Amy Lenius: High Self-Belief, Low Self-Worth & Defining Success as a Woman

So many women believe they’re capable, but still struggle to feel worthy. In this episode, Kris talks with Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, event MC, and certified holistic self-improvement coach, about the gap between self-belief and self-worth, and how to close it. Amy shares the three struggles she sees most in the women she coaches: needing permission to define success for themselves, people-pleasing and weak boundaries, and not working with their natural hormonal cycles. She explains why worth has to come from the inside out instead of from roles like “good mom,” “good wife,” or “good daughter,” and offers simple practices to rebuild it: keeping promises to yourself, setting boundaries, showing up authentically, and noticing whether comparison inspires you or tears you down. She also opens up about her journey with endometriosis, being told she might never have children, becoming pain- and symptom-free and a mom of two boys, and how she went from massage therapist to “intrapreneur” and transformational leader. In this episode: Why high self-belief and low self-worth often go together How understanding your cycle helps you plan for success and give yourself grace Small experiments to discover who you authentically are (yes, bright nail polish counts) What transformational leadership is, and why women are naturally suited to many forms of leadership How to step into leadership when you feel stuck Holistic success: health, wealth, quality of life, and love
