Amy Clover has a powerful story to share about pivoting her mindset from
one of self-flagellation and control toward acceptance and flexibility in
body, mind and spirit. After battling for years with eating disorders,
depression and a failed suicide attempt in a fitness industry that grew
increasingly oppressive, she now teaches people how to build strength from
the inside out. In her own words:

I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and hate who’s looking back, to
feel like you have no control whatsoever over your mind or your life, to
feel like you’re so broken that you’re beyond healing. I’ve struggled with
clinical depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and eating disorders
throughout my entire life. In fact, they almost killed me. I hit rock
bottom in 2005 when I was hospitalized on suicide watch. 

Having my freedom stripped from me in that hospital shocked me back to
life: it hit me that I’d given up. I’d never even tried to take action to
feel better because I just assumed that nothing would ever work for me.
With this realization fresh in my mind, I committed to working on myself
from the inside out as soon as I was released. After all, the worst had
already happened. I figured I had nothing else to lose.

Amy's recovery, and the mindset and methods she developed that created a
true sense of freedom, are what we'll cover in this week's show, along with
some of her recent business pivots.
