41: Sheri Salata: You Inner Critic Vs. Inner Coach + Recognizing Your "Beautiful No's"

Bouncing Forward with Amy Purdy - A podcast by Amy Purdy

Categories:

This episode is a little different than usual! Instead of hearing me interview other thought-leaders, you will hear me get interviewed by the amazing Sherri Salata. Together we chat about “Beautiful No’s”. This is when life suddenly takes us in a different direction and leads us to our destiny. I believe losing both of my legs – as hard as it was – brought me to exactly where I wanted and needed to be…just in a completely different way than I ever could have imagined. We also about about managing our inner voice. When it comes to our inner critic, we all have a coach and a critic and I explain how I shift my mindset to give my inner coach more control than my inner critic. Lastly, we chat about something fun many of you have probably never heard me talk about: I was casted as a lead actress in a huge Hollywood movie! Sheri is not only a great friend of mine but she was the executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Co-President of the Oprah Winfrey Network and Harpo production, and the amazing author of Beautiful No. What we discuss: 02:55: Amy’s mission in life 04:44: Did Amy make the right decision to start a podcast? 05:27: Amy’s power word of the year: Connection 07:07: How teaching what Amy knows is different from living and experiencing it 09:18: Amy’s first “Beautiful No” 16:15: Amy’s second “Beautiful No” 20:33: What Amy wants others to see in themselves 21:57: What is the inside chatter? 23:03: Recognizing the difference between what our inner critic is saying and what we feel 26: 42: The biggest realization Amy had from her podcast 28:46: How we’re all connected together
