The Rest Revolution - Voices From the Front Lines
This is a special series of the podcast focused on my new book, The Rest Revolution: How to Reclaim Your Rhythm and Conquer Burnout When Overworking Has Become the Norm, which comes out on November 13th.
I’m thrilled to share this book with you because I believe it’s my most important work yet. In The Rest Revolution, I explore how we’ve been conditioned to treat ourselves like machines and how this mindset leads to burnout, exhaustion, and a disconnection from our true selves.
The Rest Revolution isn’t just about rest; it’s about the great realignment that is happening in this country. People are slowly waking up to the idea that good lives require more than work and achievement. Good lives require you getting in alignment with the purposeful work, key relationships, and energizing activities that are most important to you.
I interview high achieving professionals, psychologists, sociologists, and medical experts on how we can you can reclaim your humanity, find more balance, and choose to live and work in a way that truly aligns with your purpose. It’s about breaking free from the toxic cycle of overwork and finding a new, sustainable way forward. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on fumes or just going through the motions, this book is for you.
If you love this podcast, I know you’ll love the book. The Rest Revolution will be available on November 12th from all major booksellers, and you can visit www.therestrevolutionbook.com to preorder your copy now. I can’t wait for you to read it.

During our conversation they shared with me a perspective about how the beliefs you have are the seeds that create your reality. What limiting beliefs do you have about yourself, your income, your relationships or your business? What you believe will manifest! Enjoy the podcast.

How do you continuously attract GAME CHANGING opportunities to your brand? That's the question I asked startup investor and advisor Lauren Maillian.
Lauren's entrepreneurial journey is an inspiration - after starting her first business - a vineyard and winery at the age of 19, Lauren started Luxury Market Branding, a boutique branding agency and went on to eventually become an investor counting tech startups like Levo League among her portfolio. In 2014, all before the tender age of 30, Lauren authored a business memoir "The Path Redefined" which became a bestseller.
She currently can be found each week on Oxygen on the new business show "Quit Your Day Job" which is being hailed as a "Shark Tank" meets "The Profit" for women entrepreneurs.
I caught up with Lauren in NYC to talk opportunities - more importantly how she continues to attract opportunity after opportunity in such a fickle entertainment and media world. We discussed how her work ethic coupled with a relationship savvy has helped her attract game changing opportunity after game changing opportunity.
I am inspired by Lauren as a mom, business woman and friend and am delighted to share this conversation with you. Follow Lauren on social media @LaurenMaillian (Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat) and visit her online at http://www.laurenmaillian.com

[Ep. 13] How to rewrite the internal narrative that is holding you back
Monday Jan 18, 2016
Monday Jan 18, 2016
http://www.amandamillerlittlejohn.com We talk a lot about external work - what we can do to build our brands and grow our reach and awareness in the world.
But what if your hurdles to getting to the next level have nothing to do with the world, but everything to do with what's going on inside? What happens when how you perceive yourself doesn't measure up to how the world sees you? How do you make sure that your own view of yourself is accurate, particularly if you're someone who's successfully built your brand, garnered media attention, won awards and the like?
We switched up the pace today and in this interview with digital influencer Andre Blackman, we talked about success addiction, learning to take a pause, and the mindset work that is necessary for entrepreneurs. During this thought provoking conversation, we try to uncover how to rewrite the internal narrative that may be holding you back.

[Ep. 11] How to Recognize Your Calling

Thursday Dec 03, 2015
http://www.amandamillerlittlejohn.com/podcast
You have a calling, but how exactly do you identify it? Chances are, your calling is so natural to you, so CLOSE to you that you can't even see it.
If you're like most people I know, you find it easy to see other people's calling, gifts, talents and strengths but much harder to see your own. You have a knack for spotting someone else's genius, but you can't seem to conjure up those same insights for yourself.
Why? Because it's hard, I'd dare say IMPOSSIBLE, to see oneself clearly without someone else serving as a mirror.
In this week's episode, I share how I got closer to my own calling, finally began to recognize my genius for what it was, and how you can do the same.
