    From Perfection to Peace: Lessons from a Recovering Type A Personality. Vicki Goodman & Samia Bano

    Are you a driven professional? A #perfectionist or #controlfreak? Struggling to balance your #lifeinthefastlane as you juggle countless responsibilities?  Or perhaps you're a type B hard-pressed to decipher the motivations of a type A in your life... Listen now to this interview with Vicki Goodman, #Author of "Speed Bumps and Other Impediments to Life in the Fast Lane" to learn about Vicki's transition from the constant drive of a Type A life to finding #innercalm and #balance -- and you can too! Through #humor, heartfelt insights, and wisdom, Vicki shares how learning to slow down, accept imperfection, and #trusttheprocess leads to more #authentichappiness and #selfawareness.Vicki reminds us that #thriving isn’t about doing more — it’s about being more at #peace with #whoyouare. Connect with Vicki and get her book now at:https://vickiparisgoodman.com/  NOTE: Vicki steers clear of a clinical analysis of the type A, instead focusing on her personal triumphs and failures. She reveals how her relentless #pursuitofexcellence often became an obstacle rather than a #pathtosuccess. Her vivid storytelling paints a picture of the internal and external #pitfalls encountered by those who live life in overdrive. Speed Bumps is not just a #memoir, but a guide to understanding the importance of self-awareness and #humility. The book’s narrative encourages readers to reflect on their own experience, and offers insights illuminating the path to greater balance and fulfillment. #SelfGrowth #LifeLessons #LettingGo #MindsetShift #EmbraceImperfection #InnerPeace #FamilyHealing #SelfAwareness #SelfDiscovery #TransformationJourney #EmpowerYourMind #OvercomingFear #PositiveChange #RiseAbovePain #HeartCenteredLiving #AwakenYourSoul #GrowthMindset #LifePurpose #EmotionalFreedom #ThrivingBeyondTrauma #liveyourbestlife   _____________________________________ ABOUT SAMIA: Samia Bano is the #HappinessExpert, author, speaker, podcaster & coach for coaches and healers.

    Faith Over Fear: The key to moving through fear with ease. With Kijuan Amey & Samia Bano

    Want to #breakfree of your #chainsoffear? Listen now to this interview with Kijuan Amey, #USAirForce #Veteran, #Author and #ResilienceCoach to explore the different types of fear we face—emotional, spiritual, and imagined—and discover how surrender, focus, and faith help you move through fear with ease. Instead of fighting fear, this episode teaches you how to walk with it—and transform it into clarity, courage, and inner peace. About Kijuan: Kijuan Amey, the visionary behind Amey Motivation, hails from Durham, NC, where his journey of resilience and success began. After graduating from Southern High School, he dedicated a decade of his life to the #USAirForce, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant as an In-flight Refueling Specialist. Medically retired, he transitioned into academia, earning a degree and founding Amey Motivation LLC. Formerly served as the vice president for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association, Kijuan is also a mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program. Beyond his remarkable military career, Kijuan is a man of many talents, boasting over 25 years of drumming expertise, on-stage acting, and now, an upcoming bestseller, “Don’t Focus on Why Me.” However, life took an unexpected turn on May 5th, 2017, when a motorcycle accident claimed his eyesight. Yet, as Kijuan profoundly states, “I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision.” Now armed with an inspiring story of #overcomingadversity, Kijuan has become a motivational force, empowering others to reach their #highestpotential. Whether addressing a crowd of 1,500 or engaging in one-on-one sessions, Kijuan is well-equipped for any speaking engagement. He’s not just a speaker; he’s a catalyst for transformation, ready for the task ahead!  Contact him at (919) 641-8150 | kijuan@ameymotivation.com |AmeyMotivation.com #WhyNotMe #FromTraumaToTriumph #ResilienceJourney #LiveUnfiltered #FaithOverFear #SpeakYourTruth #TruthHeals #BreakTheSilence #MentalHealthAwareness #VulnerabilityIsStrength #KeepSeekingHelp #SurvivorSupport #TruthTelling #DontGiveUp #SpiritualHealing #DivinePurpose #PurposeThroughService #ServeWithLove #FaithAndPurpose #LiveToServe #liveyourbestlife   _____________________________________ ABOUT SAMIA: Samia Bano is the #HappinessExpert, author, speaker, podcaster & coach for coaches and healers.
