Dream Big With Amy

From Army Officer to Million-Unit Founder: Rachel Wood on Building a Business That Doesn't Cost You Everything

What does it actually take to build something that lasts, without losing yourself in the process? In this episode of Dream Big With Amy, I sit down with Rachel Wood, qualified dentist, former British Army Officer, exited founder $7 million & also built a consumer brand that sold over one million units globally, and recipient of the King's Award for Enterprise in Innovation. But behind every single one of those achievements was a moment that changed everything. The premature birth of her twin daughters. That moment did not slow her down. It redirected her completely. Rachel now coaches female founders to build durable, purpose-led businesses, ones that grow intentionally and support their family instead of competing with it. In this conversation, we talk about: — Why your life plan is never finished  — What the Army taught her about leadership that business school never could  — The reset moment that changed everything and what she did with it  — How to build a business with purpose rather than just profit  — What female founders get wrong when building something that lasts  — And what real freedom actually looks like for a woman who has built something If you are standing at a crossroads right now, if you know you need to make a decision but are terrified of what is on the other side, this episode is for you. 🎙️ Connect with Rachel: https://www.rachelwoodcoaching.com/ [https://www.rachelwoodcoaching.com/] 🎧 Never miss an episode: Subscribe to Dream Big with Amy wherever you listen to podcasts  ⭐ Love what you heard?

This one is just me. No guest. No script. Just honest. In today's solo episode I am taking you inside the last eight months of my life the burnout, the breakup, the health scare I didn't see coming, the stages I spoke on, the viral moment, and the chapter I just closed and why landing in Spain with my family felt like the first real breath I have taken in a very long time. Because here is the truth. I have been on. Constantly on. Building, moving, creating, surviving, all while quietly going through some of the most personally challenging moments of my life. And in the middle of all of it? I grew to 18,000 followers on LinkedIn. Had a post hit 372,000 views. Built a community of truly Unshakeable Women. And did not give up once. This episode is for the woman who is holding everything together on the outside while something inside her is quietly waving a white flag. I am sharing my five real tips for rebuilding your life, not the polished version. The honest one. Including why rushing the process is costing you everything. Why your nervous system is your foundation not a footnote. And why the most important growth you will ever experience happens in the moments you least want to keep going. Come for the honesty.

The Intuition You Stopped Listening To with Marine Melo, Intuitive & Mindset Coach

What happens when you hand your power over to someone else's blueprint and completely lose yourself in the process? Marine Melo almost burned her entire business down in 2023 by following coaches who made her forget to listen to herself. The sales dropped. The joy disappeared. And she had to rebuild from scratch this time on her own terms. In this episode we go deep on the intuition most women have been silencing for years. The invisible glass ceiling that isn't outside you. The difference between aligned action and just action. And how to finally tell the difference between your gut and your fear. This one is going to hit home. In this episode we cover: * Why template solutions and copy my blueprint approaches never work * How to tell the difference between your intuition and your fear * Why women override their own gut the moment someone with a big platform tells them there's a better way * The most common invisible blocks stopping women from their next level * How to reconnect to yourself after you've been burned by trusting the wrong person * What a woman deeply connected to her intuition looks like in business and how she makes decisions differently Work with Marine: * Instagram: @marine_melo_ * LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/marinemelo 🎧 Never miss an episode: Subscribe to Dream Big with Amy wherever you listen to podcasts  ⭐ Love what you heard?

From Rock Bottom to Rebuilding: How Two Cancer Diagnoses Changed Everything with Bron Watson

Most people's rock bottom happens once. Bron Watson got two breast cancer, then an incurable blood cancer. But instead of bouncing back to the life that almost broke her, she built a completely different one. In this powerful conversation, Bron shares what she discovered in 2017 after her second round of chemo the moment she realised that the life she was living was unsustainable, and that resilience doesn't have to mean relentless hustle. Bron is a business owner, educator, mother of five, two-time cancer survivor, and author of the upcoming book The Serenity Project: Finding Calm in the Chaos of Cancer. In this episode we talk about what true resilience actually looks like, building a business that doesn't burn you out, finding calm when life feels like complete chaos, and what it means to give yourself permission to stop surviving and start living.

How To Design A Life You Actually Want (And Stop Living Someone Else's)

Most people spend their entire lives living a version that was designed by someone else. Their parents. Their partner. Their culture. Their fear. In today's solo episode Amy gets honest about where she is right now leaving Miami, closing chapters in Costa Rica, heading to Spain to spend the summer with her family and what designing a life you actually want really looks like from the inside. Because it's not always glamorous. It's not always linear. And it rarely looks like the plan. But it is yours. And that changes everything. This episode is for the woman who knows something needs to change but doesn't know where to start. The one who is functioning on the outside but quietly wondering if this is really it. The one who has been waiting for permission that was never coming. Amy walks you through five powerful areas to explore, grab a journal because this episode is the work.

A regular Tuesday. Where are you? Who are you with? What are you working on? What does your body feel like? What can you hear? What are you wearing? Go wild. Nothing is too much. 📝 Prompt 3 — Your Superpower What do people always come to me for? What do I do that feels completely natural to me but seems incredibly hard for everyone else? What is the thing people say — how do you do that? — about? 📝 Prompt 4 — Your Joy List Write down ten things that genuinely bring you joy. Not what should make you happy.
