    From Inner Critic to Inner Peace Through Faith with Lindsay Morgan Snyder

    Welcome back to another heartfelt episode of The Amberly Lago Show. This conversation is deeply honest, healing, and full of hope for anyone who has ever struggled with self-worth, people-pleasing, fear, or the harsh inner voice that says you're not enough. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Lindsay Morgan Snyder author, speaker, faith-led entrepreneur, and founder of Love Abba Father. Lindsay is deeply passionate about helping people experience God's love, reclaim their identity, and build lives rooted in wholeness instead of hustle and striving. Lindsay shares her journey of searching for love in all the wrong places, navigating codependency, toxic relationships, insecurity, and painful inner criticism before encountering God in a life-changing way. Through her relationship with Jesus, she began discovering what real love actually is,  not performance, not people-pleasing, and not striving for validation, but learning to receive love first. Together, we talk about the connection between self-worth, faith, boundaries, healing, and identity. Lindsay explains how so many of our destructive patterns begin with lies we unknowingly believe about ourselves and how awareness becomes the first step toward healing. We also dive into the importance of silence, spending intentional time with God, overcoming codependency, and learning how to discern the "mean voice" from the voice of love. Lindsay shares powerful wisdom about boundaries, self-love, and why receiving God's love changes everything. This conversation is honest, compassionate, and incredibly freeing. If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, fear, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from your worth, this episode will remind you that healing begins when you stop striving to earn love and start learning how to receive it.     We Discuss • Lindsay's journey from codependency and insecurity to healing and faith • Looking for love in unhealthy places and redefining what love truly is • The connection between self-worth, identity, and God's love • How negative self-talk and the "inner critic" develop • Why awareness is the first step toward healing • The difference between isolation and intimacy with God • Learning how to discern the voice of love from the "mean voice" • Boundaries, people-pleasing, and reclaiming your time and energy • Why self-love begins with receiving God's love first • Practical ways to create quiet moments and connect with God daily     Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Lindsay Morgan Snyder 03:15 Looking for love in all the wrong places 08:20 Discovering faith and redefining love 14:10 Codependency, toxic relationships, and healing 20:05 Understanding the "inner critic" and negative self-talk 26:40 How God speaks and learning discernment 33:15 Isolation vs. intimacy with God 39:45 Creating quiet moments and hearing God clearly 46:10 Self-love, boundaries, and people-pleasing 52:00 Learning to receive God's love first     To Connect With Lindsay Morgan Snyder Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lindsaymorgansnyder/ Website https://www.loveabbafather.com/     To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ Join the Unstoppable Life Mastermind 4 Day Beach Retreat https://truegritandgrace.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link  https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

This conversation is unlike anything we've done before because today, I'm joined by some of the incredible women from my Unstoppable Mastermind, women who have walked through unimaginable challenges, rebuilt themselves from the inside out, and are now using their voices, stories, and leadership to impact others in powerful ways. This episode was recorded live after the Unstoppable Success Summit, and let me tell you… the wisdom, vulnerability, courage, and authenticity these women shared was absolutely unforgettable.

These women openly share the lessons they've learned through grief, trauma, reinvention, recovery, entrepreneurship, motherhood, health struggles, and personal transformation. You'll hear practical wisdom about boundaries, mirror work, confidence-building, overcoming fear, leadership, authenticity, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who truly see and believe in you. More than anything, this episode is a reminder that your story matters and that healing, growth, and transformation are possible when you stop trying to do life alone.

    Stop Chasing Perfect, Start Choosing Joy with Tiffany Moon

    Welcome to another powerful and fun episode of The Amberly Lago Show! This conversation is such a beautiful blend of truth, humor, and real-life wisdom. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Tiffany Moon board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, speaker, bestselling author of Joy Prescriptions, and someone you may recognize from The Real Housewives of Dallas. But beyond all of her titles, Tiffany is someone who deeply understands what it feels like to chase achievement… and still feel like something is missing. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when you've checked all the boxes, built the career, the family, the life and yet you still find yourself asking, Why doesn't this feel like freedom? Tiffany opens up about her own journey growing up as a high-achieving immigrant, constantly striving for success, only to realize in her 30s that she had lost connection with what truly brings her joy. That realization led her on a powerful journey of self-discovery, one where she started asking deeper questions about identity, fulfillment, and what it really means to live a joyful life. We also dive into the importance of connection in a world that feels more "connected" than ever, yet more lonely than ever. Tiffany shares how humor has become one of her most powerful tools, not just for stress relief, but for building real, meaningful connections with others. This episode is filled with practical wisdom, honest truths, and empowering reminders that joy isn't something you achieve, it's something you choose, create, and cultivate. If you've been feeling burned out, stuck in perfectionism, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation will remind you that it's never too late to rediscover what truly lights you up.     We Discuss • Tiffany's journey from high-achieving perfectionist to living with more joy • Why success and fulfillment are not always the same thing • The pressure of constantly chasing goals and checking boxes • How burnout often comes from disconnection, not just overwork • The importance of asking yourself what truly brings you joy • Why humor is a powerful tool for connection and healing • The rise of loneliness despite living in a "connected" world • Breaking out of limiting beliefs and "I can't" thinking • The power of environment and surrounding yourself with the right people • Why taking small, consistent action leads to big transformation     Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Tiffany Moon 03:15 The journey behind writing Joy Prescriptions 08:40 Chasing achievement and feeling unfulfilled 14:10 Rediscovering joy and identity 20:05 The role of humor in connection and stress relief 26:30 Loneliness in a hyper-connected world 33:10 Taking action instead of making excuses 39:45 Shifting mindset from "I can't" to possibility 45:20 The power of environment and community 52:00 Letting go of perfection and embracing growth     To Connect With Dr. Tiffany Moon Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tiffanymoonmd/ Website https://www.leadhersummit.com/     To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

    When Achievement Doesn't Feel Like Freedom with Jessica Smarro

    Welcome to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! This is one of those conversations that will truly make you pause, reflect, and ask yourself some deeper questions about your life. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Jessica Smarro, licensed therapist, mindset coach, speaker, and author of the powerful book In Pursuit. Jessica's work is centered around helping high-achieving women break free from burnout, perfectionism, and the invisible pressures that keep them stuck, even when life looks "perfect" on paper. If you've ever felt like you've checked all the boxes, built the life you thought you wanted, and still felt like something is missing… this conversation is for you. Jessica shares her own journey of growing up in a challenging environment, working hard to create a completely different life, and achieving everything she once dreamed of, only to realize that success without alignment doesn't feel like freedom. We dive into what it really means to be "in pursuit", not just constantly chasing the next goal, but learning how to actually experience and receive the life you've worked so hard to build. This conversation explores burnout, identity, perfectionism, and the deeper truth that so many women struggle with,  the belief that something is wrong with them. Jessica breaks down how so many of us have been conditioned to live outwardly focused lives, constantly achieving, giving, and performing, without ever pausing to ask: What do I actually want? If you've been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you're constantly striving but never arriving, this episode will give you a new perspective on how to reconnect with yourself and create a life that truly feels aligned.     We Discuss • Jessica's journey from a challenging childhood to high achievement • Why success on paper doesn't always feel like fulfillment • Burnout and the hidden cost of constantly striving • The powerful question: "What do you actually want?" • Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves • How to reconnect with your body and inner wisdom • The role of journaling, silence, and awareness in healing • Perfectionism vs. excellence and why they are not the same • Invisible prisons like people-pleasing and approval-seeking • The truth about worthiness and why you don't need to earn it     Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Jessica Smarro 03:20 Growing up and always being "in pursuit" 08:40 Achieving success but still feeling unfulfilled 14:15 Burnout and the pressure of high achievement 20:05 Asking yourself what you truly want 26:40 Reconnecting with your body and inner voice 33:10 Simple practices to become more present 39:45 Breaking free from perfectionism 45:20 Invisible prisons and people-pleasing 52:00 Understanding worthiness and self-acceptance     To Connect With Jessica Smarro Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessicasmarro/ Website https://jessicasmarro.com/     To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylagomotivation/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

    From 1% Chance to a Second Life with Matthew Long

    Welcome to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! This is one of those conversations that will truly stay with you long after you hear it. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Matthew Long, firefighter, endurance athlete, and one of the most resilient people you will ever meet. His story is nothing short of extraordinary. Matt was in the best shape of his life, training for marathons and Ironman races, when everything changed in an instant. While riding his bike to work in New York City, he was run over by a 40,000-pound bus and given just a 1% chance to live. What happened next is a story of survival, strength, and the power of mindset. Matt shares what it was like to fight for his life through dozens of surgeries, months in a medically induced coma, and years of recovery. But what makes this conversation so powerful is not just what he went through, it's how he chose to move forward. We talk about pain, perseverance, and what it really means to live with adversity instead of trying to "overcome" it. Matt opens up about how mindset, movement, and purpose helped him rebuild his life, and how he continues to show up every single day despite ongoing physical challenges. This conversation is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring. If you've ever faced a setback, felt stuck, or questioned whether you have what it takes to keep going, this episode will remind you that you are stronger than you think.     We Discuss • Matt's life before the accident and training as an endurance athlete • The moment everything changed and being run over by a bus • Being given a 1% chance to live and surviving against all odds • The long road to recovery, including dozens of surgeries • Living with chronic pain and ongoing physical challenges • The power of mindset and shifting perspective during adversity • Why movement and routine are essential for healing • What it really means to live with adversity instead of "overcoming" it • The importance of purpose, discipline, and consistency • Practical ways to keep going when life feels overwhelming     Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Matthew Long 03:10 Life before the accident and endurance training 08:40 The accident and life-threatening injuries 14:20 Being given a 1% chance to live 20:05 Recovery, surgeries, and physical challenges 27:10 Mindset shift and choosing to keep going 33:45 Living with pain and daily adversity 40:10 The role of movement and discipline 46:30 Traveling, speaking, and maintaining routines 52:00 Lessons on resilience and perspective     To Connect With Matthew Long Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mattlongspeaker/ Website http://www.mattlongspeaker.com/     To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

In this powerful and emotional conversation, I sit down with the incredible Jessica Smith Moyer, wellness and leadership coach, speaker, and woman of deep faith who has walked through unimaginable loss and still chooses to lead with strength, compassion, and purpose. Jessica's story is one of resilience in its truest form. From navigating an eating disorder at a young age to facing the devastating diagnosis and loss of her infant son, she has experienced the kind of grief that changes you forever. And yet, through it all, she has found a way to turn her pain into purpose and her story into a source of hope for others. In this episode, we talk about grief, healing, burnout, and what it really means to lead yourself well in every area of your life, body, mind, and spirit. Jessica shares how she moved through seasons of survival, how she learned to ask for help, and how she created a framework that now helps other women rebuild their lives with intention and strength. We also dive into topics so many women struggle with but don't always talk about openly, including body image, identity, emotional health, and the pressure to "hold it all together." This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply inspiring.

    Why Work Will Always be Personal with Amy P. Kelly

    Welcome back to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! In this conversation, I sit down with the incredible Amy P. Kelly, USA Today bestselling author, leadership expert, and someone who has spent decades helping organizations and leaders navigate what truly matters,  people. This episode is all about a truth that so many of us feel but don't always say out loud: work is personal. We can try to separate business from emotions, performance from people, but the reality is, people don't leave their humanity at the door when they show up to work. And when leaders forget that, it doesn't just impact productivity… it impacts trust, connection, and culture. Amy shares her journey as a global HR executive and the moment that changed everything for her,  when she realized that the phrase "it's not personal, it's just business" couldn't be further from the truth. That realization became the foundation of her work helping leaders build cultures where people feel seen, valued, and supported. In this episode, we dive into leadership, burnout, boundaries, workplace culture, and what it really takes to create an environment where people don't just perform, they thrive. This conversation is honest, practical, and incredibly relevant whether you're leading a team, running a business, or simply trying to show up better in your own life.     We Discuss • Why "work is personal" and why that truth matters more than ever • The moment Amy decided to challenge the idea that business isn't personal • How leaders can better understand what truly matters to their people • The impact of boundaries and why leaders must model them • Burnout, well-being, and why wellness is not "soft" — it's strategic • Why money alone doesn't create loyalty or fulfillment • The role of meaningful recognition and how to do it right • How to create a true sense of belonging in the workplace • The importance of connection, communication, and consistency in leadership • Practical ways to build stronger, more human-centered teams     Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Amy P. Kelly 03:10 Why work is personal 08:40 The moment that changed Amy's perspective 14:25 Navigating boundaries in leadership 20:10 Burnout and workplace expectations 26:45 Why compensation alone doesn't keep people 33:30 Meaningful recognition and leadership impact 39:15 Creating belonging in the workplace 45:40 Building connection and team culture 52:10 Practical leadership strategies that actually work     To Connect With Amy P.

    Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Amberly Lago Show! In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Cheryl Wood, internationally renowned TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and CEO of Global Speakers University. Cheryl is truly a force, not just because of what she has achieved, but because of the journey she took to get there. From working as a legal secretary in corporate America to becoming a global speaker, seven-figure entrepreneur, and transformational leader, Cheryl's story is a testament to what's possible when you refuse to stay stuck in a life that no longer aligns with your purpose. In this episode, Cheryl takes us back to where it all began, growing up in poverty, navigating life without a college degree, and believing that a steady paycheck was the definition of success. But deep down, she knew she was meant for more. Through courage, faith, and a willingness to take imperfect action, she began building her path, starting with a simple t-shirt business that eventually led her to her first speaking opportunity. We talk about the real struggles behind success, the fear, the self-doubt, the comparison, and the "head trash" that holds so many women back from stepping into their calling. Cheryl shares how she learned to stop waiting, start showing up, and trust that she was already enough. This conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply relatable. If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or afraid to take the next step toward your dreams, this episode will remind you that your voice matters, your story matters, and your next level is possible.   We Discuss: • Cheryl's journey from corporate America to global speaker • Growing up in poverty and breaking generational limitations • The moment that pushed her to stop surviving and start living • How taking imperfect action led to her first speaking opportunity • The power of showing up and building meaningful connections • Fear, limiting beliefs, and comparison as the biggest blockers for women • Why failure is a necessary part of success • How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt • The importance of alignment with your purpose and calling • Practical ways to push through fear and take action     Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Cheryl Wood 03:20 From corporate job to dreaming bigger 08:45 Growing up in poverty and breaking the cycle 14:10 The moment everything shifted 20:05 Starting her first business with no experience 26:30 Her first speaking opportunity and breakthrough 32:15 The power of showing up and connection 38:40 Why fear, comparison, and limiting beliefs hold women back 45:20 Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-doubt 52:10 How to push through fear and take action     To Connect With Dr. Cheryl Wood Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cherylempowers/ Website https://www.cherylempowers.com/     To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ Become a best selling author today https://selfpublishing.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!
