96| I See You: Knowing Your Worth, Owning Your Gifts & Becoming More with Amy Kemp

Have you ever been so good at something that you assumed it couldn’t possibly be valuable because it comes naturally to you?Or spent so much time giving to everyone else that you barely recognize what’s left for you?In this episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa sits down with author, coach, and former direct sales leader Amy Kemp for a powerful conversation about leadership, purpose, knowing your worth, and learning to recognize the gifts that may have been hiding in plain sight.Amy shares how her years in direct sales helped her discover that she was a leader, and why learning her own leadership style changed everything. She and Melissa talk about identifying your “natural genius,” the things that feel easy to you but astonish everyone else, and why women often struggle to charge appropriately for the very things they do best.They also dive into Amy’s book, I See You, including the beautiful story behind its title and the woman Amy wrote it for: the woman everyone sees, but few people truly see.This conversation explores what happens when women give until there is nothing left, why Amy has a problem with the message behind The Giving Tree, and how small choices can help you begin finding yourself again.Melissa and Amy also get vulnerable about money, knowing your value, outgrowing old identities, navigating criticism, pursuing new dreams, and the “border bullies” who often appear when you’re stepping into something new.If you’ve been questioning your value, feeling depleted from giving too much, or sensing that you’re being called into a new season, this conversation is for you.TIMESTAMPS00:02 Meet Amy Kemp03:50 What direct sales taught Amy about leadership07:17 Discovering the kind of leader you are10:26 How to recognize your natural genius12:49 Why women undercharge for what comes easily16:00 Why women make themselves smaller18:03 The story behind I See You22:00 Why real human connection matters28:58 The problem with The Giving Tree32:17 What to do when you’ve given too much of yourself34:35 Making more without simply doing more38:56 The losses that can come with growth40:36 Melissa’s story of being criticized for charging for her work44:32 Learning to value your own contribution48:33 The “border bullies” that show up when you pursue a dream50:35 Where to connect with AmyCONNECT WITH AMYFree Habit Finder assessment: Visit Amy’s website to learn more and take the assessment - amykemp.comInstagram: @amykempincBook: I See You by Amy Kemp, available wherever books are sold and on AudibleFREE Life Evaluation Tool anchoredwithpurpose.com Anchored with Purpose on the Bible AppFREE Faith JournalAmy Kemp, I See You book, women’s leadership, women in business, natural genius, knowing your worth, purpose for women, women entrepreneurs, burnout in women, overgiving, self-worth, personal growth, direct sales leadership, women and money, finding your purpose, pursuing your dreams, meaningful connection, community for women, leadership development, Anchored with Purpose, Melissa Wilkinson
