The Amberly Lago Show: Stories of True Grit and Grace

Welcome to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! This is one of those conversations that will truly stay with you long after you hear it. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Matthew Long, firefighter, endurance athlete, and one of the most resilient people you will ever meet. His story is nothing short of extraordinary. Matt was in the best shape of his life, training for marathons and Ironman races, when everything changed in an instant. While riding his bike to work in New York City, he was run over by a 40,000-pound bus and given just a 1% chance to live. What happened next is a story of survival, strength, and the power of mindset. Matt shares what it was like to fight for his life through dozens of surgeries, months in a medically induced coma, and years of recovery. But what makes this conversation so powerful is not just what he went through, it's how he chose to move forward. We talk about pain, perseverance, and what it really means to live with adversity instead of trying to "overcome" it. Matt opens up about how mindset, movement, and purpose helped him rebuild his life, and how he continues to show up every single day despite ongoing physical challenges. This conversation is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring. If you've ever faced a setback, felt stuck, or questioned whether you have what it takes to keep going, this episode will remind you that you are stronger than you think.

Welcome to a deeply heartfelt episode of The Amberly Lago Show. In this powerful and emotional conversation, I sit down with the incredible Jessica Smith Moyer, wellness and leadership coach, speaker, and woman of deep faith who has walked through unimaginable loss and still chooses to lead with strength, compassion, and purpose. Jessica's story is one of resilience in its truest form. From navigating an eating disorder at a young age to facing the devastating diagnosis and loss of her infant son, she has experienced the kind of grief that changes you forever. And yet, through it all, she has found a way to turn her pain into purpose and her story into a source of hope for others. In this episode, we talk about grief, healing, burnout, and what it really means to lead yourself well in every area of your life, body, mind, and spirit. Jessica shares how she moved through seasons of survival, how she learned to ask for help, and how she created a framework that now helps other women rebuild their lives with intention and strength. We also dive into topics so many women struggle with but don't always talk about openly, including body image, identity, emotional health, and the pressure to "hold it all together." This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply inspiring.

Welcome back to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! In this conversation, I sit down with the incredible Amy P. Kelly, USA Today bestselling author, leadership expert, and someone who has spent decades helping organizations and leaders navigate what truly matters, people. This episode is all about a truth that so many of us feel but don't always say out loud: work is personal. We can try to separate business from emotions, performance from people, but the reality is, people don't leave their humanity at the door when they show up to work. And when leaders forget that, it doesn't just impact productivity… it impacts trust, connection, and culture. Amy shares her journey as a global HR executive and the moment that changed everything for her, when she realized that the phrase "it's not personal, it's just business" couldn't be further from the truth. That realization became the foundation of her work helping leaders build cultures where people feel seen, valued, and supported. In this episode, we dive into leadership, burnout, boundaries, workplace culture, and what it really takes to create an environment where people don't just perform, they thrive. This conversation is honest, practical, and incredibly relevant whether you're leading a team, running a business, or simply trying to show up better in your own life. We Discuss • Why "work is personal" and why that truth matters more than ever • The moment Amy decided to challenge the idea that business isn't personal • How leaders can better understand what truly matters to their people • The impact of boundaries and why leaders must model them • Burnout, well-being, and why wellness is not "soft" — it's strategic • Why money alone doesn't create loyalty or fulfillment • The role of meaningful recognition and how to do it right • How to create a true sense of belonging in the workplace • The importance of connection, communication, and consistency in leadership • Practical ways to build stronger, more human-centered teams Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Amy P. Kelly 03:10 Why work is personal 08:40 The moment that changed Amy's perspective 14:25 Navigating boundaries in leadership 20:10 Burnout and workplace expectations 26:45 Why compensation alone doesn't keep people 33:30 Meaningful recognition and leadership impact 39:15 Creating belonging in the workplace 45:40 Building connection and team culture 52:10 Practical leadership strategies that actually work To Connect With Amy P.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Amberly Lago Show! In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Cheryl Wood, internationally renowned TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and CEO of Global Speakers University. Cheryl is truly a force, not just because of what she has achieved, but because of the journey she took to get there. From working as a legal secretary in corporate America to becoming a global speaker, seven-figure entrepreneur, and transformational leader, Cheryl's story is a testament to what's possible when you refuse to stay stuck in a life that no longer aligns with your purpose. In this episode, Cheryl takes us back to where it all began, growing up in poverty, navigating life without a college degree, and believing that a steady paycheck was the definition of success. But deep down, she knew she was meant for more. Through courage, faith, and a willingness to take imperfect action, she began building her path, starting with a simple t-shirt business that eventually led her to her first speaking opportunity. We talk about the real struggles behind success, the fear, the self-doubt, the comparison, and the "head trash" that holds so many women back from stepping into their calling. Cheryl shares how she learned to stop waiting, start showing up, and trust that she was already enough. This conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply relatable. If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or afraid to take the next step toward your dreams, this episode will remind you that your voice matters, your story matters, and your next level is possible. We Discuss: • Cheryl's journey from corporate America to global speaker • Growing up in poverty and breaking generational limitations • The moment that pushed her to stop surviving and start living • How taking imperfect action led to her first speaking opportunity • The power of showing up and building meaningful connections • Fear, limiting beliefs, and comparison as the biggest blockers for women • Why failure is a necessary part of success • How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt • The importance of alignment with your purpose and calling • Practical ways to push through fear and take action Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Cheryl Wood 03:20 From corporate job to dreaming bigger 08:45 Growing up in poverty and breaking the cycle 14:10 The moment everything shifted 20:05 Starting her first business with no experience 26:30 Her first speaking opportunity and breakthrough 32:15 The power of showing up and connection 38:40 Why fear, comparison, and limiting beliefs hold women back 45:20 Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-doubt 52:10 How to push through fear and take action To Connect With Dr. Cheryl Wood Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cherylempowers/ Website https://www.cherylempowers.com/ To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ Become a best selling author today https://selfpublishing.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/ Joy Through the Journey https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Through-Journey-Amberly-Lago Listen to The Amberly Lago Show https://amberlylago.com/podcast/ Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Welcome to one of the most important episodes I have ever recorded on The Amberly Lago Show. I sit down with my incredible friend Becky Rasmussen, CEO and founder of Call to Freedom, a nationally recognized nonprofit on the front lines of the fight against human trafficking. Becky was called to this work by God, stepped out in faith as a single mom with no paycheck, and built something extraordinary from the ground up. What started with one divine encounter with a young girl named Marissa at the Sturgis Rally in 2015 has grown into a gold standard organization that has served nearly 1,900 survivors across the United States and beyond. Human trafficking does not look like the movies. It looks like a troubled kid. A runaway. Months of grooming by someone a family already trusts. A young boy too ashamed to tell anyone what is happening to him. Becky breaks it all down in this episode and what she shares will open your eyes. This conversation is urgent, it is hopeful, and it is a powerful reminder that this is not just a Call to Freedom issue. It is a community issue. And there is a place for every one of us in this fight.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that many people avoid talking about openly: money, financial freedom, and building a legacy.

Welcome to a deeply meaningful episode of The Amberly Lago Show. In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my dear friend, fellow CRPS warrior, bestselling author, speaker, and suicide loss advocate Tiffaney Lindsey Childers. Tiffaney doesn't just talk about resilience, she has lived it. After losing both of her parents to suicide and carrying years of suppressed grief and emotional trauma, she found herself navigating unimaginable pain, both emotionally and physically. Through that journey, she discovered that unprocessed grief doesn't just disappear, it finds a way to surface. In this episode, Tiffaney shares how years of suppressed trauma eventually manifested physically through chronic pain and CRPS after a failed hip surgery. What followed was a powerful awakening that led her to confront the grief she had buried for nearly two decades. We talk openly about suicide loss, the hidden weight of unresolved trauma, and how silence can keep people stuck in pain far longer than necessary. Tiffaney courageously shares how journaling, walking, community support, and faith became powerful tools in her healing journey and ultimately led her to write her bestselling book The Rise Back. This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring. If you have ever experienced grief, trauma, or felt like you were just surviving day to day, this episode will remind you that healing is possible, and that your story can become the very thing that helps someone else find hope. We Discuss • Tiffaney's journey through suicide loss and suppressed grief • The connection between unresolved trauma and physical illness • Living with CRPS and chronic pain after hip surgery • Why silence around suicide loss can delay healing • The power of journaling as a healing tool • How community and support groups can change everything • The importance of reaching out before shutting down • How faith helped transform pain into purpose Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Tiffaney Lindsey Childers 03:10 Living with CRPS and chronic pain 09:45 The impact of losing both parents to suicide 16:20 Suppressed grief and emotional survival 22:40 When trauma begins to surface physically 28:15 The moment healing truly began 35:05 Journaling and writing The Rise Back 42:30 The importance of community and support groups 48:55 Advice for someone struggling with grief 54:20 Turning pain into purpose and advocacy To Connect With Tiffaney Lindsey Childers Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tiffaneychilders/ The Rise Back: Reclaiming Life After Suicide Loss, Pain, and Silence: https://shorturl.at/qagLy To Connect With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Coaching Program https://go.amberlylago.com/ Website https://amberlylago.com/ My favorite for gut health & wellness https://plexusworldwide.com/?sponsor=Amberlylago My MAKE Wellness link https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=521698 Unstoppable Success Summit 2026 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unstoppable-success-summit-2026-breaking-chains-building-dreams-tickets-1968268162057?aff=oddtdtcreator Become a sponsor https://go.amberlylago.com/uss2026-sponsors/

Welcome to another powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show! In this heartfelt and deeply honest conversation, Amberly sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and mentor Mairin Moore Cane to explore resilience, healing, and the courage it takes to rebuild your life when everything changes. Mairin opens up about her extraordinary journey through chronic illness, severe health struggles, and the moment her life completely shifted after years of pushing herself through nonstop hustle and entrepreneurship. At one point bedridden and weighing only 90 pounds, she was forced to confront one of the darkest seasons of her life and rediscover who she truly was beyond productivity, performance, and expectations. Together, Amberly and Mairin dive into the importance of slowing down, listening to your body, and learning how to rebuild from the inside out. Mairin shares the powerful framework she developed during her healing journey Root, Realign, and Rise and explains how embracing gratitude, creativity, and self-awareness helped her move from simply surviving to living with deeper purpose and alignment. They also discuss the pressures women face to shrink, stay quiet, or push themselves beyond their limits, and how reclaiming your voice and identity can become the most powerful step toward transformation.
