What happens when the life you built to earn approval stops feeling like yours?

In this solo episode, Amy shares the real story behind bringing her Kármán Line™ framework to the TEDx Cambridge stage — a year and a half of rejection and the six-week sprint that followed. She talks about what it actually takes to move a big idea from private conviction to a stage in front of strangers: the help she had to ask for, the outfit that sat in her closet for a year before she ever wore it, and why she believes telling people what you want is just as important as doing the work.

Her talk, "What to Do When Your Life Stops Fitting," has already been viewed 25,000 times in its first eight days. Watch it — linked below — then come back and hear how it happened.

Topics covered: how to get a TEDx talk, behind the scenes of a TEDx talk, public speaking tips, keynote speaker origin story, the Kármán Line™, identity and business transformation.
