This week on Chattin’ with Coach Amy, I’m honored to share a conversation with Anna, a 48-year-old wife, mama of three grown children, and faithful Trim Healthy Mama. Anna has walked through one of the hardest seasons of her life, losing both of her parents within just five months.Through it all, she has leaned on her faith and the tools that have supported her health, including bioidentical hormone therapy. Anna opens up about how stabilizing her hormones during perimenopause gave her strength, clarity, and resilience to keep showing up for her family even when grief felt overwhelming.Her story is about perseverance, hope, and learning to care for the body God has entrusted to us, even in seasons of deep loss. Anna’s wisdom and warmth will encourage you whether you’re walking through your own valley or simply looking for insight on what it means to build a healthier, stronger life.This is a conversation full of encouragement, perspective, and real-life experience that will bless every woman who listens. 💕Season 5 Episode 19Please visit my website to check out the health and wellness coaching opportunities I have currently and coming up: https://southernandhealthycoaching.com/
This week on Chattin’ with Coach Amy, I’m sharing the heart behind one of my favorite seasons in coaching. Over the years, I’ve coached so many women who were desperately searching for a lasting solution to their health struggles, but what they really needed was a mindset shift and a plan that worked for real life. That’s how the GRIT acronym was born. It came from watching women fight for their health, find their footing, and become who they were made to be.In this episode, I talk about the incredible transformation I’ve seen in clients who commit to the process, even when it’s messy. I share what GRIT really stands for, how powerful mindset work can be, and why I believe time is one of the best healing tools we have.You’ll also hear some stories of women who’ve stuck with it and seen major wins. And if you’re looking at the calendar and feeling discouraged by what hasn’t happened yet this year, I want you to know that these last 100 days don’t have to look like last year. You still have time to finish strong.Let’s do it together. Join #100Strong Today! https://form.jotform.com/southernandhealthyms/cas-100strong-challenge-2025Season 5 Episode 18

This week on Chattin’ with Coach Amy, I’m sitting down with my sweet client Lauren, someone who has walked the Trim Healthy Mama path with incredible grit, grace, and growth.In this episode, Lauren opens up about her journey from self-criticism to self-compassion. She shares how the vicious cycle of negative self-talk held her back for years… until she learned to show herself grace, lean into THM’s ever-reliable principles, and start believing that imperfect progress is still progress.💪 Her first #100Strong experience showed her a strength inside her. She saw that the plan could truly work in any season. And when 2024 brought unexpected changes in her body, Lauren didn’t throw in the towel. She had the mindset tools, the accountability, and the support to keep going.This episode is for the woman who thinks she has to do it all perfectly. For the one walking through a ‘pause’ season and wondering if she’s still making progress. Come be encouraged by Lauren’s story of transformation, mindset renewal, and the freedom that comes when you just keep showing up.Join #100Strong 2025 Here: https://form.jotform.com/southernandhealthyms/cas-100strong-challenge-2025Season 5 Episode 17Please visit my website to check out the health and wellness coaching opportunities I have currently and coming up: https://southernandhealthycoaching.com/
This week on Chattin’ with Coach Amy, I'm joined by two longtime clients and special friends, Cindy and Carol, who are living proof that community and accountability will completely transform your Trim Healthy Mama journey.
Together, they open up about what it’s like to walk the Trim Healthy Mama path alongside other women, women who cheer you on, lift you up, and remind you that you’re never alone. They show up. They support. They love big.
From sharing real struggles to celebrating wins, these ladies model what it means to be in it together. They’ll show you that when women support each other, they don’t just change their own lives, they change the lives of everyone around them. Expect encouragement. Expect wisdom. Expect to be reminded that the bonds we build in community are some of the strongest tools we have for lasting transformation.
This one is for every woman who’s ever needed a sister to say, “You’ve got this.” Whether you're just starting THM or you’ve been on the path for years, you’ll be inspired by their stories. This episode is a celebration of the bonds that carry us, the friends who lift us up when we stumble, and the truth that we're better together.
💕You are not meant to do this alone.
