Show Notes
In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great privilege of speaking with Amy Kemp, author of I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More – Without More Work. Our conversation focused on the challenges of feeling unseen and the impact it has on personal and professional growth. Amy shared insightful concepts, including thought patterns such as "Money is a Mirror," among many others. She also addressed thought-provoking questions such as, "Does putting yourself out there in a significant way lead to a magnification of frustration when you don't feel seen?" and offered valuable strategies for overcoming these challenges. Amy Kemp is the owner and CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc. In her work within this growing company, Amy helps leaders and business professionals understand how deeply "thought habits" impact every part of their work and lives.
As a certified Habit Finder coach, Amy has led over 400 female business leaders through a four-month small group engagement called Encounter. This experience is designed to help clients replace subconscious thought habits that are no longer serving them with more healthy ones. She has worked through the Habit Finder curriculum with hundreds of leaders in one-on-one settings and with leadership teams at small and large companies.
In addition, Amy teaches two engaging online courses each year in the fall and spring that are designed to challenge and expand her clients' understanding of themselves and to welcome new, curious people into the scope of her work. Some of the most popular topics in her library of offerings are "Money Is a Mirror" and "A Boundary Is Not a Wall."
Finally, with the launch of her first book, I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More – Without More Work, on February 29, 2024, Amy has created an opportunity for everyone to learn and engage with her and the principles that guide her coaching.
While her business and professional accomplishments are many, Amy counts all of it a loss if she doesn't invest her best time and energy in leading and loving those closest to her in #kempnation. She has been married to Ryan for over twenty years and they have three children – Avery, Anthony and Andrew.

A lot of creatives think we are doomed to a life without systems because that's not our natural inclination. Our business is "us," which makes it difficult to scale. I know that I personally have trouble making the connection between who I am as a photographer and my branding.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with leadership advisor and host of The Virtual Campfire, Tony Martignetti. Tony shares what it means to live as a multidimensional person in a one-dimensional world, explaining how we are too often asked to compartmentalize or suppress parts of ourselves. Together, we explore why people feel trapped in narrow roles, how integrating hidden passions can unlock our true potential, and why embracing our multidimensional selves may be the key to solving today's most pressing challenges. Tony also introduces his Illumination Framework—a four-step path to uncovering what matters most and living with full expression. This episode is for anyone who feels boxed in by expectations, craves the freedom to express their true self, and is ready to step fully into the light of who they are meant to be.
