The AMPLIFY Show

Today I'm sharing The AMPLIFY Show's most popular episode of all time, and one the guest said was one of her favorite interviews. It's my interview with Allie Casazza , author of Declutter Like A Mother and the host of The Purpose Show.   In this interview, we chat about how to minimize stress at home when it comes to our stuff, and the things that take up space and energy on our calendars and in...

I'm inviting you to join me for a slower, more peace-filled season with a social media sabbatical- as in, quitting social media for the next month or so.    I logged off my platforms on November 8 and plan to take a two-month digital rest.    In this episode, I'm sharing 10 reasons (technically 11 reasons, I couldn't help myself- there are so many good ones!) to quit social media - or to at least...

I'm so excited to introduce today's guest, Barbara Rapaport. She's the author of Reimagined , a memoir recounting her harrowing experience battling and surviving a rare form of cancer.    She's a successful executive coach and consultant who has worked with Fortune 500 businesses, and she's a former client of my PR firm, HAPPY PR .    Barbara is truly inspiring, intelligent, and she really makes y...

Today on The AMPLIFY Show, I'm talking with Katie Kimball of Kitchen Stewardship and Kids Cook Real Food. Katie is an online entrepreneur, blogger, and 2x TED X speaker.   In this episode, we talk about the importance of teaching kids critical thinking (and how to cook!) and how the pandemic and mandates derailed her TED Talks not once, but twice- and the resourceful way she still got them done. W...

Hi friends!   Today I was inspired to quickly record another Biz Pep Talk episode, but this one is really a biz/life pep talk.   I had a coffee meeting with a client who recently launched a sustainable clothing line and she was telling me about all of the challenges she's facing with manufacturing issues and product delays. Then, I heard from an author friend who sent me a message. And THEN, a med...

Do you ever wonder… why do I have the life I have?    The career I have?    Why do I do the things I do?   Buy the things I buy?    And what if I told you, you aren't controlling these things as much as you think you are?    In this episode, I talk with Luke Burgis, author of Wanting , about Mimetic Desire and the role it plays in our everyday lives. We also talk about how it impacts everything fr...

Today is an extra special episode. The previously scheduled interview has been moved to next week. Today I want to honor a special person, my cousin Ashley Rose. While she left the world far too soon, she made an incredible impact on the lives of many people- even complete strangers were inspired by her strength, determination, and faith.    In this episode, I share a bit about the legacy she left...

This is the first of a new series, where I'll shart short, actionable lessons and stories to help you amplify your business.   In today's episode, I answer the question: What happens when you decide to write an email to your list of thousands of people who haven't heard from you in years?   I'll tell you about my experience reviving a dead email list -- breaking down the numbers, the unsubscribes,...

Today I'm bringing my friend and business mentor, Alex Charfen, back on the show.     Alex is someone I highly respect, personally and professionally. In business, he has built multiple Inc 500 businesses, helped turn around an entire industry in crisis, and has coached hundreds of entrepreneurs to grow scalable, impactful businesses.    Alex shares such an important message for entrepreneurs. If...

This episode is for all of my moms and women who feel like they've achieved a lot, overall, yet still feel unfulfilled and overwhelmed. If you've read all the popular books from the famous women authors and you follow the big influencers in the self-help space, but their feel-good advice doesn't actually help, then this is especially for you!    I made this episode that I wish I would have heard 4...

In this episode, I'm talking about a topic that can make many people uncomfortable- death.    For thousands of years, reflecting on our own mortality and inevitable outcome has been used by philosophers and people of all kinds to be better, to do better, and to make the most of this short life.   This week I had a chance to say goodbye to my grandmother who is in her final days of life. I talk abo...

Fighting Back Against Parent Bully Mobs -- In this episode, I'm opening up about an increasing problem I've been seeing play out in my community and those across the country. It's the evergrowing "parent mobs" - groups of parents who have thrown kindness and tolerance out of the window and replaced them with anger and divisiveness.    I talk about the incident that happened in my town that was the...

I've got a great interview for you today. I'm chatting with Anthony Ongaro, author of Break The Twitch: a practical guide to minimalism, intentional living & doing more of what matters .   From the moment I read the title of his book, I knew I had to read it. It put a name to something I had been feeling for a long time, and you may be too, if you also get these twitches or impulses that prevent y...

On this episode of The AMPLIFY Show, I'm chatting with Lauren Ellman, the author of the book BRB: A Memoir About Coming of Age in The Digital Age .  This episode kicks off a sort of mini-series; I've been on a journey interviewing authors about minimalism, simplicity, and how to break free from our addiction to tech, social media, and outside affirmation. I'll be sharing more interviews with autho...

Today on the show I'm talking with Kate Erickson, one half of the duo behind the Entrepreneurs On Fire Podcast with John Lee Dumas and host of her own show, Kate's Take.  Kate runs all of the systems and processes behind Entrepreneurs on Fire and gives us an inside view of what those processes look like. I love learning how entrepreneurs have set up their multi-million dollar businesses for succes...

Hi everyone - I'm back! I had to break my weekly podcast streak this year (I was SO proud of it!) but for very good reason-- I welcomed another baby girl on April 21st, Mae Elizabeth, and she is just an absolute dream!  In this episode, I share all about planning for a maternity leave while being a mom business owner - what worked, what didn't, and what I've learned doing this a few times now. I k...

Well, I'm still waiting on baby #3 to arrive, so I decided to "birth" one more podcast episode before I take a short break from the show for maternity leave! Today I'm talking about why you should create a digital product or course. This episode applies if you have a service-based business like I do, if you're a doctor or consultant, or even if you own a local, brick and mortar business.  Obviousl...

We all have those things that are on our to-do list that get carried over week to week to week, or into the month, or even into the next year. In today's episode, I'm sharing all about how to finally stop procrastinating on those things and how to GET STUFF DONE! You know the saying, "if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it?" Well, I think you could also say "if you want something d...

If you're a high performer, and I'm guessing you are, you've probably achieved a good amount of success but still find yourself feeling a sense of lack, or unhappiness. If so, then this episode is for you.  Today I'm talking with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, the author of the new book (out this month) called Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety . She holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology...

Missy Narula is also the inventor behind Diapertainment and one of my clients with HAPPY PR .  We recently did publicity for Diapertainment, her innovative parenting solution for squirmy diaper changes. We chat about the juggle with home and work that moms have had d...

Today on the show I'm talking with John Lee Dumas, the award winning host of Entrepreneurs on Fire.  I've had JLD on the show before , and I've been on his podcast . I call JLD the godfather of podcasting because he was one of the first to really focus on the entrepreneur niche in podcasts. Today John and I talk about his newest book The Common Path to Uncommon Success . As someone who has intervi...

Today I'm talking with Katya Libin, the CEO and co-founder of HeyMama and one of the Center for Women & Wealth's 20 most inspiring women to watch out for in 2020. HeyMama is a private online community of entrepreneurial and working moms from around the globe.  Katya talks about how she started HeyMama, her background and moving to the US when she was 3, and we talk about the importance of communit...

It's hard to believe it's been nearly a year since I took my business, HAPPY PR, all remote. Like so many other businesses, our in-person team started working from home, and we've decided to stay that way.  Today I'm diving more into the transition of running an in-person, service-based business to an online business model and how you can optimize it for success. Switching from an in-person busine...

In today's episode, I'm talking about the fine balance in being visible online while still being present in LIFE.    As an entrepreneur, being visible online and having a brand presence on social media is important. At the same time, social media and attachment to our devices are changing the way we live, think, and feel. They're distracting us from living present, mindful lives. As a mom who has...

When this episode goes live, I'll be in the middle of my longest "unplugged" vacation yet. Unplugged for me means not traveling with a laptop or having to work more than a few check-ins here & there. While I do keep an eye on emails, I don't feel the need to respond to anything that is not urgent. Other than checking in with my team occasionally, I don't have any obligations other than enjoying ti...
