Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Amy Armstrong. Amy, a conflict resolution specialist, shares her incredible journey of overcoming fear, people-pleasing, and codependency. In today’s episode, we discuss: Setting boundaries can be gentle yet firm. Knowing this encourages you to establish clear limits without feeling you must be harsh or confrontational, which can improve your relationships and overall well-being. Amy learned the importance of telling the truth and developing a personal identity at 45. This revelation reassures you that it’s never too late to discover and embrace your true self, promoting lifelong personal growth. Fear often highlights areas for personal growth. By reframing fear as a tool for self-improvement, you can embark on personal growth rather than avoidance, empowering you to face challenges head-on. Amy emphasizes authenticity as the core of credibility and personal integrity. This encourages you to be true to yourself, fostering deeper and more genuine connections with others. Inviting others to share their perspectives promotes openness. This approach helps you build more inclusive and understanding relationships, enhancing communication and conflict resolution skills. Overcoming codependency and learning not to control life is crucial. This lesson encourages you to focus on self-awareness and authenticity, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Amy's "boundary blueprint" (VOICE) guides people in setting personal boundaries. This practical framework helps you establish effective boundaries, encouraging healthier interactions and greater self-respect. Amy has a new book "Reclaim Your Power to Resolve Conflict" coming next year. Anticipating this resource prepares you to enhance your boundary-setting skills and improve your ability to resolve conflicts.
