Amy sits down with her friend Tiffany, a certified stress management consultant and creator of the docuseries Calm the Chaos TV, to talk about what it looks like to move from overwhelmed to clear. Tiffany shares how the series follows real people through divorce, cancer, job loss, and more, and connects them with the local wellness resources that help. Along the way, you’ll hear about some surprising tools you may not have considered. Amy and Tiffany also take on the question many of us quietly wrestle with: how do you afford wellness when everything feels expensive? The answers are creative, practical, and in some cases free, and they include a very good soup. Amy also makes a case for speaking up with your practitioners, because asking for what you need is a skill, and it might be the most important one. If you’ve ever put your own care at the bottom of the to-do list or felt like you had to carry it all alone, this one’s for you.

If you’ve been putting your own care at the bottom of the list, book a free consultation with Amy and explore what support could look like for you, at a price point that works.

Tiffany Cripps has a lot going on: a local TV segment, a docuseries, a wellness brand, and a full-time career in clinical research. Amy sits down with her to find out how she got here. Tiffany shares the stress-filled season that made her realize that if she was struggling with balance, plenty of other people were too. Then the conversation turns to the part of self-care most of us skip: noticing what’s happening inside you in the first place. You’ll hear why permission is the real first step, why awareness comes even before that, and what it looks like to build structures that support you on the days you least feel like using them. Amy also offers a gentle reminder that you can get to peace and connection without paying the price of rock bottom. If you’re running on empty and calling it productivity, start here.

If this episode made you realize you’ve been running on empty, schedule a free consultation with Amy at Healthy Life Health and Wellness Coaching and talk through where you are and where you’d like to be.

If you want to understand what the TIDES program really does for women, hear it from someone who lived it. Gabrielle Young is now the recovery care manager at TIDES — and she's also a graduate of the program. In this conversation with Amy, Gabrielle shares her story with honesty and grace: what it looked like to arrive at TIDES, what shifted while she was there, and how she ended up on the other side of the desk, helping other women do the same. Amy and Gabrielle also dig into something that doesn't get talked about enough — how much support you need when you're in the tender, wobbly stage of new healthy behaviors, those baby deer legs moments when the old patterns are loud and the new ones are still finding their footing. Vulnerable, real, and quietly powerful.

Amy closes out Transitions September with a personal story that is equal parts hilarious and deeply relatable. It starts with a Tuesday pickleball meltdown and ends with a pretty profound realization about patterns she didn't know she was still carrying. If you've ever white-knuckled your way through something, gotten increasingly frustrated, and somehow not connected the dots that maybe — just maybe — you need to do something differently, you're in good company. Amy unpacks what it actually looks and feels like when you're in the middle of a transition you didn't sign up for, what becomes available once you recognize it for what it is, and why slow growth might just be the most radical choice you can make. A warm, funny, self-aware closer to a month well spent.

September on Healthy AF is all about transitions — because Amy has come to realize that transitions are basically her entire job. In this episode, she makes the case that all of life is one long move from here to there, whether here is a sedentary lifestyle, an empty nest, a worn-out dining room table from the 1800s, or just a version of yourself you've quietly outgrown. Amy gets into what separates the people who come out of transitions richer for it versus the ones who just white-knuckle their way through — and what gets lost when we default to grinding and forcing our way forward. Warm, relatable, and full of the kind of quiet wisdom that tends to stick with you long after the episode ends.

A friend asked Amy a loaded question the other day — one that came with a tone that said I am barely holding it together over here: how do working people actually create balance? Amy's honest answer? You're probably not going to love it. This episode digs into the mindset that keeps so many high-achieving, hard-working people perpetually behind the eight ball — the reflexive, reactive, drop-everything-right-now way of operating that quietly steals your power and your peace. Amy shares a personal experiment with time that shifted everything for her, and offers a surprisingly simple reframe for anyone who's ever felt like their schedule belongs to everyone but them. Practical, honest, and a little bit uncomfortable in the best possible way.
