Amy Landino on Building a Life You're Excited to Wake Up For
What happens when the productivity expert everyone looks to for answers discovers that success isn't really about routines at all?
In the very first episode of What She Needed, I sit down with bestselling author, keynote speaker, high-performance coach, and creator Amy Landino for a conversation about ambition, identity, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the unexpected lessons that shape the life we're truly meant to live.
Amy is best known for her global bestseller Good Morning, Good Life, a book that has helped thousands of women rethink how they approach their mornings, their goals, and their time. But in this conversation, we go beyond morning routines and productivity hacks.
We talk about what happens when you pivot into a new chapter before you have proof it's the right move, the pressure women feel around timelines and motherhood, the realities of building a business over decades, and why becoming the person you want to be matters more than forcing outcomes.
This episode is an honest reminder that sometimes the thing we need isn't a better plan. It's a deeper trust in ourselves.
