If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to make progress on your goals, this is it. We’re officially stepping into the most productive time of the year, and it’s not just my opinion, it’s backed by research. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down:
Why September, October, and November are proven productivity powerhouses
The psychology behind the “fresh start effect” and how back-to-school energy impacts you
How to harness this season’s momentum without burning out
The reflection question that will set you up for success by December 31st

If you’ve been sitting on a goal all year, now is the time to make progress. This episode will help you get clear on what matters most so you can finish the year proud of what you accomplished.

You know that thing you keep saying you want to do…but haven’t done yet? This episode is for you. In this solo episode, I explore what it’s really costing you when you stay stuck: emotionally, energetically, and mentally. It’s not just about time. When you delay taking action on something you care about, it chips away at your confidence, drains your energy, and blocks your sense of fulfillment. This episode will help you get real with yourself about what you want, what's holding you back and if you're ready to take action or if it's time to let it go.

Plus I share a teaser about the research I've been conducting! The results will be released on September 1 and those on my email list will be the first to know all about it. Jump on there at amandamckinney.com/free

What if the very words you use to describe yourself are holding you back? In this episode, therapist and entrepreneur Christy Pennison joins me for a powerful conversation about how labels—like "procrastinator" or "not business-minded"—can quietly limit our potential. We explore the importance of self-awareness, the difference between identity and habit, and how small, brave steps (plus the right support!) can help you rewrite the story you’re living by. If you're ready to release the labels that no longer serve you, this one’s for you.
