Words Mean Nothing. Actions Tell Me Everything.


👣 WALK YOUR TALK with Amy

A Weekly Dose of Truth, Freedom & Love


Opening Up

Hi Reader,

I’m in a season right now.

A season of opening.

I want to be out in the world. I want connection. I want conversation. I want to feel people again.

So I’ve been saying YES.

I’ve been going dancing. I joined a new gym. I’m smiling more. Going outside more. Saying hi. Starting conversations. Throwing out a rope and letting people decide if they want to grab it or not.

And something shifted.

For the first time in eight years, I feel open to masculine energy coming in!


Trusting the Opening

For a long time, I wasn’t, eight years to be exact.

Not even a little.

I was focused on my kids, my business, my healing. And truthfully, I had no desire to engage with men at all. I didn’t attract it because I wasn’t available for it.

But now I am.

And when I opened, my world met me there.

Conversations at the gym, park, out and about. Even in the most random places, men are approaching me.

It’s been light, easy and fun with no pressure.

And I’ve been allowing it, engaging with it.


The Old Pattern Shows Up

There was one man in particular.

We had chemistry. It was mutual. For about five weeks, we had a "flirtship" at the gym.

I found myself picking out outfits the night before. Asking for help on machines I didn’t really need help with. Letting myself soften and play in that energy.

And I enjoyed it.

But here’s what became crystal clear:

Chemistry without effort or consistency is not enough for me anymore.


Breaking the Old Pattern

The old version of me would have stayed.

I would have held onto his words.
“I’m interested.”
“I’ll text you.”
“I’ll take you out.”

But this is my new standard:

Words mean nothing. Actions tell me everything I need to know about you.

So I watched.

And when the actions didn’t match, I made a decision.

I pulled my energy back.

Clean, Clear and Confident with no over explaining.


The Opportunity to Say NO

The pattern came back so I could choose differently.

So I could finally say NO to it, not because I regressed.

In the past, I would have stayed longer. Tried harder. Made it my responsibility to keep something going.

Not anymore.

In order to call in what you want you must first be willing to say NO to what you don't want.

This was my chance to finally say NO to something not aligned from the jump and I did!


Creating a New Standard

I’m no longer available to be everything in my relationships.

I’m not here to carry it, lead it, or hold it together on my own.

I’m here for Mutuality.

I will do my part.
And I will not do yours.

You have the opportunity to show up as you are.

And I will respond accordingly.

That’s the standard.


Trusting Myself in Connection

What feels different now is this:

I trust myself.

I trust that I can open without losing myself.
I trust that I can feel attraction without attaching.
I trust that I can walk away from something fun and flirty because I know it’s not enough for me.

That’s power.

That’s what creates space for something more.


Going Forward

I’m no longer avoiding connection.

And I’m no longer abandoning myself inside of it.

That’s the difference.

My energy is back with me.

Open. Available. But grounded in who I am and what I want.


This Is the Work

If you’re reading this and something in you feels activated … good!

That is the part that learned to hold on, wait, prove, or overgive to feel chosen and it needs you to say NO.

That’s the same part of you ready to have standards, needs and desires and it needs you to say YES.

This is exactly the work I do with women.

Not just changing behavior on the surface, but healing the part of you that feels unsafe allowing, receiving, letting others meet you in the middle.

Because when that part heals, everything changes.

You don’t have to force standards, do more or convince someone else to change.

You just do what needs to be done.

Naturally. Cleanly. Confidently.

If you’re ready to raise your standards, trust yourself, and stop repeating the same old patterns, let’s talk.

Book a free Clarity Call with me and we’ll get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck and what your next step looks like.

👣 WALK YOUR TALK with Amy A Weekly Dose of Truth, Freedom & Love "I don't need to be mother fu*king mother Theresa." She came in wanting to stop being so angry. I just had one of those coaching sessions that left an impression. My client came in filled with anger and hatred directed at her partner. And she HATED it. She basically wanted me to help her make it STOP. But we didn't try to make anything stop. We didn't try to turn the anger into gratitude, compassion or forgiveness. We sat...

👣 WALK YOUR TALK with Amy A Weekly Dose of Truth, Freedom & Love I Ate the Damn Pizza 🍕 I almost said no to something I really wanted. Last weekend, a friend and I went to the Jazz & Blues Festival in Morristown, NJ. We had done our proper research beforehand and had a whole list of restaurants, shops and places we wanted to check out. We were walking down South Street when I look up and see Coniglio’s. I’d heard about this pizza place several times before. Then I noticed a couple sitting...

I’m learning more and more that most explanations are HIGHLY unnecessary. And over-explanations? For God’s sake, can we PLEASE just eliminate them all together? I appreciate a short, simple yes or no and then maybe 1 short follow up sentence. How about you? I learned this years ago as a nurse manager. I used to run an entire hospital at night.
