Episode #108 – Amy Lenius: Empowerment, Awareness & Next Level Living

In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Lenius of Next Level University — a coach and mentor dedicated to helping people step into greater confidence, clarity, and purpose. We dive into what empowerment really looks like, why self-awareness is foundational to growth, and how working with the right partners can accelerate transformation.

Amy shares insights from her work guiding clients through group coaching, the mindset shifts that open up real possibility, and the leadership practices that help people live—and lead—at their very best.

In this episode we discuss:

· Empowering others: what it truly means to support growth, not just motivate

· Working with partners & teams: the value of collaboration, shared vision, and accountability

· Importance of self-awareness: how understanding yourself creates freedom and choice

· Holistic healing: what it is and why it matters

· Mindset shifts that matter: habits, beliefs, and practices that support sustainable personal and professional change

· Balancing ambition with authenticity: why growth and groundedness go hand in hand
