WELCOME TO SEASON 4 of The Fill Your Cup Podcast!

Are you constantly bending yourself over backwards to please people? Not really saying what you want to say? Putting your own needs and desires on the back burner for the mere hope that people will like you if you show up how you think they want you to?

Woof! Just thinking about all of that effort is exhausting, but it’s reality for so many – especially those who struggle with disordered eating and body image-related issues.

In this episode, we speak to Amy E. Smith, Certified Confidence Coach, Masterful Speaker and Personal Empowerment Expert. Amy uses her roles as coach, writer, podcaster, and speaker to move individuals to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-love.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Amy’s story of breaking from the “shoulds” including her Christian upbringing 

  • What your intuition has to do with people pleasing 

  • Listening to your inner critic (what to look for)

  • Following what feels right for you 

  • What can happen in your life when you ditch the people pleasing 

  • Taming your inner critic 

  • Kind ways you can say no to people 

  • The beauty of boundaries
