leadership00:20:41 Ways to track your energy00:23:43 Carrie’s background00:29:40 Company culture energy drain00:32:28 All In - the book 00:35:24 How to cope with burnout 00:41:17 Boundaries and non-negotiables00:45:44 Your values vs your energy00:48:54 The wheel of life exercise00:54:50 How to get unstuck from being just “fine”01:01:24 Final thoughts and outroIf you’re feeling stretched thin, this episode dives deep into return on energy, energy management, and how to avoid burnout without sacrificing performance.

Kati Morton, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, leading mental health advocate, and one of the most trusted voices in modern mental health education. She’s the author of Are U OK?, Traumatized, and her newest book, Why Do I Keep Doing This?, which explores why so many of us repeat patterns we desperately want to change, and how to finally shift them.In this episode, Kati and I talk about the habits, emotional responses, and control patterns that quietly keep us stuck in the same loops, especially in relationships, work, and self-talk. We explore why insight alone isn’t enough, how control often starts as protection, and what it actually takes to create lasting behavioral change.We also unpack people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional suppression, and the nervous system’s role in habit formation, plus how to move out of self-judgment and into real self-awareness. This is a practical, grounded conversation about mental health that goes beyond labels and into lived experience.Follow Kati and get the book:Website: https://katimorton.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KatiMorton Podcast ("Ask Kati Anything"): https://www.youtube.com/@askkatianything Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katimorton/ Why Do I Keep Doing This?: Unlearn the Habits Keeping You Stuck and Unhappy — Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Do-Keep-Doing-This/dp/0306836548 Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

We talk about what the Akashic Records actually are, how the quantum records differ from traditional interpretations, and why accessing higher consciousness isn’t about going somewhere—it’s about shifting perspective right here, right now.We explore timelines, dimensions, trauma held in the body, subconscious programming, and why clearing “thought forms” is essential for alignment. Melissa explains how fear, ego, and spiritual bypassing block access to wisdom—and how heart-centered awareness is the true navigation system.This is a grounded, expansive conversation about consciousness, healing, and what it means to evolve while still fully living a human life. If you’ve ever been curious about the Akashic Records but wanted an entry point that feels accessible, practical, and embodied, this episode is for you.Follow Melissa and learn more and get her books:https://melissafeick.com/https://instagram.com/melissafeickhttps://www.youtube.com/@MelissaFeick33Books:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRNJY519?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tkinPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Ben Brown is a nutrition and fitness coach, metabolic health expert, and the host of Smart Nutrition Made Simple. He’s the founder of Body Systems, where he works with high-performing men and women—especially over 40—to build strength, energy, and confidence through a science-based, real-world approach to health.In this episode, Ben and I unpack one of the most misunderstood ideas in fitness: exercise is not a great weight loss tool. We talk about why so many people are working out harder than ever but still feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated—and what actually moves the needle instead.We dive into metabolic adaptation, immune suppression from overtraining, why walking and strength training are the real “cheat codes,” and how nutrition—not more workouts—is the foundation for sustainable body composition. Ben also breaks down why perfectionism backfires, how to stop the all-or-nothing cycle, and how to build what he calls a personal operating system for health—one that fits real life.If you’re heading into a new year wanting to feel stronger, more energized, and more at home in your body—without burning yourself out—this conversation will help you reset your approach in a way that actually lasts.30-day reset: https://bodysystems.com/30-Day-Reset/Follow Ben and learn more:Website: https://bodysystems.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoachingPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Bijou Finney, also known as Mushroom Mamasita, is a Medicine Woman, Integration Alchemist, and Retreat Creatrix whose work lives at the intersection of plant medicine education, psychosomatic healing, and visionary life design. She works with conscious entrepreneurs, couples, and women who are ready to come alive, helping them clear blocks across pleasure, purpose, prosperity, persona, and power through somatic practices, plant-based wisdom, and therapeutic coaching.In this episode, Bijou and I go deep into a side of authenticity that doesn’t get talked about enough. Not the curated, Instagram-friendly version—but the real, lived, sometimes uncomfortable experience of actually being yourself. We explore why authenticity can trigger resistance in others, why being honest often costs you approval, and how self-love isn’t always soft, but rather, it’s often brave.We talk about archetypes, nervous system responses, identity shedding, and what happens when you stop performing who you think you’re supposed to be. This conversation is raw, grounded, and incredibly timely, especially if you’re feeling a pull toward truth, clarity, and aligned action in this next chapter.This episode is for anyone who’s done pretending, done shrinking, and ready to live from a deeper place of integrity, even when it’s messy.Follow Bijou and learn more:Her program mentioned in the episode: https://www.mushroommamasita.com/crystalcodehttps://www.mushroommamasita.com/https://www.instagram.com/mushroommamasitahttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/bijoulea-finney/episodes/Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Shalin Shah is the CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals and widely known as The Metabolic CEO. He’s a leading voice in metabolic health and hormone therapy innovation, and one of the strongest advocates working to destigmatize testosterone for both men and women.In this episode, we go deep into what’s really happening with testosterone today — why levels are declining across the population, why this is not just a “male” issue, and why testosterone is foundational to metabolic health, longevity, mental health, bone density, and quality of life. Shalin breaks down complex science in a way that’s practical and empowering, and explains why testosterone deficiency is being massively underdiagnosed and undertreated.We talk about environmental toxins, sleep disruption, stress, lifestyle, and the long-term consequences of ignoring low testosterone — including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, frailty, and increased all-cause mortality. We also explore the future of hormone therapy, why testing should be standard, and how innovation like oral testosterone could change access and outcomes for millions of people.This conversation is informative, eye-opening, and honestly a bit of a wake-up call — especially for anyone in midlife who wants to age strong, think clearly, and feel energized again.What we cover:Why testosterone levels are declining in men and womenTestosterone as a metabolic health marker, not a lifestyle drugThe role of sleep, stress, toxins, and modern lifeWhy fatigue, brain fog, depression, and low motivation are often hormonalThe truth about testosterone myths and stigmaWhy testing matters — and why baselines should start earlyThe difference between “normal” and “optimal” hormone levelsOral vs topical vs injectable testosteroneWhy muscle, bone health, and longevity are directly tied to hormonesWhat’s changing at the FDA — and why this moment mattersPanel: https://www.fda.gov/patients/fda-expert-panels/fda-expert-panel-testosterone-replacement-therapy-men-12102025?Comments: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-N-6743-0001/commentwww.kyzatrex.comhttps://www.instagram.com/themetabolicceo/Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Let's charge up that inner Fire Horse in 2026! In this solo episode, I’m talking about what it really means to take aligned action: not forced action, not performative hustle, but the kind of movement that actually changes your life. We all love setting goals and making lists, but nothing shifts until we’re willing to face what’s real and take the next brave step. And 2026 is prepped and ready for us!I walk you through my five-step process for aligned action, using my own story of getting honest about finances, habits, self-trust, and momentum. This episode is about listening to your intuition, getting quiet before you get busy, naming true yeses and noes, and taking small courageous steps without waiting for permission.Aligned action isn’t rigid or perfect, but rather, it’s a relationship. It’s learning, adjusting, recalibrating, and continuing to move forward even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you reconnect to your inner fire and start moving again, one aligned step at a time.Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Whitney Stropp is a podcast host, comedian, writer, and speaker, and the co-creator of Every Widow Thing, a show that has become a lifeline for people navigating grief, loss, and identity after the death of a spouse. She’s also my co-host on our new podcast Anything But Mid, where we’re rethinking midlife without the pressure to fix, optimize, or pretend everything is fine.In this conversation, Whitney and I talk honestly about grief, midlife, menopause, reinvention, and the unexpected role humor plays in surviving hard seasons. Whitney shares how losing her husband reshaped her worldview, why grief is not linear, and how laughter became both a coping mechanism and a bridge back to life.We also get real about the overwhelm of midlife wellness trends, the pressure to “optimize everything,” the fear of aging, and why this season can actually be the most expansive chapter yet. This episode is funny, raw, comforting, and deeply human — like a conversation you’d have with a close friend after the holidays when real life sets back in.What we talk about:Navigating grief without a “right” way to do itWhy humor can coexist with deep painReinventing yourself in midlifeThe freedom that comes with empty nesting and identity shiftsMenopause, brain fog, and body changes — without shameLetting go of the pressure to optimize everythingWhy “Anything But Mid” is about permission, not perfectionGratitude, perspective, and choosing the next chapter consciouslyPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Dr. Catharine Arnston, PhD, MBA, is the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits®, a trailblazer in the algae nutrition movement. After her sister’s cancer diagnosis, Catharine discovered the life-changing power of algae — and made it her mission to share this nutrient-dense, detoxifying food with the world.Catharine explains why algae is not a supplement but a complete food source that fuels longevity, detoxifies cells, and restores mitochondrial energy. She reveals the difference between spirulina (Energy Bits) and chlorella (Recovery Bits), how to use both for gut health, hormonal balance, and cellular regeneration, and why algae may be the ultimate anti-aging and brain-boosting tool on the planet.She also shares her personal transformation — no medications, no supplements, incredible energy, and glowing skin at nearly 70 years old — and why she believes aging is natural, but decline is optional.What You’ll LearnWhy algae is a food, not a supplementSpirulina vs. chlorella and how to use eachThe surprising link between mitochondria and brain fogDetoxing heavy metals and toxins naturallyHow algae supports hormones and thyroid functionThe science behind energy, focus, and longevityWhy women need mitochondrial protection after 40Mentioned in this episode:ENERGYbits®: https://energybits.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/energybitsThe Algae Love Story book: https://energybits.com/pages/algae-bookDr. Catharine Arnston’s site: https://energybits.com/pages/cfb-teamUse code AmyEdwards for 20% off EnergyBitsPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

This episode was recorded at Lake Austin Spa Resort with a live audience for their "Wise Women" Month.Grace Young is a three-time James Beard Award–winning cookbook author, culinary historian, and community advocate with numerous accolades and awards. Known for her cookbooks Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen and Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge, Grace spent decades preserving Chinese culinary traditions. But in 2020, everything changed.When the pandemic hit, Grace walked through Manhattan’s Chinatown and found a community in crisis. Shops were empty, restaurants were closing, and lives were being upended by fear and misinformation. Without any activist background, Grace stepped forward—using her voice and storytelling skills to raise awareness and rally support. That spontaneous act of courage evolved into a nationwide movement to save America’s Chinatowns, earning her the Julia Child Award, the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year Award, and recognition as one of Forbes 50 Over 50.In this conversation, recorded live at Lake Austin Spa Resort for Wise Women Month, Grace shares the profound lessons she’s learned about wisdom, community, and rediscovering purpose later in life. We talk about her activism journey, how she redefined her calling in her 60s, and why connection—and showing up for one another—is the truest form of wisdom. In This EpisodeThe moment Grace realized she had to speak up for ChinatownHow preservation became her life’s mission—from recipes to communityWhat her parents’ traditions taught her about longevity and healthThe connection between wisdom, food, and sustainabilityWhy mom-and-pop shops are the soul of AmericaHow she overcame fear, found purpose, and redefined strengthPractical wisdom for finding purpose at any ageLearn more:graceyoung.comhttps://linktr.ee/stirfryguruhttps://www.instagram.com/stirfryguru/______Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Find Amy’s affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let’s get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!
