Get Out of Your Damn Way with Dr. Amy Boyd
Get Out of Your Damn Way is a podcast to help women to silence the inner mean girl and get shit done. Do you have big dreams you are chasing, but when you consider taking action, that inner bitch sits on your shoulder telling you all the reasons why you can’t? Things like, “you don’t have anything meaningful to say”, “you don’t deserve a seat at the table”, or “you aren’t smart enough to do this”, so you just end up complaining to your partner, deciding you’ll just scroll social media instead, or mutter to yourself, “she’s right” as you pour yourself a big-ass glass of wine?
If you have been wishing you could tell your inner mean girl to sit down and shut up, but you can’t seem to keep her quiet, then Dr. Amy Boyd is here to help. This podcast gets to the root of why you can’t seem to get out of your damn way, and it lies in that beautiful brain of yours… your thoughts.Since 2017 her company “Write the Damn Dissertation” has helped over 10,000 women make progress on their doctoral dissertations, and yet we all have "dissertations" that never get written, painted, performed, created, spoken, or shared. Inspired by coaching conversations with high performing women, we talk about what life looks like chasing dreams and reaching goals while preventing the bitchy inner mean girl from flying the plane.

Episode 1: Me and The Mean Girl
Hey, I’m Amy.
Like you, I have a lot of roles in life. I’m a wife, a mom to two french bulldogs I’m completely obsessed with, and mom to a human teenager, the CEO of a young and successful company, my love language is tequila with chips and salsa, and I have a strong inner-mean girl game.
A few years ago, I heard the term “inner mean girl” in a podcast I was listening to while I was working in the lavender fields on our farm.
I didn’t realize that those thoughts I had like “you aren’t good enough”, “you aren’t smart enough”, “people will find out that you are a fraud” were actually a choice.
I didn’t believe that those sentences playing on repeat in my head were just thoughts that I created and chose to believe.
I thought it was the truth.
This discovery, the discovery that my thoughts about me were optional alone, took me on a personal development path that would end up completely changing my life in ways I never imagined were possible.
