The School of Self-Mastery: Business, Money, Life

The School of Self-Mastery podcast is all about business, money and life. I talk with guests who have created a RICH life for themselves, not because they’re bathing in money, (although they may be doing that too) but because they’ve defined and created success on their own terms, through their own personal successful habits. Habits are the root of simplifying your success I also appear solo two days a week to dive deeper into self-mastery topics and give actionable takeaways you can start applying today.

Crushin' It vs Being Crushed

In today's episode, Erin and I will be having a raw and real conversation about guilt. This is something we've all dealt with whether we have children or not. 

Feeling guilty for working on the business when we feel like we "should" be spending time with our loved ones. Or feeling guilty that we're spending time with our loved ones when we have 10 thousand things we need to be working on in our business. 

The guilt appears. But it doesn't have to be this way. 

Tune in to hear the realness of all the guilt and how to deal with it in your own life and business.

Crushin' It vs Being Crushed

In today's episode, Erin and I will be having a raw and real conversation about my major fears around parenthood. They are big y'all. 

I mean things that most humans wouldn't say out loud because it's not polite. 

Like...what if I was the one person to like my dog more than my child? Would that make me a horrible mom?

Even worse, what if I like my business more and I'm resentful of the baby because it steals me away from the business?! 

This is just the tip of the iceberg from this #napchat. Tune in to hear the realness of all the fears.

Are You Making Excuses or Solving Problems?

Excuses don’t solve problems.

I am from a mindset of continuous improvement -- how can we constantly be doing better? Not making excuses for why we can't get to where we want to go. 

When looking at your own business and mindset in general, are you holding yourself back by making excuses or are you getting creative and resourceful enough to find a new way to do things? To solve the problem. 

Challenges are a part of life, they are a part of business...but it's how you respond to them that determines how successful you will become. They're there to teach us something, to require more of us, and to separate the weak from the strong {and resourceful}. 

So instead of wasting time on excuses, you can choose to spend time solving the problem. It's all about how you THINK about it. 

No one succeeds by complaining. No one succeeds by making excuses. The best succeed by using their energy to solve their problems.

Dr. Amy Cannatta is a chiropractor, single mom-preneur, business mentor and farm girl at heart. 


Two years ago, family tragedy struck and her four and half year old nephew who lived with her, died suddenly in his sleep and that is when her perspective on life changed forever. At that moment in time, she was hit with the realization that she wasn't doing enough to help make the world (and other people's lives) better on a larger scale beyond the 4 walls of her successful chiropractic office. 

She already had some success. In 2002, she left a domestic violence situation with 7 trash bags full of stuff with her daughters who were then five and three years old while in the middle of a doctoral program. She went on to graduate with honors, start her own practice, and learn a lot along the way about resilience, building a business, and juggling life as a single mom and entrepreneurship. But her story doesn’t end there. 

So 2 years ago after her nephew passed away, she decided to enter the online coaching world so that she could teach women globally what she had learned about life and business, leading to a ripple effect. Since starting her coaching business, she has published a #1 Amazon best seller titled, Pursepective: From Ruin to Resilience, is now a writer for The Huffington Post, replaced her income as a chiropractor, and teach women all over the world how they can do the same by prioritizing their purpose and developing a relentlessly resilient mindset (with some business strategy sprinkled in). 

Amy knows that the root of success lies in a relentlessly resilient mindset, hard work, and at times, having to creatively shift your perspective. By doing these things, the outcomes can be massive and change the trajectory of a human beings path in life.

On this episode, Amy and I discuss:

  • Developing relentless resilience: how and why an unbreakable mindset separates you from the pack
  • Why you aren't where you want to be - (You're probably asking yourself the wrong questions)
  • Why do we think that it's not ok or that we are ABNORMAL if we want to make a big impact.
  • The DREAM Framework to start cultivating a Resiliency mindset

You can get FREE access to the Relentless Resilience Framework here and grab a copy of Amy's best selling book, Purspective, here.
