Standing Up and Standing Out on Your Own w/ Amy Stretten

Published: June 17, 2020, 3:30 p.m.

b'Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast with Shay, Amy shares how she went from a journalism graduate to news correspondent, to laid-off, and finally becoming her own boss through her blog, The Chief of Style. She loves her diversity as being mixed race, bilingual, and an identified queer femme and has taken that to find her niche. Amy has gone through some tough times in the past three years and I am so inspired how she has learned many ways to heal, learn, and keep pushing forward. We talk about fear and what the scariest thing has been since she started her own business, faith in the Universe, how she was taught to learn by doing, and the process of shedding years of generational trauma. She also gives a piece of advice, a question specifically, she heard many years ago to ask yourself when you\\u2019re feeling down and not loving yourself. You\\u2019re going to want to hear it!\\nYou can find and support Amy at her blog The Chief of Style (www.chiefofstyle.com), on Instagram and Facebook at @chiefofstyle, and on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook at @amystretten.
