Amy Lenius
Amy Lenius explores the psychology of self-sabotage and personal growth, focusing on the distinction between fear of success and fear of failure. She introduces a framework of three core wounds that unconsciously drive our behavior: "unlovable" (those who fear losing love and need social courage), "unwanted" (those who feel excluded and need vulnerability), and "defective" (those who struggle with competence and seek significance). Amy then breaks down her 5-Point Consistency Star, which includes self-belief, humility, sustainability, adaptability, and grit—emphasizing that sustainable habits require starting small and having "check the box" versions for difficult days. The overarching message is that growth is messy and non-linear, requiring us to show up imperfectly rather than waiting for perfect conditions, and that "lonely land" is a normal part of any growth journey.
