AMY LYLE IS BACK!!

“Bio- maybe something like- after being in corporate America for 20 years our next guest went into shock when she got remarried and was trying to blend 2 households, 4 kids, 2 dogs and several guinea pigs. Luckily, she saw the humor in it all and wrote about even the most mortifying moments of being a stepmom- called The Book Of Failures.  The book opens with "I've been married for twenty years, not to the same people, but twenty years nonetheless." Amy is now a regular on Atlanta's popular morning show Atlanta and Company and a frequent guest on radio programs, does stand-up comedy and always incorporates her real-life struggles of marriage and children into her act.  Or something like that...”

When I was thinking about the endo of the year podcast I really thought of Amy. The idea of doing a special end of the year episode had “failure” written all over it.

When I think of failing and I had many of those this year we needed an expert.

Obviously there was a lot of discussion about #failures but we came up with5 tips to help you move forward and away from failure:

1. Get a mentor
2. Create a life map
3. Hearing and saying the word “NO”.
4. Small Steps
5. Gratitude

We also talk about Amy’s new book “We’re All A Mess, It’s OK. These are real stories of other people’s failures and how they learned from those events.
