We’re doing something new today! Last month, I did a major update to my Game Changer and added an audio option to each lesson so that you have the option to listen to your daily 10-15 minutes lesson during your commute, while going for a walk, or while washing dishes or folding laundry instead of having to sit down and read. My goal is to make this journey as easy as possible for you. Since I now have the audio, this is a glimpse of one of the first lessons in the Game Changer that teaches a key concept if you’re wanting to make healthy changes but keep promising yourself you’ll start tomorrow or if you’re making healthy changes but they feel hard and unsustainable. There are really 3 Wellness Levels, but our world acts like here are only 2 and both of those are pretty unappealing and uncomfortable. After listening to this episode, let me know which one sounds most familiar to you!P.s. Check out "Life Boost with Amelia" podcast Episode 57: Unleashing Your Inner Unstoppable Bad-Ass. Around minute 28 there's an exercise with a guided mental rehearsal/hypnosis to help you to start unchaining the things that have been holding you back. Connect with me on your favorite social media channel: Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

In this episode, Dr. Stacey Cordivano shares her story of experiencing and recovering from burnout. As a solo ambulatory equine veterinarian and mom with two kids under the age of 3, she knew something had to change when she found herself driving to the hospital to have her appendix out after cooking Thanksgiving dinner.  Just a couple of months earlier, she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease and experienced the emotional trauma of needing to wean her second child from nursing early. Despite making some changes, a year later she found herself asking, "What am I doing? Am I really making a difference?". That's when she started to discover personal development podcasts which introduced her to a whole new world that helped her start her journey of recovering from burnout. Now, in addition to being a practice owner, equine vet, and mother, she is the host of the podcast, The Whole Veterinarian, where she has conversations with out-of-the-box thinkers who share new ideas on ways veterinarians can add more joy to their life to feel whole again. In this episode, she shares tips that have helped her to recover from burnout and she shares her perspective as a practice owner for what helps to create a "unicorn veterinary hospital" - a hospital where employees feel lucky to work at their practice because they're supported, respected, and valued so that they can provide veterinary care in a way that feels good and still have energy left at the end of the day to be a human outside of vet med. Stacey is such a cool person, and I know you're going to get so much out of this conversation!

A lot has happened since my last episode! I'm starting this season with a review and reflections from 2023 (which was a huge year of learning, growth, and creation - especially when it comes to all things MIND like self-directed neuroplasticity, memory reconsolidation, and hypnosis ) and then I dive into 2024 which has already been a wild ride in unexpected, scary, but also eye-opening and exciting ways.

If I had to boil down everything that I teach in order to create positive change and to live a fulfilling life to three words they would be compassion, curiosity, and connection.

The moment my life changed was the moment I started to see the unconscious chains that had been holding me back from everything that I wanted but I didn't think was possible. It felt like suddenly the clouds were parting and everything seemed sunnier and more colorful. Since that moment, I've been on a mission to help others experience that same feeling like a huge weight is being lifted off your shoulders and you can breathe again. In this episode, I give examples of how unconscious chains (like limiting beliefs and automatic habits/patterns) hold us back and make our life harder and more uncomfortable than it has to be. Here are the free resources mentioned in this podcast episode:My Favorite 1 Minute Anti-Anxiety Tool + 6 Powerful Ways To Use It: https://www.lifeboost.today/mysecretweaponThe Life Boost Starter Kit: https://www.lifeboost.today/lifebooststarterkitSchedule a complimentary 1 hour coaching clarity call here or get the clarity worksheetBeat The Burnout Series for all veterinary professionals: https://www.lifeboost.today/beatburnoutConnect with me on your favorite social media channel: Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

In this episode, I talk about how our society has normalized turning to things that don't make us feel good in order for a brief reprieve from the judgmental inner thoughts and voices that are holding us back and weighing us down. It has been so normalized that most people don't even realize the price they're willing to pay for those moments when they feel free. When you start to become aware of those thoughts and inner critics and call them out, you start to feel free in life and those things like alcohol and unhealthy food become so much less appealing. The first part of the episode includes a chat about a recent trip to Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia, geocaching, exploring, epic wedding ideas, and the struggles of natural deodorant. 😉Favorite dance party song: Edamame by Bbno$Start creating change and ditching the negative thoughts and voices with my favorite 1 minute anti-anxiety tool and secret weapon: https://www.lifeboost.today/mysecretweaponIf you enjoy this episode, please leave a review!Connect with me on your favorite social media channel: Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

This episode was inspired by the new weight loss injection, Wegovy, and the recent narrative that obesity is mainly caused by genetics and other factors out of your control. If you're overweight or obese, it's highly likely your doctor will recommend Wegovy, and there are some very important things you should be aware of before deciding if that's right for you. This episode is for everyone regardless of your health status or weight. This is a PSA to shed light on why the norm in our country is to be sick, overweight, and/or unhappy. You will be shocked to learn how many of the health and nutrition messages and guidelines you likely trust are actually coming from individuals and companies who benefit from you being sick and overweight. We are stuck in a vicious cycle in our country when it comes to health, and in order to free yourself from the cycle and to approach healthy in a way that helps you to feel energized and alive you need to break the norm.

One thing that isn’t talked about a lot: sometimes in order to step into the truest, most authentic version of you and to live in “Life Boost Wellness Level 3”, you need to let go of parts of your identity.
