You know that thing you keep saying you want to do…but haven’t done yet? This episode is for you. In this solo episode, I explore what it’s really costing you when you stay stuck: emotionally, energetically, and mentally. It’s not just about time. When you delay taking action on something you care about, it chips away at your confidence, drains your energy, and blocks your sense of fulfillment. This episode will help you get real with yourself about what you want, what's holding you back and if you're ready to take action or if it's time to let it go.

Plus I share a teaser about the research I've been conducting! The results will be released on September 1 and those on my email list will be the first to know all about it. Jump on there at amandamckinney.com/free

What if the very words you use to describe yourself are holding you back? In this episode, therapist and entrepreneur Christy Pennison joins me for a powerful conversation about how labels—like "procrastinator" or "not business-minded"—can quietly limit our potential. We explore the importance of self-awareness, the difference between identity and habit, and how small, brave steps (plus the right support!) can help you rewrite the story you’re living by. If you're ready to release the labels that no longer serve you, this one’s for you.

You’ve likely heard someone say “just visualize it” but what does that even mean in the middle of a chaotic Tuesday or when you’re spinning out about your next big move? In this episode, executive coach Lauren Berlin breaks down the practice of visualization in a way that’s actually doable (and dare we say fun) for everyday life and entrepreneurship.

We talk about how to use visualization when you’re overwhelmed, why you’re probably already doing it without realizing it, and how to make it personal so it actually works for you. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the idea of “manifesting” but secretly wanted to feel more in flow, this conversation is the bridge between ambition and alignment.

In this special episode, I’m sharing a powerful message from my friend Assia Mahmood, originally aired on her podcast She Busy. It hit me so deeply that I asked if I could share it with you too.

Assia unpacks a phrase we all need in our back pocket: “I reserve the right to change my mind.” As entrepreneurs, we’re taught to follow through at all costs but what if honoring your original plan is actually getting in the way of your vision? This episode is your permission slip to let go of what’s not working, pivot when needed, and lead with clarity instead of ego. You don’t owe loyalty to the first plan—you owe it to your vision.

Bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Annie F. Downs joins me to share how she built a thriving business by staying in her zone of genius—and letting go of everything else. In this honest and energizing conversation, Annie pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to pursue big goals without burning out, from hiring before you feel ready to embracing radical accountability as a form of self-care.

We dive into how personality tools like the Enneagram influence team dynamics, why asking for help is a game-changer, and how to build a sustainable life around the things only you can do. Whether you're a solopreneur or building a team, this episode will challenge you to think differently about growth, boundaries, and the support you actually need.
