Beyond Enough with Amy Irons

Amy Irons

I started this podcast to tell the stories of female founders choosing more for themselves, their families and their lives as they go beyond the story they were given and forge a new path, one where they follow their dreams and passions. I want to shed light on the highs and lows of life and business, and the authentic stories that shape us and our journey. My mission is to help women step into their vulnerability and authenticity and show you whats possible when you tune out of the noise and into yourself - and this podcast is where that starts for you.

    From People Pleaser to Powerhouse: Slaying the Good Girl Identity with Nikki St Paul

    In this episode, I’m joined by Nikki St. Paul - business coach, mentor, and GOOD GIRL SLAYER - and we go deep into: 🔥 The hidden patterns keeping you stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism & overworking🔥 Why working harder isn’t the answer (and what actually moves the needle)🔥 The 5 “faces” of the good girl - and how they show up in your business🔥 How to stop seeking permission and start leading yourself🔥 Why visibility feels so hard (and how to finally break through it)🔥 The power of messy action, bold decisions & doing it for the plot This is your reminder that you don’t need to be more polished, more perfect or more “ready”. You need to be more you. The bold version.The messy version.The one who goes first. Because the moment you stop trying to be “good”…is the moment everything starts to shift. Nikki St. Paul helps high-achieving women stop running their businesses from “Good Girl” conditioning and become the most convicted version of themselves. Her clients are ambitious, capable entrepreneurs who are used to succeeding. They’ve always done well. But the very personality traits that once drove that success, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and carrying the weight of the world, are now the same patterns holding them back from truly thriving in business. Nikki helps them identify and challenge the subconscious beliefs driving these behaviours, replacing them with deep, embodied conviction. The result? Women who sell unapologetically, lead powerfully, set stronger standards, and build businesses that reflect who they truly are, not who they were conditioned to be.
