Most people are waiting. Waiting until they're ready, polished, healed, or "together enough" to fully show up. High Agency is the antidote to that. Hosted by someone who has built businesses, raised three kids, works in commercial real estate and private equity and spent 3 years showing up to all of it without front teeth - this podcast is proof that your circumstances don't determine your presence. You do.
From Sleeping in a Dresser Drawer to $3.5 Billion: Mike Jackson Sr. in Belief, Ambition & Rewriting Your Story
Mike Jackson Sr. was told by a teacher he’d never amount to anything. In 45 years of being an entrepreneur he’s helped generate over $500 million in earnings for the people he’s mentored, built a company from $25 in grocery money to $3.5 billion in sales, and become the guy strangers can’t help but open up to at Applebee’s.
In this episode, Amy sits down with her real-life “Uncle Mike” mentor, business builder, and lifelong talent scout to talk about what actually separates people who break generational patterns from those who don’t, and why belief (real belief, not performative belief) changes outcomes.
In this episode:
• 00:00 – Uncle Mike’s origin story: from bus driver to business builder
• How a $5,000 speaking fee turned into a $1M business acquisition — paid off in 2 months, not 2 years
• What Mike looks for when he’s “talent scouting” strangers
• The dresser drawer, the dysfunction, and the teacher who threw a book at his head
• Why people perform based on what they think others expect of them
• $25 in grocery money → $3.5 billion in sales
• Uncle Mike’s closing philosophy: Goal, Plan, Action — and why followers get what everyone else gets

Maintaining Impenetrable Peace When Life is Hard
I am not here to teach you. I am here to inspire you to have new perspectives and ask yourself better questions that may lead you to living your best life.
A few of m
1 I focus on learning from my mistakes, and I don’t even necessarily count it as a mistake because it comes out as a net gain in the end when you have the right mindset.
2 Peace is a gift from God, not something you have to earn or strive for. You just receive it. Making room to receive it could require you to make changes to your life.
3 You don’t have to be strong alone. Trying to carry everything in your own power is actually risking your relationship with God.
4 Don’t be afraid of life. Fear is what causes the pain, not life itself.
5 Even when life
Is hard you can still have peace.

The Catalyst Table - It’s All About the Room
You’re handpicked. You’re here for a reason. Something special is going to happen.
That’s the energy Amy brought to an intimate lunch she called the Catalyst Table — a hand-curated gathering of women built on one belief: the right relationships don’t just support your growth, they accelerate it.
In this episode, Amy shares what unfolded at that table, the prayer she wrote from the heart for the room, and why being okay without having might be the most liberating thing you can practice right now.
Topics covered:
• The Catalyst Table: why she created it and what happened
• A prayer for alignment, abundance, and acceleration
• The agate analogy: how the right people shine you up
• Wanting without attachment — and why detachment isn’t settling
• Why triggers are just areas that need healing

Your Gift Was Never Meant to Stay Free
Have you ever felt weird charging for something you’re good at? Undercharged, overgave, or quietly believed that wanting money was somehow wrong? In this episode of High Agency, Amy gets honest about the money beliefs that quietly run our lives — where they come from, how they show up in your business and your relationships, and how to start replacing them with something true. From why “the love of money is the root of all evil” is more misunderstood than you think, to why every dollar you earn is actually proof you served someone well — this one will shift something in you. Plus, a money affirmation to close that you’ll want to write down.
In this episode:
• The lie that money is evil and where it really comes from
• How unhealthy money beliefs show up as undercharging and overgiving
• The “report card” reframe that changes everything
• A practical exercise to uncover your own fear-based money beliefs
• A closing affirmation for financial peace and alignment

If you're in the middle of a hard season, this episode will shift how you see it.
What you'll walk away with:
A framework for moving out of apathy, grief, and fear
The difference between a victim mindset and a high agency mindset
Why resistance is a necessary part of becoming who you're meant to be

The Shift: Courage, Identity, and Letting Go of Who You Were
What if the hardest part of becoming who you’re meant to be is grieving who you used to be? In this episode Amy walks through three identity shifts — homeschool mom, residential realtor, and yes, the tooth era — and what David Hawkins taught her about courage as the entry point to personal power.
