164 | You're One Shift Away From Changing Everything: Step Into a New Level of Success, Joy, and Purpose

You are one shift away from your next level.

Not more motivation.
 Not more discipline.
 Not starting over… again.

In this episode, I break down the shift that changes everything… why the start-and-stop cycle isn’t a motivation problem, it’s an identity and process problem.

When you change the way you see yourself and the way you move, everything begins to change.

We’re redefining success through a faith-led lens and walking through the Truth Loop, a simple framework that helps you build consistent action without hustle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 • Why you keep starting over… even when you know what to do
 • The identity patterns that are keeping you stuck
 • My personal story of burnout, healing, and rebuilding in a sustainable way
 • A new definition of success rooted in faithfulness, not performance
 • The Worthy Woman Way: faithful, fruitful, fully alive, finish strong
 • The Truth Loop: transforming thoughts, empowered emotions, aligned actions
 • How to shift your thinking and finally follow through

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and step into consistent, aligned action… this is your shift.

Let me ask you something. If you know what to do, why aren't you doing it consistently? Why does it feel like you get momentum and then lose it? What is actually causing that? Do you ever feel like there's a next level inside of you, more of you to access, and you just can't seem to figure out how to get to that part of yourself. And then you might stay stuck in cycles of busyness, and you're doing stuff, but if you're honest, you're not really getting the results that your efforts could be producing. What's off? It's a fair question. And I want to say that you are one shift away from changing everything. If you're listening to this, I know that you've read the books, you know what to do, and it's probably very likely that you've started and stopped. Listen, if effort alone worked, girlfriend, you would already be right where you want to be. And I'm gonna share with you a massive shift. If you will implement this one shift, it will radically change your life. All right. Big promise, right? For those of you who I haven't met, my name is Amy Ramsey. I am so excited that you are listening to this podcast. I have spent more than 25 years coaching high high capacity, purpose-filled women in health and performance professionally and personally in life and leadership strategies. My work sits at the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and execution, helping women, I help women stop spinning and start moving forward with clarity and with confidence. But what I don't teach is hustle and hustle culture. I teach alignment, I teach structure, and I teach a follow-through. So your life and your results match the calling that's inside of you. There was a time I'm a victim of domestic violence and abuse. And there was a time that I let negative mindsets rule my life. And it kept me stuck for gosh, about 10 years. And then I started to learn the power of just my identity in Jesus Christ and who he said I was. I began to get healed up and delivered from all of all of the trauma. And what I found was that I wanted to use my life, use any parts of my story that could help people. And I became passionate about helping other women get unstuck. So I was on my own trek to figuring this out. I hit clinical burnout. And that led me down a path of understanding a couple of things, how to steward my ambition in a way that made sense, but also how to do it sustainably. And that's when I fell in love with the science of high performance habits. I started to learn about my identity and neuroscience and how to rewire my brain based on God's word and not the way I felt. And then I learned the power of the six high performance pillars, the science behind that. I became certified in that. And now it's my passion, it's my calling, it's my mission to help women walk worthy of their own calling and to help them do it in a sustainable way where they actually can achieve massive levels of success and also more joy, more purpose, more energy, all with in and conquer their productivity, all in a sustainable way. So if you're high capacity and you're doing all the things, and if you're seeing that your efforts are not hitting the results that you're putting forth, and you're struggling with this internal tension of striving versus surrender. Striving versus surrender, girl. I've got you, I am you. Um, and here's maybe this realization that it's not what you're doing, but perhaps it's how you're operating. And you don't need more information. I'm just gonna share with you, you don't need more information, you need a new process. And that's who I was and that's what I did. Most women, unfortunately, they chase achievement. It's, I believe it's remnants of unworthiness. It's almost like we feel better if we're doing and instead of operating from a place of being. When we are God's daughters, when we are children of the Most High, when we are believers in Jesus Christ, the scripture says that we are already chosen, loved, fully accepted, redeemed. The scripture goes on and on to tell us how we are worthy. We're already deemed worthy because of the work that Jesus Christ did on the cross. But most women still feel better about trying to do and achieve. And it it stems back to a lack of unworthiness. And what I have learned in my own life, and I've seen it play out in the hundreds of clients that I have helped through the years, is that so many women are still moving forward, they're doing good things, but they're absolutely exhausted and they're uh inconsistent with their efforts and even like disconnected from the things that matter most. And so I want to share with you in this podcast and in the work that I do, how can we actually go further faster and still like have success in the things that God's calling us to do, but stay in alignment with our assignment. So I'm so glad that you're here. I'm so glad you pushed yes and go on this private podcast. I pray it blesses you because I know that you have such a call of God on your life. I know that there are things just for you to do. And I want you to understand the science of high performance. And also I want to give you a few tools and one tool in in one, I want to give you one tool specifically that I have watched transform my clients' lives in 30 days or less. And I know it can transform yours too. Okay, so if you're ready, I'm ready. Let's get started. Now, the first thing I want to ask you is what is your definition of success? They say that success is what we define it as. And what I find that when we're moving forward in the things, in our vocation, in our lives, that we can often lose sight, we can drift away from what is success. So let me ask you right now, what does success look like for you? If you could have all of the success in the world with your pursuits that you're chasing right now, what would it be? What would that end result be? The Miriam's Miriam's dictionary says that success means achieving a favorable or desirable outcome, the attainment of wealth, favor, ultimately becoming someone or something that succeeds. So that's what the definition of success is, which made me really start to think what would success be like in my own life? And I heard this quote by Mother Teresa, and it really stuck with me. She says, God has not called me to be successful, He has called me to be faithful. And I love that so much because we can lose sight of the most important things if we're not careful. You know, recently I I had joined a mentorship, and right when I joined, they asked me, What do I need to do? And what do I want to do to be the top 1% success? And I thought to myself, if the top 1% requires more of me, I don't want success. And that's when I really started to redefine what success mean to me. And so I started to work on a framework for myself, for my life. I hit clinical burnout. I had achieved massive levels of success in my life. And there was a time where it was things were out of balance. My life was out of alignment. And for me, I was chasing accolades and applause of man instead of really honing into what does God want me to do right now? I knew I was out of alignment, but there were a couple things that happened in my life that were a couple things that were personal, and then there was something professional that happened, and I was finally at a point of I couldn't keep juggling all the balls anymore in the air. Like I was losing, like I'm trying to juggle, and balls were falling all over the place. And I was like, oh my goodness. And then I hit clinical burnout. Um, if you've ever, if you even understand or know what that is, it's like your hormones just give out on you. And I was toast. But I my family needed more of me in that season. And I had to redo, I had to redefine success and had to re-define what did God want for me in that season of my life? And I finally hit a point of surrender. And let me tell you, it was it was the most beautiful thing because if we're just chasing success, if we're just chasing titles, if we're just chasing the dollar bills, then titles become idols and we're gonna get off on the wrong path. And so I want to help you walk worthy of the calling that's inside of you. I'm gonna share with you what I believe is the definition of success. Anytime I start to share about my story, I have women that will come to me and say, Oh my gosh, that happened to me, that happened to me. I was pursuing these things and I just went way out of alignment. And it's almost like we hit an all or nothing. And there's just a better way. I have a program, in fact, I'm gonna tell you about it here in in in just a minute, but I have a program called the 90-day accelerate her. And in this program, my goal is to teach the high performance habits of how you can actually do the things that matter most and move the needle forward in your life rather than doing more. And one of my clients recently, I was talking about my own story of burnout, and she popped in and she was like, you know what? The same thing happened to me. And I had worked so hard on various degrees and furthering her education. And finally, she was at that dream job and her dream position, and it was demanding all of this of her. And finally, she just kind of hit, just like I did, a breaking point and said, Okay, never mind. I don't want all that. Why did I even think I wanted all that? And I know that oftentimes our pursuit of success starts with like a true, a good heart. And sometimes we don't know what we don't know, right? So I know that if this is resonating with you, I want to give you a framework that is really helped me and my clients and my accelerate her program move further faster because we understand what success mean to us. I started to think about, you know, what what what what do I want my 85-year-old self to have? We know from the work of Brony Ware and how she interviewed all of the patients that were on hospice. They the there were five five things that she came up with that she found dying people, their top five regrets, one of which was working too hard. One of which was not living their authentic self. And so I started to think through, oh my gosh, I don't want that to be my story. I don't want to get to the end of my life and say, man, I wish I wouldn't have worked so hard. But what do I want? What does God want of me? If, like what Mother Teresa said, that God's not called me to be successful, but faithful, what does that mean? So I thought, I want, I want to leave kingdom impact. I want to be faithful to God and leave kingdom impact. And so here's a couple of questions that I really started to frame up in when I'm starting to look for this framework that helped me identify my yeses and my no's. Okay, so it's four things. And I just want to give this to you really quickly. And I call this the worthy woman way. And number one is to be faithful, it's to walk with God, it's to obey him, it's to have that intimacy, have that abiding life with him. So number one is faithfulness. Number two is to be fruitful, to serve others well, to love them well. Obedience produces impact. Obedience produces multiplication, that my works that I'm obeying God in my life are not just evident to me, but they're improving the lives of others. So faithful, fruitful. The third one is to live fully alive, is to live that thriving, abundant life that Jesus says is mine. I want to live that life. I want to have energy. I want to have joy. I want to have that sense of thrivingness, of purpose, and to have all of that. Like I want it all. Like there's no shame in my game. I want you to have it all too. And then that fourth lens that I want you to think about success is a finish strong. That you at the end of your life, you can say, I ran my race well. I was persistent, I persevered, I was resilient, I was strong, because surely as life happens, the obstacles will come. You will have adversity. That's what Jesus says in the Bible, but that you will finish strong. So faithfulness, fruitfulness, fully alive, and finish strong. What if we looked at our lives, and this is the core four, that we run success through, and we can determine there, how am I doing? One of the things that I know that I know that I know that keeps us stuck and that will keep you in your stuck self is when we are operating from our false identity. And when we're operating from a less than. So let's talk about now that we've redefined success, I want to share with you what I believe the real problem is when you are not moving at that capacity and that pace that you actually know you're possible that's possible within you. And I don't believe it's necessarily a discipline problem. Here's what it is: you have the way that God wired you and made you. Let's call that your true self or your true identity. And that's the way that God sees you, and that's the way that God wants you to move forward in this world. But we live in a very fallen world. Things happen to us, and we we can operate from the false identity or our false self. And so pride, ego, fear, all of that is from our false self, where God is saying, I want you to operate from love and from abundance and from joy and from peace and from calmness. And that false self is that striving, it's that ego, it's that anxiety, it's that chaos. And when we get in our false self, our thoughts are all over the place. Our emotions are up and down. We're allowing our emotions to drive, to drive the, what are they get the driver's seat? And it causes inconsistent action and very frustrating results. And when we start to think about the false self, you've got to remember you absolutely have an enemy that does not want you to succeed, right? You have the enemy that comes to kill, steal, and destroy. And Jesus is like, no, I came to give you life more abundantly, but it looks different. Success with me looks different than the way it looks in the world. So here's the thing: when you can start to identify your stuck cycles, you will be able to make more success. And I want to share with you a breakthrough tool that we use in Accelerate Her. This tool is called the Truth Loop. And this is a powerful tool. One of the things that we do, it's in the Worthy Woman planner, and we do this in the Accelerate Her, is we really focus on our identity, who we already are in Christ. The power that Jesus says inside of us is dunamos power, dynamite power. So if I focus on who he says that I am, that I'm already significant, I am a masterpiece, I am made for more. He's called me to certain things that he wants me to go do. I am anointed, I am equipped, and I am called for it, and I am capable because of him, because of that power that's inside of me. And then I stand in my authority, I can move forward at peace, at the rate of peace and grace. It's so powerful when you understand this truth loop. So I want to take just a few moments. I want to explain this to you. But before I do, I want to share with you a testimonial that a friend of mine who is in my Accelerate Her program, she joined us. And the Accelerate Her program is a 90-day coaching container. This 90 days, what I found is that women are getting stuck and they're overwhelmed and oftentimes they start procrastinating, or they're just like in this hustle mode and they're not creating the results that they want. And I know the science of achieving goals. I know the science of high performance habits. And I absolutely know the power of God's word. And so the power of God's word that says that as a man thinks, so he is. And so I'm watching women get stuck in their false self and get out of alignment spiritually. And then they're just in this state of perpetual inconsistencies and it's very frustrating. So when I started to apply these high-performance habits into my own life and apply these systems and strategies, which is my superpower, I started to watch other women get unlocked very, very quickly. So I want you to pay attention to this. I want you to lean in. Let me tell you about joy and how she said in 30 days it radically changed her life. She was in tears. She joined to make more money in her business, to hit a certain level in her business. That's why she joined me. And in 30 days, she came to me in tears. She hit the goal that she wanted to hit. And she said that it's not just changing that, but it's changing my marriage. It's changing how I show up as a mother. It's legitimately changing my life. I am following through. I am finally being that consistent woman. And it's just the cusp because now that I understand this truth loop, now that I understand what to do and how to do it, I know that I can continue and that I can build the consistency and the success moving forward. So she got in alignment with God's best for her and then started to implement the tools. And this is the one tool that next level for you is understanding your truth loop. This is the centerpiece. Okay. So here it is. It's three things that I want you to really think about. Number one, before we start to talk about those three things, is what are the results that you want? What is the desired outcome that you want in your life? I want you to think about that. What is it that you want? Is it more peaceful, calm life? Is it a healthier body? I want you to think through very specifically what is the outcome that you want in your life? And then I want you to think through these three things because you can change anything in your life with your thoughts, your actions, and your habits. But how do we get to the actions and the habits, right? How do we actually achieve that part? Well, that is what I want to share with you is the truth loop. So we take three things. Number one, transforming thoughts. We identify what you're thinking, and I want you to replace it with the truth. One of the things that I kind of find, like it kind of chuckles that I kind of chuckle at is some people are able to just really identify things real quick, you know, their emotions, their thoughts, and pull them out. I'm not that girl. Like I wish that I was. And so what I created is a truth loop cheat sheet. And it's inside the worthy woman planner. And we talk about this all the time in the Accelerate Her. This truth loop cheat sheet helped. You to quickly identify transforming thoughts so you can sit from a place. I mean, the scripture says, come on, Romans 12, 2 says, do not be conformed to the patterns of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The scripture says, as a man thinketh, so he is. Out of the abundance of the heart does the mouth flow. So let me tell you, your thoughts are powerful and your words are power. The power of life and death is in the tongue. So the more that we can identify our stinking thinking and the thoughts that are holding us back is so much power. And the more that you start to really watch your words and speak life over your life and power over you, it will change your life. So we start with our transforming thoughts and identify what you're thinking and replace it with the truth. Number two is empowered emotions. And this is where we really build that emotional resiliency. I'm so excited for you to jump in and try this. And I can't wait for you to experience how it feels to reset. You know what? Your emotions don't have to drive you. They don't. And if your emotions are leading you into patterns of anxiety and depression and all sorts of negative emotions that you don't want in your life, I want to encourage you to take this wholeheartedly. So the second thing you do is your empowered emotions is what do you want? What do you want to feel? How do you want to feel to achieve that result, that desired outcome that we've that you've said that you wanted? You need your transforming thought, empowered emotions, and last is your aligned actions. This isn't hustle, but this is focused, intentional, consistent action that you've predetermined. For me to get this desired result, I have to do these actions. I can't just think about it. Faith without works is dead, right? So I can't just think about it. But what can I do to achieve these actions? And then the thing is, is that once you start to align your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions, you're gonna get the results that you want. It's like a loop will reinforce your identity. And your identity, that strengthened identity and who you already are, I promise you, is going to fuel your momentum. This is how you become the woman who follows through. The more you practice this truth loop and these transforming thoughts, that means the Bible will tell you that you're chosen, you're redeemed, you're peaceful, you're new, you're victorious, you're whole, you're worthy, you're forgiven, you're fearless, you're holy, you're loved, you're accepted, you're as you're strong, you're secure, you're called, you're enough, you're healed, you're protected, you're confident, you're an ambassador, you're radiant. I could go on and on and on. You're a light. And so when we step into that and reinforce that thought in our life by doing this, and the way that it's set up in the planner is that you will do this every single day. It will rewire your brain. It will actually reorganize. The science behind it is you're reorganizing your thought processes and you're able to recalibrate quicker and quicker. That's one of the things that I help women do in the Accelerate Her program, is I help walk them through this with accountability, with coaching, weekly coaching. And one of the things that they love the most is every single morning I send them a faith-activated text, a private podcast directly to their phone where they can listen to. I want you moving forward in your life. I want you doing all of the things that God's calling you to do. And I believe it does take a village. I believe that as women rise and we come together, it creates this momentum and shift together. And that's exactly what's happening inside of the Accelerate Her program. Let me tell you a little bit about Bonnie, who came to me. She came because she wanted to finish writing a book. She had this book on her heart. And we started working together. And it's so beautiful when someone comes to me for a very specific task. But as we start to work, it's like, hey, wait a minute. I want to really focus on my health. I'm letting my health go by the wayside. I want to focus on my marriage. I want to focus on my children. And so we get back to what matters most and what are the needle-moving activities to do to move you forward through your through your life to get you those results that you want. So it's redefining success for sure. It's understanding like what are the thoughts that I need to have in my life, and what is it that's going to help me to produce those results? Because you don't need more motivation. What you need is a process. These women that have had so much success. I had one woman come to me and she got clarity after our one-on-one call. And after that first call, she doubled her income just because she needed someone to come in and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, what's going on here? And I was able to help her come up with a strategy and regroup so she could make them make the money that she she should have been making all along. And she knew it. She just needed someone to help hold her accountable to go ahead and do that. Because it was scary to go in and ask for double. And she did it within one week and doubled her income. How cool is that, right? Sometimes your care, your being courageous, is on the other side of somebody saying, You've got this. I'm championing you on, and I'm also holding you accountable. I'm going to ask you about that, right? So you don't need more motivation. You need a process. Your next level of success is in a system and routines and rhythms to help you get to your next level. So I want to ask you right now, ask yourself, what is the thoughts that are running your life today? Do a thought audit. Think about what you think about, right? And replace it with truth. Replace it with who God says that you already are. And then I want you to think about how do you want to feel? Listen, you architect this life, this beautiful life. This is the only life you are given. You are, you're the architect of it. And so go and decide how do you want to show up today? Again, back to that truth loop. How do I want to show up? I often look, I'm like, what's needed of me in this moment? I want to be joyful. I want to be peaceful. I want to be present. I want to be radiant. I want to be disciplined. I want to be consistent. I want to be energized. I want to be brave. I want to be courageous. Whatever's needed for that result. And so we get to pick how do we want to show up and shift ourselves? The more we can learn to really monitor and think about our thoughts and choose the emotions that we want so we can have that desired result. I promise you, you will go further faster. So let me just close this up. It's that truth loop. Listen, double down on that truth loop. I would love to in this moment invite you in to, if you're listening to this and you're like, you know what, I want more of that. I want to learn more about the science of high performance. I want to learn more about how to get and implement the uh tools that you're talking about. If you're listening to this and thinking this is exactly what I need, what you need, then I want to help, I want to share with you an opportunity to join me in the accelerate her program. Okay. This is where you'll implement daily the truth loop. This is where you'll get coaching from me every single day sent to your cell, to your phone. We all get to listen to a private audio podcast just to you, faith activated podcast, to get you going. This is where you'll build consistency and momentum. This is where you'll be with like-minded believers, women that are on the same trek with you and they're doing the same thing and they're doing the thing. Let me tell you something. That is so motivating right there alone. So this is where you'll get the processes and weekly coaching and accountability from me to help you move forward. This program is phenomenal.
