b'Amy is a passionate, cause-driven entrepreneur on a mission to evolve the dating industry. \\nFive years ago, Amy left a thriving life in New York City to explore the world. She studied with masters of yoga, meditation, Buddhism and more and noticed that there was one common thread connecting the people she met: mindfulness. \\nAmy moved to Denver, Colorado inspired to create something that brings those people together in an intentional, authentic way. \\nGuided by her deep-rooted belief that authentic relationships and connections are the fastest way to personal growth, she founded MeetMindful.com for the millions of people who desire deep, meaningful relationships with a like-minded partner.\\nGuiding Principle, Quote or Mantra\\nIf you and / or your partner are in a triggered state, nothing is going to go well.\\xa0 When you can find compassion for where your partner is, good or bad, then everything will fall into place.\\nIt is not easy.\\nWhen you can ask what to do next from your heart instead of from the triggered ego / head state makes a huge difference. \\nWhen You Tripped Up \\nAmy did not know how to be in partnership until recently.\\xa0\\nShe was trying to be the best person she could be, but that is different from being the best partner she can be.\\nIn the past Amy cared more about letting her partner know that she felt injured or that whatever they did wasn\\u2019t right and how badly that felt, than about remedying the situation.\\nShe felt compelled to walk them through what they did that made her feel so bad, because if they just understood, then maybe they wouldn\\u2019t do it again.\\nThis got her in trouble a lot. \\nProudest moment in partnership\\xa0\\nAmy\\u2019s relationship with her boyfriend, Joe, is definitely it for her.\\nWhat she has experienced in her own personal growth is largely a result of their partnership.\\xa0\\nThe appreciation they each show the other for all the daily stuff that has to happen in life is inspiring.\\xa0 And instead of taking it for granted, making sure they know how much they appreciate it.\\nThe more she appreciates Joe for what he does, the more those things happen.\\nWhat is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received?\\nAmy was talking with Arielle Ford asking where are all the conscious men?\\nArielle said, \\u201cguys are spiritual and conscious and mindful in their own ways and it is not always going to be what you do as a woman.\\u201d \\nBest Partnership\\xa0Resource\\nAlison Armstrong\\u2019s programs at Understandmen.com\\nInterview Links \\u2013 \\nMeetMindful.com\\nAmy\\u2019s Facebook Link\\nAmy\\u2019s Twitter Link\\n'
