In this profoundly moving episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with Amy Kemp—CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc., Certified Habit Finder Coach, and author of the book I See You—for an eye-opening and heart-centered conversation about the silent burdens so many women carry behind their accomplishments.  Amy is a Strategic Coach, Speaker, and Author of I See You -A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More—Without More Work.  From the outside, Amy’s story may look like a classic tale of success: a thriving coaching company, a best-selling book, hundreds of clients transformed. But behind it all is a powerful journey marked by an early-career betrayal that unexpectedly launched her onto a path of self-discovery, resilience, and purpose. Amy opens up about a painful moment as a young teacher when her passion and innovation were met with quiet retaliation by a principal who misused his authority. Though devastating at the time, that moment became her first real leap—pushing her to start a small side business that eventually grew into a leadership enterprise impacting thousands of lives. It’s a raw, inspiring example of how the things that don’t work out for us can actually be the turning point toward our highest potential. Throughout the episode, Amy and Lisa explore the invisible habits of thought that often keep women stuck—habits we don't even realize we're repeating. Amy introduces the Habit Finder, a powerful assessment tool that shines light on the subconscious patterns influencing how we think, connect, and lead. She explains how high-risk thought habits—like people-pleasing, over-identifying with our beliefs, or attaching worth to productivity—can sabotage even the most capable, driven women. The conversation turns to the emotional, spiritual, and even physical cost of living in overdrive. Amy shares the harrowing story of a client who unknowingly suffered a silent heart attack from years of burnout—a stark reminder of what we sacrifice when we ignore our bodies and override our intuition. But this episode isn’t just about the warning signs—it’s also filled with light, hope, and actionable insight. Amy speaks candidly about how true transformation happens not from working harder, but from surrendering more. She invites women to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their natural genius—the thing that feels easy, joyful, and expansive, yet astonishes everyone else. Amy also dives into the inspiration behind her book, I See You, which she describes as a love letter to the woman who is always visible to others, but rarely feels truly seen. She fought to keep the title against publisher pressure to make it about herself—because this book isn’t about her. It’s about you, the woman quietly carrying the weight of leadership, caregiving, and ambition, all while hiding your own exhaustion. Lisa and Amy explore everything from the scarcity mindset around money to the importance of boundaries—not just with people, but with your ideas, your goals, and your need to be right. They reflect on how perfectionism can become the greatest enemy of structure, and why choosing a better story—one rooted in compassion and possibility—is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make. “If you’re going to tell yourself a story,” Amy says, “you might as well tell yourself a good one.” This episode is a must-listen for any woman who feels like she’s doing all the things—but still wondering when it will feel like enough. It’s a conversation about being seen, yes—but more importantly, about seeing yourself again. Tune in, take a breath, and remember: the leap you're afraid to take might be the one that leads you home.

What begins as a tribute to a grieving mother becomes a ripple effect of vulnerability and healing—proving that sometimes the most profound change comes from the simplest of acts. Amy shares: 🌟 How a move to the English countryside reignited her passion for writing ❤️ The tragic yet beautiful letter exchange that sparked Dear Dana ✍🏻 Why she chose to write every one of her Facebook friends a heartfelt note 🦋 How letter writing became an emotional detox, a healing practice, and a leadership tool 🔬 The neuroscience and soulfulness behind handwritten words 🌎 How to shrink political and social divides through the radical power of personal connection  ✍🏻 Why even business leaders and sales professionals benefit from this deeply human practice With powerful anecdotes, contagious enthusiasm, and deep emotional wisdom, Amy reminds us that leaping doesn’t always look like chasing a big dream—it can also look like picking up a pen. Whether you write one note or 500, this episode invites you to rediscover the power of your own voice, the impact of intentional communication, and the unmatched magic of simply saying: I see you. 🎧 Tune in for a love letter to humanity—and consider this your sign to write the one person who’s been on your heart. 📬 Want to write Amy a letter?

In this inspiring episode of Ladies Who Leap, Lisa Andria interviews Georgi Enthoven, globally recognized speaker, advisor, and author of Work That’s Worth It: The Ambitious Professional’s Guide for a High-Impact, High-Reward Career. Georgi shares her journey from feeling torn between doing good and earning well, to discovering a career path that integrates both. Aimed at purpose-driven professionals aged 25–35, her book serves as a roadmap for aligning work with values, sustainability, and social good—without sacrificing financial stability. Georgi discusses the importance of redefining success, empowering young professionals to embrace the mindset of “getting to” change the world rather than feeling obligated to. She also introduces the idea of “Disruptors for Good”—individuals who are successfully modeling fulfilling, impactful careers. Together, Lisa and Georgi explore how we can inspire a new generation to build careers that are heart-centered, high-performing, and deeply rewarding. Discover the importance of aligning work with personal values, the challenges faced by the younger generation, and the potential of harnessing both income and social impact in one fulfilling career. Georgi and Lisa discuss the significance of finding that 'heart-centered' work and provide insights for young professionals eager to make a meaningful impact while sustaining their desired lifestyle. Lisa and Georgi also discuss how values, experiences, and personal stories shape a person’s career direction. Georgi encourages parents and mentors to ask young people about their gifts, values, and lived experiences, helping them identify their unique capabilities beyond just skills or strengths. She stresses that while past experiences offer valuable insight, they don’t necessarily dictate your future career path. For example, she shares how her personal battle with mold toxicity gave her deep knowledge, but not a desire to work in that field—highlighting the importance of discerning between what you've lived through and what you want to live for. Lisa contributes a practical NLP-based exercise to help listeners tap into their unconscious mind to uncover career values, and both women reflect on the power of tuning into intuition and trusting divine timing. Georgi shares the story of how she received the “download” to write her book and how, through coaching and feedback, she was guided to not just curate others’ stories, but courageously include her own. This leap of faith led to a second, more refined draft written specifically for a clear target audience—an important takeaway for aspiring authors. The episode closes with powerful advice: if you're going to write a book, choose a topic you're willing to talk about for the next 10 years. Passion, curiosity, and clarity of purpose are not only essential for writing, but for living a meaningful, values-aligned life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to redefine success on their own terms and take a leap toward a career that truly matters.

Laura opens up about her harrowing yet empowering journey of leaving a controlling relationship and an insular religious upbringing to create a new life on her own terms. With no college degree and limited career prospects, she leaned on her passion for fitness and a deep drive for reinvention to chart an entirely new path. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and her leap at 40 proves it’s never too late to rewrite your story. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling trapped by expectations, navigating major life transitions, or seeking the courage to start over. Laura’s wisdom on integrating physical, mental, and social wellness into our demanding lives is both practical and powerful—and her message of hope will resonate deeply with women at every stage of their journey.
