What if the most strategic move you could make right now isn’t to push harder… or quit altogether… but to pause on purpose? In this episode, I introduce a third option we don’t talk about enough: the intentional pause.

An intentional pause isn’t avoidance. It isn’t burnout. And it isn’t giving up. It has two key components:
A conscious decision to stop something.
A clear revisit date.

Without a revisit date, it can feel like quitting. With one, it becomes leadership.

I share why high performers don’t wait until they collapse to step back, how elite athletes model this beautifully, and how pausing can actually sharpen your strategy, protect your capacity, and prevent resentment from building.

If you’ve been feeling the urge to change something but don’t want to burn it all down this episode will help you lead yourself with intention instead of reaction.

Want support and accountability to make your intentional pause happen? I'd love to work with you:

This episode is built around a simple phrase that has stayed with me for years, one that’s shaped how I coach, how I teach, and how I live my life.

“Miss it and move on.”

I first heard this from one of my best friends (Megan Spears) after I missed a movement practice and immediately went into guilt mode. Instead of a lecture or a pep talk, she simply said those four words and we moved on. No shame. No overcorrection. No spiraling.

In this episode, I share where this mantra came from, why it’s been so impactful, and how it helps break the cycle of guilt and shame that keeps so many of us stuck after we miss a workout, a deadline, a habit, or a commitment we made to ourselves.

We talk about why the problem is almost never the first miss, how guilt destroys consistency, and why real accountability isn’t about beating yourself up, it’s about re-entering the present with intention.

If you’ve been hard on yourself for “falling off,” this episode is your permission to reset without judgment and keep moving forward.

Most of us are great at following through on a plan… as long as nothing changes.
But that’s not real life.

In this episode, I share a story that completely reframed how I think about limitations and what to do when life throws you off your plan. It’s the story of an artist, Phil Hansen, who developed a permanent tremor in his hand and was told by his doctor to “embrace the shake.” That simple phrase changed everything for him and it’s changed the way I think about progress, capacity, and follow-through.

I talk about why limitations are inevitable, why fighting them often makes things worse, and how subtraction, not addition, is often the most powerful path forward when your capacity changes.

If you’re navigating a season of change, grief, health challenges, caregiving, financial stress, or simply less time and energy than you expected, this episode will help you stop fighting reality and start working with it.

This episode came from a conversation I had with an entrepreneur who had a great year on paper but still felt scattered, overwhelmed, and reactive. So we went back to the basics.

In this episode, I walk you through the foundational shifts that help you move from constantly reacting to your life and business… to feeling proactive, grounded, and in control again. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just the things that actually work.

I share:
Why 90-day goals create more clarity than annual goals
How breaking goals into monthly and weekly rhythms changes everything
Why creating personal policies reduces overwhelm
How systems eliminate the “whack-a-mole” feeling
What to look for when things feel scattered even when things are going well

If you’re feeling reactive, this episode will help you slow things down, spot the patterns, and rebuild a rhythm that supports the life and business you’re trying to grow.

We hear it all the time: don’t quit, finish what you start, push through. And while grit absolutely matters, there’s a side of this conversation we don’t talk about enough, knowing when it’s time to stop.

In this episode, I share a personal story about intentionally breaking a 684-day habit streak and why that decision taught me more about progress than pushing ever could. I walk you through how to tell the difference between a commitment that deserves your grit and one that’s quietly draining your time, energy, and mental space.

If you’ve been holding onto something out of discipline, pride, or fear of “giving up,” this episode will help you make a clearer, more intentional decision without guilt or shame.

This episode was inspired by a single email and it made everything click. In this conversation, I break down what a real framework actually is, why frameworks are so powerful for follow-through, and how to tell the difference between a tested system and something that just sounds good online.

You’ll learn:
What a framework truly represents (and what it doesn’t)
Why frameworks must work for more than one person
How frameworks evolve over time and why that’s a good thing
Why frameworks act as a reset button when life gets messy
The difference between throwing spaghetti at the wall vs. following a pattern that works

I also share the umbrella framework that sits underneath everything I teach — the 3 C’s: Clarity, Capacity, and Commitment and explain how each one plays a role in achieving meaningful goals without burnout.

This episode is for the woman who feels conflicted about money, especially if you don’t need it… but you want it. In this honest, unscripted conversation, I share a moment from a recent Goal Design session that cracked open a pattern I've seen for years: women feeling guilt, shame, or embarrassment for wanting to make more money, even when their needs are already met.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why women are far more likely to feel guilty for wanting money
The difference between needing money and wanting money
Why wanting money is often about decision-making power, not greed
Why money itself is neutral and what you choose to do with it matters
A simple framework to define “enough” and “more” in a way that feels aligned

This is your permission slip to stop apologizing for your desires and start rewriting your money story with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: Why do I want to make more money?
And be 100% okay with whatever the answer is because it's your answer.

If you’ve been waiting for life to calm down (or for your plan to feel “perfect”) before taking action, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting. In this episode, I break down why progress does not require a perfect plan or a perfect life, and why waiting for either often keeps you stuck longer than necessary. Using real client stories, she shows how meaningful progress happens inside messy seasons, not after them.

You’ll hear:
Why even the best plans will never go 100% as expected
How to use a plan as a GPS, not a rigid rulebook
Real examples of progress made during burnout, grief, health challenges, and chaos
Why adjusting your path is not failure, it’s follow-through
How to take imperfect action this week instead of waiting

Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: “What is one imperfect step I can take this week toward the thing I care about without waiting for perfect?”

Happy New Year, my friend. If this is the year you want to actually follow through on your goals, this episode is for you. Research shows that 80% of people stop working toward their goals within two weeks and it’s not because they’re lazy or incapable.

You’ll learn:
Why week two is the danger zone for goals
How instant gratification, motivation, and overcommitting sabotage follow-through
Why “breaking promises to yourself” isn’t a character flaw
The first and most important step to getting back on track: release
A powerful mantra that makes progress possible again: miss it and move on

This episode sets the foundation for a year where you experience both progress and peace even when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Your Accountable Action:
Release the guilt around what hasn’t gone perfectly. Miss it. Move on. Adjust your plan and recommit with compassion for your current capacity.

Before you set your goals for the new year, there’s one step most women entrepreneurs skip, the reset. In this powerful conversation with systems & maternity leave strategist Alyson Caffrey, we unpack how to pause long enough to reconnect with your vision, your energy, and the woman you want to be in your business.

Together, we explore:
Why “more” isn’t always the answer (especially at year-end)
How to design systems around how you want to feel
What to look for when your business feels heavy or misaligned
How Aly created her most profitable year by simplifying, not scaling
The two questions every entrepreneur should ask before planning next year

This episode is the perfect invitation to slow down, zoom out, and intentionally design a business that supports you, before you decide what you’re chasing next.

Your Accountable Action:
 Before you write a single 2026 goal, ask yourself:
 1️⃣ Who do I want to be in my business next year?
 2️⃣ How do I want to feel as I grow?
 Then adjust one system, boundary, or rhythm to support that version of you.

When your outside matches your inside, your goals get clearer and your confidence naturally follows. In this episode of Accountable, I’m joined by brand strategist and stylist Ellie Steinbrink, founder of Style Decoded, for a conversation that goes far beyond clothes. We’re talking about how the way you show up (visually, energetically, and authentically) shapes your confidence, clarity, and success.

Ellie shares:
Why true style isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about alignment
How your wardrobe can become a reflection of your values and vision
The “Power Color” experiment that helps you rediscover what lights you up
How to build a brand that feels like you (not what everyone else expects)

If you’ve ever struggled to show up confidently because you’re unsure how to represent who you are or you’ve been playing small out of fear of standing out, this episode will remind you that alignment always leads to authenticity.

Your Accountable Action: Try Ellie’s Power Color & Style experiment. Look back at the last five times you showed up for something important, what colors or outfits made you feel most like yourself? That’s your clue.

What if the rules you’ve been following your whole life…aren’t actually yours?

The two questions she asks herself (and her clients) before making any change
How travel, family rhythms, and white space shaped her new definition of success

If you’ve ever felt stuck in old habits, corporate rules, or external labels that no longer fit, this episode will give you permission, and a process, for creating your own.

Money isn’t just about numbers, it’s about meaning, motivators, and mindset. In this powerful episode of Accountable, I sit down with Megan Hale, former psychotherapist turned fintech founder and creator of Dream Money™. Megan shares her personal journey through business pivots, debt, motherhood, and entrepreneurship and how it all shaped her groundbreaking work around money motivators and building a secure relationship with money.

We cover:
How to identify your personal money motivators (save, earn, get out of debt, give)
Why so many entrepreneurs chase arbitrary numbers (like 6 or 7 figures) and still feel unfulfilled
What it looks like to meet with your money daily (and how it can change your life)
How her Dream Money software makes financial strategy accessible for every entrepreneur

You're Invited! 
Megan and I are hosting a webinar to go deeper on this topic so you can get crystal clear on your numbers, consistently pay yourself and manage money with intention, not stress. It's free and happening on October 7th.

Welcome to Part 3 of our 3-part series on accountability. In this episode, I’m joined by my client Amy Bors, a successful business owner who manages nearly 200 employees and over 6,000 units in her property management company. On paper, everything looked incredible but inside, Amy felt buried by busywork, drowning in emails, and losing her joy for the work she once loved. That’s when she invested in paid accountability through coaching. 

In this episode, Amy shares:
Why she realized she couldn’t “do it all” anymore (and didn’t have to)
The small but powerful changes (like eating lunch!) that gave her back energy and focus
How paid accountability created space for joy, peace, and new growth in her life and business
The questions she asked herself before saying yes to investing in support

Welcome to Part 2 of our 3-part series on accountability. Sometimes, all it takes is saying your idea out loud to the right people. Today I’m joined by Nancy Moore, speaker, podcaster, and event host, whose peer accountability group helped her turn a “maybe someday” idea into 11 successful events attended by 459 people (and counting).

We talk about:
How peer accountability differs from personal and paid support
The moment Nancy’s idea shifted into action
Why your peer group needs to share your drive (even if they’re on different paths)
The simple, brave step you can take today to find your own peer support

Welcome to Part 1 of our 3-part series on accountability, inspired by my research (Ep. 43). In this first conversation, I’m joined by my friend and brand strategist, Danait Berhe, who shares how she leaned on personal accountability and AI during one of the biggest transitions of her life, returning to work after maternity leave.

Danait opens up about:
Why she turned to AI to get an honest view of her time and capacity
The ABC Week method she created to work with her energy instead of against it
How she stayed focused on what mattered most, even when she had just a few hours a week to work
Her litmus test for when it’s time to seek outside accountability

If you’ve ever wondered whether personal accountability can actually work, or how to make it work in a messy, real-life season, this episode will give you tools and encouragement to try it for yourself.

Most women believe they can hold themselves accountable but the data tells a different story. In my latest research with 116 women entrepreneurs, 81% said they prefer self-accountability tools like planners or lists…but only 6% said it actually works.

That’s what I call The Accountability Gap No One Talks About.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my research results that includes data related to personality assessments including the Enneagram, Myers Briggs, Four Tendencies and Human Design. Plus I share my brand new HERO Roles assessment that shows you how you naturally approach goals, where you get stuck, and the kind of support that actually helps you finish what you start.

You know that thing you keep saying you want to do…but haven’t done yet? This episode is for you. In this solo episode, I explore what it’s really costing you when you stay stuck: emotionally, energetically, and mentally. It’s not just about time. When you delay taking action on something you care about, it chips away at your confidence, drains your energy, and blocks your sense of fulfillment. This episode will help you get real with yourself about what you want, what's holding you back and if you're ready to take action or if it's time to let it go. 

Plus I share a teaser about the research I've been conducting! The results will be released on September 1 and those on my email list will be the first to know all about it. Jump on there at amandamckinney.com/free

What if the very words you use to describe yourself are holding you back? In this episode, therapist and entrepreneur Christy Pennison joins me for a powerful conversation about how labels—like "procrastinator" or "not business-minded"—can quietly limit our potential. We explore the importance of self-awareness, the difference between identity and habit, and how small, brave steps (plus the right support!) can help you rewrite the story you’re living by. If you're ready to release the labels that no longer serve you, this one’s for you.

You’ve likely heard someone say “just visualize it” but what does that even mean in the middle of a chaotic Tuesday or when you’re spinning out about your next big move? In this episode, executive coach Lauren Berlin breaks down the practice of visualization in a way that’s actually doable (and dare we say fun) for everyday life and entrepreneurship.

We talk about how to use visualization when you’re overwhelmed, why you’re probably already doing it without realizing it, and how to make it personal so it actually works for you. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the idea of “manifesting” but secretly wanted to feel more in flow, this conversation is the bridge between ambition and alignment.

In this special episode, I’m sharing a powerful message from my friend Assia Mahmood, originally aired on her podcast She Busy. It hit me so deeply that I asked if I could share it with you too.

Assia unpacks a phrase we all need in our back pocket: “I reserve the right to change my mind.” As entrepreneurs, we’re taught to follow through at all costs but what if honoring your original plan is actually getting in the way of your vision? This episode is your permission slip to let go of what’s not working, pivot when needed, and lead with clarity instead of ego. You don’t owe loyalty to the first plan—you owe it to your vision.

Bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Annie F. Downs joins me to share how she built a thriving business by staying in her zone of genius—and letting go of everything else. In this honest and energizing conversation, Annie pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to pursue big goals without burning out, from hiring before you feel ready to embracing radical accountability as a form of self-care.

We dive into how personality tools like the Enneagram influence team dynamics, why asking for help is a game-changer, and how to build a sustainable life around the things only you can do. Whether you're a solopreneur or building a team, this episode will challenge you to think differently about growth, boundaries, and the support you actually need.

Ever wonder why some accountability methods work for you while others don’t? Turns out, your personality type plays a big role in how you stay motivated and follow through on your goals!

If you’ve ever struggled to stay on track with your goals, this episode will help you align your accountability approach with your natural strengths—so success feels easier, not forced! Tune in to learn which bird best represents you and how to use it to your advantage. 🎙️🐦

What if rest isn’t the opposite of ambition—but the fuel for it? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Radical Joy Coach, Jordan Maney to talk about redefining rest, not as a luxury, but as a vital return of your energy, attention, and time. We explore what rest really looks like (hint: it’s not just naps), how to find your personal rhythm, and why rest can feel so scary for driven women. If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time to rest,” this one’s for you. Jordan shares simple, realistic ways to infuse rest into your routine—without losing momentum on your goals. Listen in to hear a  new definition of rest, permission to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and creative, doable rest ideas that fit into even the busiest day. You don’t need a full sabbatical to feel restored—you just need five minutes and a little intention.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to move forward even when you're afraid of messing up. We’ll talk about why fear means you care, how failure is actually part of success (hello, 16%!), and what to do if things go wrong. You'll also learn how to prep for worst-case scenarios like stumbling on your words, getting a tough question, or even falling—literally. Plus, I’ll walk you through how to run a simple “fault meeting” after the fact, so you can learn, recover, and keep going. You’re not alone in your fear—and you’re more ready than you think. Let’s do this!
