My guest on the podcast today is Dr Amy Silver, a psychologist, speaker, author and media commentator on the management of our emotions for high performance. We’re discussing the role fear plays in our lives and how you can change your relationship with fear to stop playing a small game. 

Amy’s newest best selling book ‘The Loudest Guest: How to control and change your relationship with fear’ provides six essential steps to calm your fear so you can stay in control and live your best life. 

Amy has spent 3 decades as a psychologist developing content on how fear restricts us and safety expands us. She has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Masters in Forensic Psychiatry, Masters in Performance, Bachelor with Honours in Psychology and further therapeutic training in cognitive therapies such as Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Compassion Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. 

In this episode, we talk about:
What led Amy to specialising in fear and its impact on people. 
How fear limits us and prevents us from taking action. 
How to negotiate with fear and choose to live. 
Moving through courage despite or alongside the fear. 
Tips to reframe, move through and make fear work for us. 
Amy makes it count by making her relationship with fear deliberate. 

I’m so grateful to have Amy on the show today to share her expertise and I know you’ll feel motivated and confident to take control and create a new relationship with your fear.

Stop Playing a Small Game with Dr Amy Silver

Did you know that your mindset can be your superpower? Never have I experienced the truth of this more than when I was diagnosed with cancer. Facing an enemy within, I’ve had to fuel and protect my mindset with intention. I believe in the power of mindset so much that I dedicated an entire chapter to this in my book, You Always Have a Choice. 



Today, we’re exploring how you too can harness the power of your mindset to achieve the success that you’re after. 



Firstly, l take you through a short quiz to help you determine which of these two mindsets you have:


Fixed mindset
Growth mindset



While a fixed mindset may keep you stuck in your ways and adamant that your way is right, a growth mindset is one that is open to change, learning and embracing others’ perspectives. I talk about the importance of developing that growth mindset, so you can stand in resilience and succeed no matter what challenges may come your way. 



We’ll explore Ernest Hemingway’s iceberg model, which states that while people usually only see our 10% - being our results and outcomes - our real power lies in the 90% below the surface. This refers to our behaviours, decisions, attitudes and beliefs that shape who we are. 



So what is happening for you in the 90% below? Is there something you need to change in order to adopt a healthy mindset that will help you grow? I take you through some practical strategies to help you influence your mindset and in turn, your actions. 



The good news is, your mindset is malleable. And it needs to be if you are going to adapt to change or grow in life. So, join me today and get inspired to truly look within and create that solid foundation for the success and happiness you so desire.

Why Your Mindset is Your Superpower

There’s a tendency for so many leaders to constantly want more, do more and strive to be more. But what happens when we continue to forge ahead without ever slowing down? 



I know firsthand how operating like this can lead to burnout. So today, I’m talking about an incredibly important yet undervalued strategy that will get you the results you want: taking pause.



While it may seem counterintuitive to stop and breathe in the midst of all the busyness, it’s often the very thing we need to be able to keep going - and improving. I talk about the benefits of pressing the pause button, such as giving your brain a break from overthinking, enabling yourself to process the chaos and reducing overwhelm.  



By stepping back from the constant busyness in our work and personal lives, we create space for self-awareness and enhance our capacity for growth. I encourage you to develop a daily practice in setting aside time to breathe, reflect and reconnect with your centre.



A simple breathwork practice can work wonders to calm your nervous system, and I take you through a breathing technique you can implement in your routine to ground yourself when you’re in overwhelm. 



I also share with you 5 practical tips to effectively press the pause button:


Pick your quiet time
Set the length of time for your pause
Find your solitude
Remove distractions
Sit with the silence



Taking pause is not just a valuable strategy to enhance your performance and that of your team; it’s a mindset shift that will empower you to choose how you show up in the world, both as a leader and an individual. 



So join me today and learn the tools and techniques to help you become the most resilient and effective leader you can be.

An Undervalued Strategy That Will Get You Results

How do we work in a way that is sustainable and avoids burnout, while still being successful? This is a difficult question for women to answer, with a 2023 survey of Australian working women finding that 54% reported increased levels in stress. Another 30% experienced ongoing burnout and 16% left their jobs in 2022 citing lack of flexibility. 



Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Jo Wagstaff, internationally renowned leadership coach and speaker. She has worked with many premier Australian and global firms to support thousands of professionals to embrace the power of conscious, authentic leadership. Jo has recently written her book, Lead Like You, a roadmap for women to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. In this episode, we’re talking about just that. 



Jo takes us through her earlier years of working in the corporate world, where she seemingly had it all. However, a pivotal moment in her life (at a party hosted by James Packer, no less!), along with a season of loss and grief, caused her to step away. We hear about the following messy years, where she became a person and mother she wasn’t proud of, and how she made the conscious decision to change her life. 



We talk about the limiting beliefs formed in childhood that often drive us to overwork as adults. Jo talks about how writing her book helped her unpack how her experiences shaped her, and how she found self-acceptance on the journey. 



So many of us struggle to find true meaning in our lives. We’re overloaded by society’s expectations on how to be, work and raise children. Jo talks about the importance of self-reflection, boundary-setting and values alignment to combat this. She also believes it’s not just about leaning in; it's about knowing when to step back and breathe. 



There's no question that this world needs successful women. Those breaking glass ceilings, sitting at the top of the decision making tree and helping to develop the world that we want to live in. For Jo, it's about how to make them successful in a way that still feels meaningful.



Her motto? Know yourself, care for yourself and be yourself. What is really driving you? As Jo says: our greatest strengths, when overplayed, become our greatest weaknesses. So join us today as we uncover the secrets to combating burnout and finding our true, authentic purpose in life.
