  • New Day Ep 16 - You're A Masterpiece Under Repair

    New Day Ep 16 - You're A Masterpiece Under Repair
    Nov 4 2026
    Today’s episode is for anyone who has started introducing themselves by their damage instead of their design.

    Maybe you look at old photos and think, “Who was that woman? She seemed so free.” Maybe you talk about the best version of you in the past tense, like she moved away and stopped returning your calls.

    In this episode, I share what an art restorer taught me about the brilliant blue hiding under years of grime, why self-improvement got confused with self-rejection, and how one word can turn a verdict into a possibility. Because you are not broken, friend. You’re buried. And buried things can be uncovered.

    In This Episode
    • Why so many of us introduce ourselves by our damage instead of our design
    • What “restoration” really means, and the bold assumption built into the word
    • Carl Rogers’ “curious paradox” about accepting yourself so you can change
    • Why “broken” and “ruined” are verdicts, but “covered” and “buried” leave room
    • The glow-up culture that profits when you believe something is wrong with you
    • The difference between a fixer-upper and a masterpiece under repair
    Practical Activation Steps
    • Spend thirty minutes this week with something you loved before life got heavy.
    • Stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking “What’s been covering the real me?”
    • Swap “I’m a mess” for “I’m a masterpiece under repair.”
    • Swap “That season ruined me” for “That season covered me, but it didn’t cancel me.”
    • Set a timer for sixty seconds and say out loud everything that’s right with you.
    • Practice introducing yourself by your design, not your damage.
    Episode Affirmations
    I am not damaged goods.
    I am a masterpiece under restoration.
    What was lost is being returned to me.
    My joy, my voice, my peace and my purpose are coming back.
    The best of me is not behind me.

    Journal Prompt
    What has been covering my original design, whose words, which seasons, what habits, and if I were fully restored, what would I do this week that I’m not doing now?

    Favorite Quote from this Episode
    “You’re not a fixer-upper. You’re a masterpiece under repair.”

    This Week’s New Day Challenge
    For the next seven days, every time you catch yourself describing your past with words like “broken,” “ruined” or “damaged,” stop and say it again using “covered.” Then ask: “What’s one part of me I’m ready to get back?”

  • New Day Ep 15 - Stop Hitting Snooze on Your Life

    New Day Ep 15 - Stop Hitting Snooze on Your Life
    Oct 28 2026
    Today’s episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s been running on autopilot and calling it a life.

    We’ve all been there. Hitting snooze one more time, answering “How are you?” with “Busy” before the question is even finished, moving so smoothly through our days that nobody would guess we’ve been asleep at the wheel.

    In this first episode of The Language of Change, I share the question that woke me up, why “busy” is often the most comfortable place to hide, and why awakening is the word every other change depends on. Because you can be wide awake at two in the afternoon and still be sound asleep in your own life. Today, we wake up on purpose.

    In This Episode
    • Why you can’t build a new life with old words
    • The two-word question that stopped me in my tracks: “Tired of what?”
    • What the word “awakening” really means, and why it was never just about opening your eyes
    • Why “busy means I’m winning” is one of the most dangerous norms we live by
    • How checking your phone first thing lets the whole world set your mood before you’ve heard your own thoughts
    • Three signs you might be living on autopilot
    • Why a crisis is a terrible alarm clock, and how to choose a gentler one
    • The four things you leave behind when you choose to wake up
    Practical Activation Steps
    • Give the first five minutes of every morning to yourself. No phone, no email, no news.
    • Ask yourself each morning: “What do I want to be awake to today?” Write down your answer, even if it’s one word.
    • Catch one autopilot phrase each day and swap it. Instead of “It is what it is,” say “I’m awake to what it could be.”
    • Write “Wake up on purpose” on a sticky note and put it on your phone.
    • Notice how often you say things that aren’t true just because they’re easy.
    Episode Affirmations
    I am awake to my life.
    My eyes are open, and I see clearly.
    I don’t need a crisis to give me permission to change.
    I choose awareness over autopilot.
    My new day has begun.

    Journal Prompt
    Where in my life have I been on autopilot, and if I were fully awake right now, what would I notice first?

    Favorite Quote from this Episode “Busy isn’t winning. Awake is winning.”

    This Week’s New Day Challenge
    For the next seven days, before you pick up your phone, sit with yourself for five minutes and speak this declaration out loud: “I decree and declare that I am awakening. I will no longer sleepwalk through my life or speak words I don’t believe. My eyes are open, my spirit is alert, and I see clearly who I am and what is possible. I will not sleep through my new season. I am awake, and my new day has begun.”

    What if your relentless hustle is the exact thing blocking your highest potential? 🛑

    This week on New Day with Sybil Amuti, I’m sitting down with Melissa Gonzalez, the visionary author behind The Purpose Pivot. Inspired by a sudden, life-threatening medical wake-up call, Melissa breaks down how successful women can navigate their personal and professional journeys by honoring their bodies, processing hidden stress, and shedding outdated beliefs.

    Consider this episode your official invitation to trade exhausting pressure for fire-tested wisdom and step into your role as the ultimate "Vibe Director" of your life. ✨

    • Healing the Trauma of Hustle: How to address hidden past stress to complete your cycle of restoration.
    • Shedding Self-Doubt: Identifying the outdated beliefs you must unlearn to step into your next level.

    PRACTICAL ACTIVATION STEPS:
    • The 5-Minute Electronic Fast: Commit to five minutes of pure quiet every day with zero digital distractions.
    • The Pace Audit: Honestly ask yourself: “What is my current speed costing my body and my peace?”
    • Build a Power Phrase: Create a short, intentional mantra to anchor your mind when stress peaks.

    EPISODE AFFIRMATIONS:
    • "I do not have to rush what is beautifully unfolding."
    • "My body is fighting for me, and I choose to honor its voice."
    • "I am the intentional director of my own peace and alignment."

    JOURNAL PROMPT:
    What am I holding onto out of fear that I need to release to make room for my peace?

    New Day Ep 13 - The Purpose Pivot - The Hidden Power of Slowing Down
    Aug 26 2026
    The Purpose Pivot: The Hidden Power of Slowing Down

    Today's episode is for anyone who has been moving so fast that they haven’t had time to ask, “What do I actually need?” We live in a world that celebrates the hustle, the achievement, and the constant pursuit of what’s next. But sometimes the most powerful pivot isn’t a bigger move, it’s a slower pace.

    In this episode, I sit down with Shirley Ramos Roseman, a contributing author of The Purpose Pivot by Melissa Gonzalez, for a heart-centered conversation about slowing down, creating space, and discovering the peace that comes when we stop rushing the process. Because sometimes the clarity you’ve been praying for is waiting on the other side of the pause.

    Get your copy of The Purpose Pivot here: https://amzn.to/458GnwS

    In This Episode
    • Why slowing down can be the first step toward your next breakthrough
    • How constant movement can keep us disconnected from ourselves
    • The power of creating space to hear what matters most
    • Why peace is not something we find after the journey—it’s something we can cultivate along the way
    • How to trust the timing of your life
    Practical Activation Steps
    • Create five minutes of quiet each day with no distractions.
    • Ask yourself: “What is my pace costing me?”
    • Identify one thing you can release to make more room for peace.
    • Give yourself permission to move at the speed of wisdom, not pressure.
    Episode Affirmations
    I do not have to rush what is unfolding.
    Peace is available to me today.
    I trust the timing of my journey.
    My next step will become clear when I create space to listen.

    Journal Prompt
    What might I discover about myself if I slowed down long enough to listen?

    This Week’s New Day Challenge
    For the next seven days, create one intentional pause before you begin your day. Before you check your phone, answer emails, or respond to everyone else, ask: “What does my soul need from me today?”

    The Purpose Pivot: Detach from the Plan, Trust the Process.

    Today's episode is for anyone who has ever wondered, “What if my life doesn’t look the way I thought it would?” Because sometimes the biggest pivot isn’t changing direction, it’s releasing the plan we were so attached to.

    In this episode, I sit down with Modupe Rouse, a contributing author of The Purpose Pivot by Melissa Gonzalez, to talk about surrender, trust, and what happens when we detach from our timeline and make room for what’s next.

    The Purpose Pivot: How to Know When It’s Time to Change Direction

    Today's episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads wondering, “Is this the moment I’m supposed to move?” Because sometimes the hardest part of a pivot isn’t making the change, it’s trusting that the change is leading you somewhere better.

    Aug 5 2026
    Today's episode is for anyone who has ever thought, “Somewhere along the way, I stopped choosing myself.” Before we experience betrayal from someone else, many of us experience the quiet heartbreak of betraying ourselves: ignoring our intuition, silencing our dreams, and becoming who everyone else needed us to be.

    In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Riva, a contributing author of The Purpose Pivot by Melissa Gonzalez, to talk about healing self-betrayal, rebuilding trust with yourself, and finding your way back home.

  • New Day Ep 9 - The storm will pass, trust me

    New Day Ep 9 - The storm will pass, trust me
    Jul 20 2026
    Today's episode is a heart-to-heart for anyone who's been wondering, "How much longer can I carry this?"

    We've all been there, standing in the middle of a storm we thought would last a few days, only to look up months (or years) later wondering if God forgot our address.

    In this episode, I share what I've been learning about surviving long seasons, embracing life's pivots, and why gratitude is one of the most powerful strategies we have for making it through.

    Because while you're focused on the storm in front of you, God may already be rerouting the one that would've taken you out.

    In This Episode
    • Why some storms last longer than we ever expected—and what they're producing inside us
    • The surprising connection between gratitude and getting out of survival mode
    • How God protects us from storms we'll never even know existed
    • Why the people assigned to your life matter more than the crowd you're wishing for
    • The danger of isolating yourself when you're hurting
    • How comparison quietly steals your gratitude and keeps you stuck
    • Why your private life is where real transformation happens
    • How to stop being available for your problems and start becoming available for your success
    Practical Activation Steps
    • Start a gratitude list with ten things that are true today.
    • Reach out to the one or two people who have consistently shown up for you and simply say, "Thank you."
    • Ask yourself: "Where am I looking outside for answers when God is asking me to look within?"
    • Spend more time creating solutions than rehearsing problems.
    • Choose one small action today that supports the life you're praying for.
    • Speak one truth over yourself every morning before you check your phone.

    Episode Affirmations

    My storm is not my destination.
    God is preparing the path ahead of me.
    Gratitude gives me strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
    I have everything I need for my next step.
    I am becoming someone stronger than my circumstances.

    Journal Prompt
    What blessings have I overlooked because I've been so focused on the storm and how might gratitude change the way I walk through this season?

    Favorite Quote from this Episode
    "We've been available to our problems... but we haven't been available to our success."

    This Week's New Day Challenge
    For the next seven days, before you tell anyone what's wrong, tell God and yourself three things that are right.

    Then ask: "What solution is already sitting in front of me that I've been too discouraged to notice?"
