IT’S TIME FOR
BOUNDARIES OVER BULLSHIT BURNOUT
Let me guess.
You’re successful. You’re accomplished. You’ve got the degrees, the title, the responsibility. (Even if that feels soooo cringey and braggy to admit).
But I’m also guessing there’s a part of you that whispers, ‘Is this it? Is this what I worked so hard for? Like, shouldn’t I be a shit-ton happier?’
What if I told you that the life you’re craving—where you feel as powerful on the inside as you appear on the outside—isn’t just possible, it’s actually waiting ready for you?
Spoiler: You can. And I can show you how.

Hi! I’m Amy. [she/her]

FROM CORPORATE OVERACHIEVER TO
Boundary Badass
Picture this:
Company car. Personal assistant. International travel. Corner office energy. I was that woman—the one who’d ‘made it’ in the corporate beauty industry, responsible for artist training and development across multiple locations.
I was also the woman who hadn’t listened to music in my car in years because every moment was consumed by conference calls, company voicemails, and [insert other corporate bullshit] <~ IYKYK. The woman who routinely missed important events of friends and family, because lipstick.
The woman who’d sacrificed her joy on the altar of someone else’s quarterly profits.
Then came the day that changed everything.
During one particularly soul-crushing commute, I did something wild—I turned on the radio (remember radio!? It was the early oughts, btw). When Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Breakaway’ started playing, something inside me just… broke. Actually, it broke free.
‘I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly…’
Next thing I knew, I was full-on ugly crying, mascara carving abstract black rivers on my cheeks, false lashes staging their own rebellion. By the time I pulled into my driveway, I fully looked like the Joker – the Heath Ledger version.
My husband took one look at my face and knew. With a theatrical gesture that would’ve made Shakespeare proud, I choked out,
‘I’m this close 🤏 to completely losing myself.’
That was it. My day of reckoning. The day I realized that
success without self-worth is just glamorous self-abandonment.

BOUNDARIES OVER BURNOUT
B ut like much hardship in life, that breakdown was actually a breakthrough in disguise. Because what I discovered next changed not only the trajectory of my life, but the lives of thousands of women who I’ve had the honor to shepherd on their own path to worthiness.
Listen.
YOU are not broken.
But your beliefs sure AF need some work.
(Not like, your beliefs in an afterlife or anything, but your beliefs about not being ‘enough’, capable, or deserving.)
And when you transform those beliefs? When you remember that your worth isn’t something you earn but something you ARE?
That’s when the magic happens.
You
What I’m About Now
(Spoiler: It’s All About YOU)
Today, I help brilliant women in leadership positions or burnout-prone industries—women just like you—create lives that feel as successful on the inside as they look on the outside.
And that shows up in two major forms:
1) Unshakable self-worth and
2) Powerful boundaries.
Because here’s what I know to be true:
You already have everything you need to transform your life. You just need someone to remind you of your power and show you exactly how to wield it.
READY TO START SPEAKING UP FOR YOURSELF WITHOUT BEING A DICK? OF COURSE YOU ARE.

Boundaries in your work world are just the beginning.
Worthy
WHEN YOU TRULY BELIVE YOU’RE WORTHY, YOUR BULLSHIT TOLERANCE SHRINKS TO SUBATOMIC LEVELS 🤏
Suddenly:
- That colleague who always volunteers you for extra projects? You’ll shut that down with grace and zero guilt.
- The family member who guilt-trips you every holiday? Their manipulation loses its power.
- The ‘friend’ who only calls when they need something? You’ll recognize that’s not friendship. Girl, Byeeeee! 👋
- The internal voice saying you’re not doing enough? It gets replaced by one that knows you ARE enough.
street cred
WHY I’M DIFFERENT. AND WHY THAT MATTERS.
L et me be clear: I’m not a coach who took a weekend certification and decided to dispense life advice. I believe when you’re working in such sacred space—helping women reclaim their lives—you better be properly equipped.
That’s why I’ve invested in becoming genuinely expert in this field:
- Master Certified Hypnotherapist (HMI, 2019) –The Hypnosis Motivation Institute holds the distinction of being America’s first nationally accredited school of Hypnotherapy. So, you are getting very sleepy… Jk. It doesn’t work like that.
- Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC designation, 2009) through The Coaches Training Institute, a well-known pioneer educational establishment in the field of coaching.
- Credentialed Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ACC designation, 2009) which is currently the only governing body that oversees the coaching profession. Fancy, right? It is.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management – I understand the corporate game because I’ve played it
If you aren’t impressed quite yet I am also certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP, 2020), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, 2020) which is commonly called Tapping, Handwriting Analysis (2020), and Inner Child Work (2020). So, yeah… I have a bevy of tools up my sleeve.
I have been a featured guest expert on over 140+ media outlets and have been recognized as one of the best women’s leadership coaches by Coachfoundation.com.
QUICK BIO FOR THE SKIMMERS
Amy Green Smith is an award-winning leadership coach, master hypnotherapist, and recovered corporate overachiever who helps Gen X (and Xennial) women leaders stop burning out and start living fully. Creator of the WORTHY.™ Method and former host of The Bold-Faced Truth podcast (2.5M downloads), Amy has spent two decades teaching women that their worth isn’t earned—it just is. When she’s not helping women flip the bird to burnout, she’s building Halloween animatronics with her husband of nearly 30 years or snuggling her Japanese Chin pups (affectionately called ‘The Double Chin’).
But credentials only tell part of the story.
What really matters?
I’ve guided thousands of women over two decades to stop feeling uniquely broken and start feeling WORTHY. AF.
Women who:
It’s about finally giving yourself permission to put down the things that were
never yours to carry.
Because here’s the truth:
You were never the problem. You’ve always been worthy. You’ve always been enough.
You just forgot for a while.
I’m here to help you remember.

WANNA KNOW WHAT WE STAND FOR?
AGS Company Values
GRACE + KINDNESS
We believe that the most polarizing of topics can be discussed without vitriol, blame, or acrimony. You can ask for a divorce, request an adult child to move out of the house, come out, or tell your fam you don’t believe in the religion you were raised in, and do it with the utmost grace and kindness. We believe in extreme compassion… including those who’s beliefs are diametrically opposed to yours. And, at the same time, we believe it is often necessary to boundary your ass off with some of these individuals. And, address your anger and upset. (Please see section on “Emotional Intelligence” [grin])
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
AGSoperates under the belief that if all individuals were taught emotional intelligence, our world would dramatically change for the better. We believe that our ability to emote, #catchfeels, and exercise vulnerability is directly related to the intimacy in our relationships. We also believe that the only way to truly grow is to acknowledge your emotional process. So, yes, we believe crying is good for you.
We also believe you are always, always allowed to feel what you feel. And, at the same time, you are always 100% responsible for your actions and behavior.
SPEAKING-THE-FUCK UP
The AGS brand is based on the tenant that you can speak your truth and do so from a place of grace + kindness. We believe that it is a fierce act of resistance and feminism to speak up for yourself in a society that tells you to always be polite and not “rock the boat” or some other oppressive idiom. We believe that it is the duty of those of us with privilege (in any form) to speak up for those whose voices have been silenced or dismissed. Now more than ever, we need women to speak their truth, own their power, and believe in their own intrinsic worth.
DOING BETTER, BEING BETTER
AGSstands for inclusion, openness, listening + learning, and a commitment to knowledge, education, and personal growth.
We stand with the BLM movement, support (and are part of) the LGBTQ+ community, champion science, believe women’s rights are human rights, support those with disabilities (whether visible or not) and hold that no human being is illegal.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe it is necessary to exercise radical personal responsibility in order to fully claim agency over one’s life. Ultimately, it is up to you to make the marked changes you desire for your life. And while we recognize that residing in a place of blame is rarely empowering, it is imperative to note that many things must change in the realm of equality and equity in order to give every individual the same opportunity to create their most ideal and fulfilled life.
IRREVERANCE + COURAGE
Perhaps one of the most challenging pieces of standing up for oneself is bucking against social norms and ideologies. Iconoclasts at heart, we believe challenging the status quo, social expectations, and stereotypes can pave the way toward equality and equity. With irreverence as a tenet, we believe a professional business can fucking say FUCK as fucking much as they fucking want. And we believe it takes extreme courage and bravery to fight for one’s own autonomy, freedom, and happiness.
