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.

    Mastering Your Habits: A Behaviour Expert’s Guide for Female Founders with Lou Collins

    Have you ever felt like you’re constantly fighting against yourself? You start the week with all the motivation in the world, only to find yourself stuck in the same old patterns by Wednesday. I’ve been there, and I know so many of you have too. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Lou, a behaviour change and habit expert who spent 15 years working in the world of addiction recovery. Now, she’s taking all that deep human knowledge and helping women like us break the habits that keep us playing small. We dive into the actual science of why our brains try to keep us "safe" by keeping us stuck, and Lou shares the exact steps to put your success on autopilot so you can stop draining your battery on the small stuff. We cover:The "Safety" Trap: Why your brain actually fights you when you try to change (and how to win that battle). Autopilot for Success: How Lou and I use habit-stacking to reduce the "mental load" of running a business and a home. Motivation is a Myth: Why you can’t rely on "feeling like it" and what to use instead. My "Black Cloud" Story: I share my own journey of moving away from a habit of deep negativity and how I finally rewrote my internal script. The Compound Effect of Micro-Actions: Why the tiny things you do today are actually the biggest moves you can make for your future. Lou is a behaviour change and habits expert and has spent 15 years working in behaviour change, including the substance use field. She brings that expertise directly into her work with women in business after recognising a pattern she kept seeing: smart, capable women doing all the right things and still not moving forward. The block was never the strategy. It was always the behaviour underneath it. Her work cuts through the noise and gets to what’s actually going on.

    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.
