Saying YES to Living by Your Values with Amy Chambers
Join a vibrant community of women who are embracing their dreams, reclaiming their joy, and living life with intention. Join the Say YES Sisterhood!
In this inspiring conversation, Wendy is joined by coach and author Amy Chambers to explore what it means to live with intention. Amy shares how a history of people-pleasing led to burnout—and how everything changed when she created a personal vision statement that helped her prioritize what really matters. From leaving board commitments to protect her writing time to walking out of a high-stakes meeting to honor her weekly run club, Amy models what it looks like to honor your own values with clarity and grace. She shares a practical three-step script for boundary-setting and reframes the act of saying no as an empowering choice. If you've ever felt stuck in overcommitment or guilt, this episode is your permission slip to lead your life on purpose.
