Hi,
I'm Amy and welcome to this quick talk for those of you who are finding life.
Really hard right now.
I wanted to make this video to discuss the possibility that life always has a plan.
Whether you are a religious person,
Spiritual or a scientific thinker,
I believe that you can take something away from what I'm about to share.
Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try to create opportunities.
Success or just ease in your life.
It's one step forward and two steps back.
If that is your life.
Then it's probably needing to shift.
If you feel that struggle,
Like you are constantly forcing things to fall into place,
And they just don't.
Then,
Stop forcing it.
And just observe.
What is happening for a moment.
If something that you are trying to create or stick with in your life doesn't align with who you really are.
What you really need.
Your core values.
It will be very hard for you to create it.
Higher power.
The universe.
The Divine,
God,
Whatever you believe.
Has a way of stripping us of what we think we need.
And giving us what we actually do.
Life will humble us when our focus is on things that don't truly serve us or others around us.
So when you reach a really low point,
Don't resist the struggle.
Accept the change.
And this hurt.
Don't get me wrong.
Can you accept the possibility that there is something that you are meant to be learning.
Something else that you are meant to be doing?
Is life forcing you to reset your focus on the things that really matter?
Let me give you an example,
And it might seem silly,
But bear with me.
Recently,
I have been going through some pretty serious financial difficulty.
And no matter what I've earned or how hard I have focused on boosting my career.
Life has just found a way of depleting me of money.
One way or another.
Now,
For years,
And bear with me on this,
I have wanted my hair to be a certain colour.
A dirty,
Blonde,
Light brown,
Almost grey toned colour.
And for years,
I have been spending.
Hundreds at multiple salons attempting to achieve this colour that I've desired and no hairdresser has ever gotten close to it.
Six months ago,
Due to financial difficulty,
Life forced me to stop going to the hairdresser for the first time in 25 years.
At the time,
That felt pretty sad to me.
But for the first time since I was a child,
My roots have grown out and I've gotten to see the natural colour of my hair.
And you know what I see?
I see the colour that I have been paying hairdressers for years to give me.
It was here.
All along.
It's me.
And I love it.
When my money started to disappear.
And my career started to falter,
I felt really lost.
Desperate,
Like I'd failed at everything.
And I had so much time all of a sudden with nothing to do and I slipped into procrastination and self-loathing and depression and hopelessness.
But after a little while of that.
And a few months of fighting against it,
Trying to revive a career that was not providing for me.
With no success,
I opened my heart to the universe and said,
Fine.
I accept it.
Why am I being humbled?
Why am I being stripped of my possessions?
What is it that you are wanting me to realise?
Back in February 2026.
As a result of my career struggles.
I finally took steps.
To do something I've wanted to do for a very long time.
I started writing meditation tracks.
And posting them here on Insight Timer.
And so far,
This has been one of the most cathartic,
Rewarding things that I've ever done.
I am connecting with people like you.
I am helping others with my voice.
I'm finally back in what I like to call creative flow state.
Now am I still in the shifting phase?
Yes,
I am.
My career is shifting.
I'm about to embark on more training,
More projects,
More immersion in this wonderful world of well-being.
And I hope to make it sustainable in the future.
But the key.
.
.
Is that I am happy.
I believe that this is how I am meant to leave an imprint on the world.
Because nothing has ever felt so right.
And if I didn't have the low?
I wouldn't have found this path.
So if you find yourself at a really low point in your life,
Try accepting that it's just time for your next chapter.
If I had not experienced a loss of work.
I would not be here.
Talking to you.
Recording this video today.
And similarly if your life is shifting.
If your perspective needs to change.
Then that's okay.
It hurts and it can feel really scary when it's happening.
But just like a pendulum swings low,
It comes back up again.
Our lives are constantly in motion.
Nothing is ever secure and we take that for granted a lot.
We are energetic beings.
Our paths are meant to shift.
Meander and change through our lifetime.
And if you can just trust that it is going to be okay.
And notice what you are being taught.
Open your chest to the sky,
Stand in the rain and say,
Okay life.
Strip me of everything.
Then you can be reborn.
As someone more powerful.
Change is coming.
See you soon.
