Ignite Your Confidence, Expectation, and Growth In 2026
Hey friends — it’s Amy.
Today’s episode is a powerful conversation about igniting something inside of you — your confidence, your expectation, and your willingness to grow.
Because if we’re honest, most people don’t lack potential…
They lack expectation.
They lack confidence.
And they’ve gotten a little too comfortable staying where they are.
In this episode, I’m talking about why confidence isn’t something you wait to feel — it’s something you activate. Expectation works the same way. What you anticipate, you experience. And growth? Growth always asks you to step outside of what feels safe before it ever feels rewarding.
We dive into the tug-of-war every human feels between certainty and growth. We want stability — but we also crave movement. And when we choose comfort for too long, life starts to feel tight… like a coat that no longer fits, yet we keep putting it on anyway.
If you’ve felt restless, stretched, or aware that something needs to change — that’s not failure. That’s awareness. And awareness is the beginning of transformation.
This episode will challenge you to:
• Raise your internal standard
• Stop repeating habits that no longer serve you
• Expect more — and act like it
• Commit to growth, even when it feels uncomfortable
2026 doesn’t need more hype.
It needs intentional decisions.
My hope is that today’s episode helps you stop negotiating with fear and start moving forward with clarity, courage, and conviction.
You’re not behind.
You’re not stuck.
You’re just being invited to grow.
