LifePilot: Be the CEO of your life, not just your business!

You're not broken. You're not lazy. You're not behind.Your brain might just be firing in the wrong places, and no amount of hustle can fix that.That's exactly what Dr. Amy Albright helped me understand in this truly profound conversation.Dr. Amy’s journey began as a neuroscience student and self-described atheist, until a profound spiritual awakening during an acupuncture session changed everything. Since then, she’s spent over three decades integrating cutting-edge brain science, quantum biology, energetic healing, and intuitive wisdom to help visionaries, CEOs, and changemakers unlock their fullest potential.Together, we explore what it truly means to combine the mystical with the measurable, not in a “woo” way, but in a grounded, deeply scientific approach to human transformation. We talk about real-time brain mapping, nervous system regulation, consciousness expansion, and why most personal growth models are built on the false belief that we’re broken.We also dive into how motherhood rewires the brain, why intuition is a trainable skill, and how shifting your internal state — not just your strategy — changes everything from leadership to creativity to ease in life and business.If you've been working harder but getting diminishing returns, if you feel stuck in old patterns despite knowing better, or if you're ready to stop operating from outdated software, this episode will shift something in you.What You'll Learn:Why the model of "I'm broken and need to fix myself" is outdated software that keeps you stuckThe neurological shift that happens in a mother's brain (amygdala changes) and why it can make "going all in" feel impossibleHow to stop popping your energy out of yourself and into your children, partner, or business, and why centering back into yourself makes everyone feel saferThe difference between aspirational spirituality ("bliss bunnies") and grounded transformation that creates measurable changeWhy zooming out to the meta-frame (instead of staying zoomed in on immediate problems) is a strategy, not a bypass

I need to be honest with you: I didn't enjoy my HYROX race last week.  Not one moment felt like I was “crushing it.” I was slower than I wanted to be, overheated, disappointed, and questioning myself more than once.And you know what? That makes it the most valuable thing I've done so far this year.This is the story of how a tough race taught me more about resilience, self-efficacy, and mental strength than any perfect performance ever could. It's about what happened when I debriefed with my AI coach ChatGPT, how the science of stress inoculation actually works,  and why doing hard physical things — especially when they don’t go to plan — can radically change how you show up in every other area of your life.If you’ve ever felt disappointed after something you worked hard for… or wondered whether pushing yourself physically is “worth it”, this episode will shift how you see challenge, confidence, and growth.What You'll Learn:Why the challenges that stretch you don’t always feel good in the moment and why they matter more because of itWhat HYROX actually is and why it's become a $140 million global phenomenon that makes "average people feel like athletes"Why this was the first event I've paid for that I genuinely didn't enjoy (and why that made it so valuable)How self-efficacy, stress inoculation, and generalized confidence actually work (backed by research from Albert Bandura)Why my brain learned more from struggle than it would have from a perfect race

Let’s be real: are you creating content everywhere but connecting with no one?Posting daily, showing up on multiple platforms, but your audience isn't growing. Your email list is stagnant. And the profit you thought would follow? It's not there.Here's the hard truth: you might be building your entire business on borrowed land.That's exactly what happened to today's guest, Jenny Melrose. She had 660,000 followers on Google+. Then one day, the platform shut down and she lost every single one of them. That painful lesson completely transformed how she builds audiences—and it's why she's here to share what actually works.Jenny is a former reading specialist turned marketing strategist, author of Influencer Entrepreneurs, and host of the Influencer Entrepreneurs podcast. She's been building online businesses since 2009 and has weathered every major shift in the digital landscape.In this conversation, we dive into her PACK framework for standing out authentically, why your personal brand is your greatest defense against AI, how to create one piece of content and repurpose it into multiple formats, and why your email list is the only audience you truly own.If you've ever felt invisible online despite showing up everywhere, or wondered how to use AI without sounding generic, this episode will change how you build your business.Get ready for systems, strategy, and the wake-up call you need about where you're investing your energy online.What You'll Learn:The PACK framework: Positioning, Authenticity, Confidence, and Kindness (and why each matters more than ever)How to find your unique positioning by looking at your real life experiences and the problems people already come to you forWhy complete flexibility in your business will actually drive you insane (and what to do instead)The content creation system that starts with keyword research and ends with SEO-optimized blog posts, podcast episodes, and YouTube videosHow to use AI effectively: as a brainstorming assistant, outline creator, and editor, without losing your unique voiceHow to stop comparing yourself to that 35-year-old making millions (and be kind to yourself instead)

I almost deleted the email that changed my year.There it was, sitting in my inbox while Josh and I were testing out our new standing desks in our Bali villa, a speaking invitation to Saudi Arabia that looked way too good to be true. And honestly? I thought it was a scam. But this is the story of how that "sketchy" email turned into me standing on stage as the only female keynote speaker at one of Saudi Arabia's largest entrepreneurship events, flying business class, staying at the Ritz Carlton, and getting paid to share a message I deeply believe in.More than that, it's about what happens when you plant seeds without knowing where they'll grow, when you show up with intention even when no one's watching, and when you stay open to possibilities that sound impossible. Because the real twist? The reason I got invited traced back to someone I'd spoken to six years ago and a manifestation practice I started at the beginning of 2025.If you’ve ever wondered how big opportunities actually happen, or felt called to think bigger about what’s possible for you in your work and life, this one’s for you.What You'll Learn:How a random email in my inbox turned into a dream speaking opportunity (and why I thought it was a scam)What Saudi Arabia is really like in 2025, the massive transformation happening, what surprised me most, and what I got totally wrongWhy being the only female keynote speaker felt like both a privilege and a responsibilityHow someone I spoke to six years ago became the reason I got invited and what that teaches us about showing up authenticallyWhat it's really like to speak on an international stage Why this trip reminded me that the world is more open, more curious, and more interconnected than we think

I'm about to tell you something that might sting a little: in about three weeks, you're probably gonna be doing the exact same thing you did all last year.I know. You've got your goals. You've got your intentions. You're ready for a new year, new start, new you.But unless you've got a methodology that actually works, that niggly feeling you have right now? It's probably right.Here's what I realized after years of hitting some goals but always ending up back at baseline: I wasn't changing who I was in order to get what I wanted. And without that, nothing was ever gonna fundamentally shift.That’s why, I'm sharing the Annual Anchors Methodology, the framework that completely transformed how I approach my year. Instead of chasing 47 different goals, I focus on three foundational anchors that ground me in what actually matters. And it really works!.After listening, you'll understand why being comes before doing, how to choose your three most important priorities for the year, and you'll have a concrete roadmap to make this your most intentional year yet (without burning out or giving up by February).What You'll Learn:Why most goal-setting fails (hint: you're skipping the most critical step)The be → do → have framework that actually gets resultsHow I chose my three Annual Anchors for 2026 (and why my business isn't one of them)The exact structure: one anchor + one "so that" statement + three committed actions + a 90-day habit trackerWhy breaking up with my phone is already changing everything in just two weeksThe difference between reacting and responding, especially in your closest relationshipsWhat it means to prioritize intuition over hustle this year

Freedom doesn’t come from having endless flexibility.It comes from knowing what matters and protecting it with intention.In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth Grace Saunders, one of the world’s leading time management experts and the founder of Real Life E®, for a grounded, honest conversation about time, boundaries, and self-worth.Elizabeth and I have known each other for over a decade — long before either of us were married or parents — and throughout the years, I’ve watched her quietly and consistently redefine what time management actually means. Not hustle. Not optimisation. But peace, presence, and intentional living.In this conversation, Elizabeth shares how she became a time management coach by first fixing her own unhealthy relationship with work, why most entrepreneurs struggle more once they leave corporate life, and how planning ahead is the thing that actually creates flexibility, not restriction.We also dive into motherhood, shifting capacity, lowering expectations without lowering standards, and navigating the rise of AI without losing your voice, creativity, or sense of worth.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by freedom, guilty when you rest, or stuck reacting instead of leading your life, this episode will bring clarity, calm, and perspective.What You'll Learn:Why the flexibility of entrepreneurship often drives us insane (and what to do about it)The "infinity pool" model that will revolutionize how you think about your timeThe top three time management challenges almost everyone faces but thinks are unique to themHow to translate your values into concrete actions on your calendar (not just vague intentions)What having two young children has taught a time management expert about lowering expectations and radical prioritizationThe surprisingly emotional reality of running a business in the age of AI (and why your human value matters more than ever)
