[Ep#230] Turning Challenges into Growth and Celebrating Your Journey
Description
Feeling overwhelmed by challenges?
Welcome to the Women in Leadership Podcast! I’m Annemarie Cross, and I’m so excited to share this space where we support and empower women to overcome challenges and celebrate their successes.
In today’s episode, Turning Challenges into Growth and Celebrating Your Journey, I’m joined by the incredible Amy Yip. Amy is a mental fitness executive coach, keynote speaker, TEDx presenter, and author who believes that mindset—not circumstances—is the key to happiness and success.
Amy’s story is truly inspiring. She went from leading global teams at Google to following her passion for coaching and volunteering in Ghana, only to face unexpected detours during the pandemic. We’ll talk about how she navigated those challenges, the importance of celebrating small victories, and practical tools like journaling and walking to manage life’s overwhelm.
I can’t wait for you to hear Amy’s story and the powerful lessons she has to offer. Let’s get started!
Here are 3 key takeaways from this powerful episode:
Mindset Over Circumstances: Amy Yip shares her powerful belief that our mindset plays a crucial role in navigating life's challenges. She offers practical exercises like drawing a lifeline to reflect on life's highs and lows, emphasizing the importance of trusting that positive shifts will follow tough times.
Courageous Conversations: Fear often hinders our ability to communicate effectively. Amy presents the concept of "courageous conversations," urging us to engage in honest dialogues without preconceived notions. This approach has the potential to significantly improve our relationships both personally and professionally.
Celebrate Your Wins: Amy opens up about the struggle to celebrate successes due to societal and familial expectations. She underscores the significance of acknowledging small victories, which can lead to reduced stress, enhanced joy, and improved physical health.
