  • The Power of the Pause, Part One: Getting Out of the Corner

    The Power of the Pause, Part One: Getting Out of the Corner
    Aug 3 2026
    You said yes when you meant no. You're grinding through something you dread. You're backed into a corner and scratching your way out — and none of it is getting you where you actually want to go. In this first of two August episodes, Amy introduces one of the most underrated tools in her coaching practice: the pause button. Through a real client story that will feel uncomfortably familiar, Amy makes the case that the pause isn't weakness, isn't procrastination, and isn't avoiding the hard thing. It's where your power actually lives. Short, punchy, and perfectly timed for the back-to-school chaos heading your way.

  • Coming Home to Yourself: The Science and Soul of 9D Breathwork

    Coming Home to Yourself: The Science and Soul of 9D Breathwork
    Jul 20 2026
    In part one of this final breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle go deep — into the body, into the emotions, and into the kind of healing that doesn't have a name until you've experienced it. Michelle shares what happens when breath reaches the places that talk therapy can't, and Amy brings some personal stories that will have you nodding along and maybe reaching for a tissue. There's science here, there's soul here, and there's a quote near the end that might just stop you in your tracks.

  • Breathwork, Heartbreak, and Healing: The Personal Path with Michelle Gallagher

    Breathwork, Heartbreak, and Healing: The Personal Path with Michelle Gallagher
    Jul 13 2026
    In part two of this breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle get personal. Michelle shares how her own seasons of loss and life upheaval led her deeper into breathwork — and how what she found there became something she couldn't keep to herself. Amy opens up about her own journey through divorce and relationship endings, and how lived experience becomes the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. The conversation moves into the world of holotropic and facilitated breathwork — what it looks and feels like in a room full of strangers, what happens when a sleepy muscle wakes back up during a breathwork session, and why breath bypasses the limits of language to reach places talk therapy sometimes can't. Rich, real, and deeply relatable.

  • Your Breath Is Talking — Are You Listening? with Michelle Gallagher

    Your Breath Is Talking — Are You Listening? with Michelle Gallagher
    Jul 6 2026
    Health coach Amy Chang sits down with her friend and breathwork facilitator Michelle Gallagher for a conversation that will make you look at every inhale and exhale differently. Michelle shares how her background in fitness and personal training led her to discover that the way people breathe — or don't — was showing up in their pain, their performance, and their disconnection from their own bodies. From frozen pelvic floors to athletes who couldn't engage their muscles no matter how hard they trained, Michelle explains why breath is the missing piece most people never think to address. If you've ever pushed through discomfort rather than listened to it, this one is going to hit home.

  • You Can't Outwork Life: On Grief, Growth, and Letting Go of Control

    You Can't Outwork Life: On Grief, Growth, and Letting Go of Control
    Jun 29 2026
    A bonus fifth Monday in June brings an unexpectedly raw and beautiful episode. Health coach Amy Chang set out to wrap up a month of fun and play, but life had other plans. After the sudden loss of her beloved German Shepherd Ginny, Amy shares a deeply personal reflection on something many high-achieving, growth-oriented people know all too well: the quiet, exhausting belief that if we just prepare enough, learn enough, and do enough, we can protect ourselves from pain. Spoiler — we can't. Amy explores the fine line between healthy growth and using self-improvement as armor against the unpredictability of life, and introduces the upcoming Healthy Life book club reading No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler — a book that speaks directly to this tension. If you've ever over-researched, over-planned, or over-optimized your way through something scary, this one will hit home. Grab a tissue and give yourself some grace.

  • Walking Into Santiago: On Rest, Release, and Coming Home to Yourself

    Walking Into Santiago: On Rest, Release, and Coming Home to Yourself
    Jun 22 2026
    This is the one where Amy runs. In a giant blue poncho. Through a forest. In the rain. With absolute unbridled joy. And it is everything. In this final June episode, Amy and Karla wrap up their month on the Camino with the parts that are hardest to put into words — walking into the cathedral at Santiago, receiving communion with zero question of worthiness, laying collected objects down in the square and finally letting go, and then trying to come home and re-enter a life that somehow feels both familiar and completely different. They also get honest about the hardest part nobody warns you about: re-entry. The quiet grief of leaving a vulnerable, intentional, fully-present community and going back to litter boxes and unpaid bills. If you have ever come back from a retreat, a trip, a program, or any deeply transformative experience and thought, how do I keep this — this episode is your answer. And the closing reminder from Karla is one you will want to write down: you don't have to go to the Camino to go on a pilgrimage. You can start right outside your front door. Ready to wake up?

  • Storm, Form, Reform: What a Pilgrimage Teaches You About Groups — and Yourself

    Storm, Form, Reform: What a Pilgrimage Teaches You About Groups — and Yourself
    Jun 15 2026
    Whether it's your family, your team at work, your friend group, or fourteen pilgrims walking the coast of Portugal — every group goes through the same stages: form, norm, storm, reform, and break apart. This week Amy and Karla get specific about what that looked like on the Camino, and more importantly, what it revealed about each of them. Amy discovers she is almost always either at the front or the back of the pack — and never in the middle. Karla learns something powerful about leadership, louder voices, and the cost of avoiding conflict in the moment. And somewhere between a swamp detour, instant Nescafé, and the fastest pilgrim in the group, there is a genuinely useful framework for understanding why groups are hard, why they are worth it, and what you can learn about yourself when you are asked to move at someone else's pace. If you have ever struggled with being part of a group, leading one, or just surviving one — this episode is your people.
