Imagine how different our work environments could be if every leader approached challenges with compassion.

Imagine how much more fulfilling our careers would feel if kindness led the way.

Now, imagine what’s possible when we let go of the self-sabotaging behaviors that keep us stuck—isolating, self-medicating, or holding onto past pain—and step into a life where we show up with intention and purpose.

In this episode, I talk with Amy Quesenberry, founder of Start With Compassion, as she shares her story of releasing past trauma and embracing a life guided by compassion. And let me just say—Amy is the real deal. I had the joy of spending a few days with her in real life, and she radiates compassion. It’s not just something she talks about—it’s how she moves through the world. She listens with her whole heart, greets everyone with joyful, grounded energy, and somehow always knows how to lighten the moment with a perfectly timed laugh.

Amy's story is a reminder that there’s another life waiting for us—we just have to be brave enough to find it. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about letting go and choosing compassion as a way of life.
