In this profoundly moving episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with Amy Kemp—CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc., Certified Habit Finder Coach, and author of the book I See You—for an eye-opening and heart-centered conversation about the silent burdens so many women carry behind their accomplishments.

From the outside, Amy’s story may look like a classic tale of success: a thriving coaching company, a best-selling book, hundreds of clients transformed. But behind it all is a powerful journey marked by an early-career betrayal that unexpectedly launched her onto a path of self-discovery, resilience, and purpose.

Amy opens up about a painful moment as a young teacher when her passion and innovation were met with quiet retaliation by a principal who misused his authority. Though devastating at the time, that moment became her first real leap—pushing her to start a small side business that eventually grew into a leadership enterprise impacting thousands of lives. It’s a raw, inspiring example of how the things that don’t work out for us can actually be the turning point toward our highest potential.

Throughout the episode, Amy and Lisa explore the invisible habits of thought that often keep women stuck—habits we don't even realize we're repeating. Amy introduces the Habit Finder, a powerful assessment tool that shines light on the subconscious patterns influencing how we think, connect, and lead. She explains how high-risk thought habits—like people-pleasing, over-identifying with our beliefs, or attaching worth to productivity—can sabotage even the most capable, driven women.

The conversation turns to the emotional, spiritual, and even physical cost of living in overdrive. Amy shares the harrowing story of a client who unknowingly suffered a silent heart attack from years of burnout—a stark reminder of what we sacrifice when we ignore our bodies and override our intuition.

But this episode isn’t just about the warning signs—it’s also filled with light, hope, and actionable insight. Amy speaks candidly about how true transformation happens not from working harder, but from surrendering more. She invites women to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their natural genius—the thing that feels easy, joyful, and expansive, yet astonishes everyone else.

Amy also dives into the inspiration behind her book, I See You, which she describes as a love letter to the woman who is always visible to others, but rarely feels truly seen. She fought to keep the title against publisher pressure to make it about herself—because this book isn’t about her. It’s about you, the woman quietly carrying the weight of leadership, caregiving, and ambition, all while hiding your own exhaustion.

Lisa and Amy explore everything from the scarcity mindset around money to the importance of boundaries—not just with people, but with your ideas, your goals, and your need to be right. They reflect on how perfectionism can become the greatest enemy of structure, and why choosing a better story—one rooted in compassion and possibility—is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make.

“If you’re going to tell yourself a story,” Amy says, “you might as well tell yourself a good one.”

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who feels like she’s doing all the things—but still wondering when it will feel like enough. It’s a conversation about being seen, yes—but more importantly, about seeing yourself again.

Tune in, take a breath, and remember: the leap you're afraid to take might be the one that leads you home.
