The Key to Courage Podcast

The world feels pretty broken now. And so do we.  But what if I told you that you are NeverBroken? What if you knew that fact all along? It may not change how we feel (we still go through the tough stuff). But it can change how we heal and, ultimately, it can change our entire approach to life. In this powerful episode, we talk about why we are taught throughout our lives that we can break; then, we bust that myth and lay the groundwork for an entirely new mindset, where YOU are at the core, fully whole.  Because you, as an innate identity, are NeverBroken. No one can touch that, unless you believe it. So, the key is getting you to believe in your neverbrokenness - and believe in yourself - as the powerful, beautiful, unique YOU that you are. From there, better healing, brighter shining, and limitless possibilities abound. In this discussion, we cover the hows, the whys, visualizations, and usable strategies to apply this concept in your everyday life. As a result, we revolutionize your world and empower you to see yourself as the greatness that you are for exactly who you choose that YOU to be.

Words matter. We’ve heard it said before. But now, more than ever, words hold sway in everything from family discussions and casual encounters, to the success of political campaigns. But it is more than just the words at face value and the topics discussed. Words hold POWER. And there is no place that they hold more power than in regard to our beliefs and identities. In this episode, we dive into this power, discussing everything from the vernacular in wishing someone happy holidays, to pronouns, gender roles, and names. We discuss, most deeply, the psychological effect our word usage in upbringing into adulthood has had on decisions we make and what we believe. We talk about how these words have affected everything from elections to our own fight for gender equality. Be prepared to question why you believe what you believe and explore whether or not we need to be looking at changing some of our most deep-seated traditions.

Yes…yes, I said it. Even Barbie has a man’s last name. Why do I point this out? Why is it important? Have a listen! In this episode, we dive fully into an exploratory conversation about gender identity, gender equality, and how deep-seated beliefs and systems have affected - and continue to affect - the pursuit and fight for freedom in self identity and equality for everyone. Considering my own experiences with name change, we use this topic as an example of very “acceptable,” and yet quietly unaddressed, archaic systems (in this case patrilineal surnames) that we cannot deny may have had, and still have, lasting effects on our psyches, particularly as women, nonbinary, and transgendered individuals (not to mention many other inequalities that still exist). The bigger point of the episode is addressing the need to have these kinds of conversations. Everyone has a right to choose in the matter of traditions (cultural, religious, and otherwise); but when it comes to automatic systems, the fact that some are still so outrightly gendered and lopsided, it makes it imperative that we discuss the effect that these systems, traditions, and certain semantics have had, and continue to have, on our own self-perception, the minds of our children, and the barriers these may pose to our own impression of what is acceptable and possible. Buckle up for a very heartfelt and passionate immersion into this more-than-worthy and timely topic.

In this episode, we start out talking very candidly about what it means to be tagged a “dangerous woman,” hitting on many of the underlying hurdles in the ongoing fight for gender equality. We discuss how words truly matter and are, quite often, weaponized in order to influence, disempower, and demoralize. We, then, dive right into exposing the double standards, particularly in light of women seeking to take on leadership roles. We discuss positive and empowering qualities often held by “dangerous women,” flipping the script into positivity and demonstrating how these features work to our advantage, not disadvantage. Lastly, we list off seven very clear benefits of being a dangerous woman, dangerous in the sense that we rock the boat, tip the ship, and dare to step and move us forward into an era of more compassion, discussion, courage, and equality - for everyone.

In this mini “nugget,” we talk briefly about how life can serve you both lemons and lemonade AT THE SAME TIME. And that’s okay. It’s called life. The challenge is to keep moving forward and to appreciate the lemonade while plowing through the lemons and not letting them pull you off course. While acknowledging rough stuff, we reflect on the benefit of gratitude in the mix and embracing life at every stage as much as we can.

We all know it sucks to not feel supported, especially by those we think love us. And for some reason, some of these people in our lives can’t help but punch holes in our dreams. Every chance they get, they find the flaws rather than encourage us to keep going. What gives? This short nugget episode lays it out plainly - you are “outside of the box” while others are inside. And that’s okay. It doesn’t mean that they don’t care for you. In some cases, that is their way of showing it. But - I can attest - it feels lousy, either way.  The key thing to understand is that you and they are very different in your way of thinking. If they were to support, encourage, or help you, by doing so, they would risk exposing their own limited thinking.  We talk about this notion and a few other possibilities to help you reframe, going from something that feels bad and hard into something that should help you re-perceive and rise above.  Download a free self-discovery tool, the True You Blueprint, here: https://www.amy-infinity.com/True-You-Blueprint For more inspiration, encouragement, free resources, and a kick in the pants, find me on all socials as @amyriseinfinity and at AmyInfinity.com.
