The Amy Ahlers Show

The Amy Ahlers Show is especially for ambitious, soulful, women that are ready to STOP being so hard on themselves, release self-bullying and embrace their Inner Wisdom. Have you been deeply hurt by other women? When I look at the hurt, trauma, and biggest challenges of my life they almost all center around the brutal side of female relationships. Since middle school days, I've been burned, stonewalled, betrayed, cheated, ghosted, smeared and so much more by women I deeply cared about and trusted. (Not to mention women who I don't even know that have slung arrows at me!) Tune in for today’s show and discover: Studies that show us how much women tear each other apart How to begin to unravel the mystery of sisterhood Why it’s worth it to create sisterhood even when you’ve been burned!

You’ve seen Dr. Shefali on Oprah (like a gazillion times!) and you hopefully have her bestselling books like The Awakened Family, and The Conscious Parent (if not, run, don’t walk to grab copies of both for yourself and every mom you love!), and now Amy is honored to have the opportunity to interview Dr. Shefali herself. We get real and raw, including sharing some vulnerable personal stories all in service of you becoming the mom you were born to be.
