About Grow As I Go | Personal Growth, Mindset and Figuring Life Out
A personal growth and self improvement podcast about mindset, resilience and navigating life's unexpected changes.
Grow As I Go is a space for honest conversations, self reflection and real-life lessons on grief, rebuilding, and learning to keep going when life doesn't turn out how you expected.
No one has it all figured out - and this podcast doesn't pretend to. It's about growth, healing, and being human.
If you're on a journey of self-development and navigating change, or simply want to feel a little less alone in figuring it all out, this podcast is for you!
What I've Learnt From Growing As I Go | Season 1 Finale
Twenty episodes, four months, plenty of lessons - and one very big reminder: sometimes you just have to start before you feel ready!
In this Season 1 finale of Grow As I Go, I’m reflecting on what creating this podcast has taught me about personal growth, vulnerability, authenticity, connection and success - including why numbers don’t tell the whole story, why talking things through can be surprisingly therapeutic, and why stepping away isn’t the same as giving up.
I’m taking a six-week break to slow down, be present, spend time with family, celebrate my late brother, and head to Japan with my fiance. Then I’ll be back for Season 2 on 4 November.
Because this podcast was never about having all the answers. It’s about figuring things out as we go.
Key takeaways:
Talking openly can help us process things we haven’t fully understood ourselves.
Connection matters more than numbers - one meaningful message can mean more than hundreds of likes.
You don’t have to make everyone care about what you’re doing. The right people will find it.
Taking a break, slowing down and being present isn’t giving up - sometimes it’s exactly what we need.

Cake Day! When Life Changes Direction
What if one of the worst days of your life became the beginning of a life you wouldn’t trade for anything?
In this deeply personal episode, Amy shares the story behind Cake Day - the anniversary of the day she discovered her husband was cheating, and how she learned to rebuild her life after betrayal, loss and unexpected change.
A conversation about personal growth, healing, resilience and developing a growth mindset when life doesn’t go according to plan.
Key takeaways:
You can grieve the life you thought you’d have.
You don’t have to find a “silver lining” in painful experiences.
Healing isn’t about getting your old life back - it’s about building your new one.
You may not choose what happens, but you can choose what you do next.

Authenticity, Performance & the Need to Belong
What does it really mean to be authentic? In this episode of Grow As I Go, Amy explores authenticity, people-pleasing, fear of judgment and the pressure to perform versions of ourselves that feel more acceptable to others.
We unpack why being accepted isn’t always the same as belonging, and how being kind, setting boundaries and staying true to yourself can sometimes mean risking discomfort or rejection.
Key takeaways:
Why we perform and people-please to feel accepted and safe
The difference between being nice and being kind
Why authenticity requires self-acceptance, not fearlessness
How to stop making other people’s acceptance a condition of your own self-worth
