In her interview with the Simple Habit app on "Mindfulness in the Workplace and Loving Yourself,” Amy shares her journey of being a recovering perfectionist, the continual sense of “not enough-ness” many high achievers struggle with, and how coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community in the mid-1990s set her on the path of inner inquiry and healing. Amy shared more about her life journey on a recent episode of the Radical Candor podcast “Coming Out at Work.”
