  • Cultivating Self-Love: The Skill Most People Never Learn

    Cultivating Self-Love: The Skill Most People Never Learn
    Feb 16 2026
    In this February episode of Healthy AF, Amy Chang dives into the heart of self-love — and why it’s simple in theory but hard in practice. Real self-love isn’t perfection or constant positivity. It’s the ability to see yourself clearly, accept what you find, and make empowered choices from a place of worth. Amy explores how self-awareness and acceptance require a safe, supportive container — not isolation — and why many people get stuck in all-or-nothing thinking. Through relatable coaching examples, she shows how hidden beliefs shape habits and how curiosity and compassion open the door to change. If you’ve ever felt caught between loving yourself and wanting to grow, this episode offers a more spacious, sustainable path forward.

  • Healthy AF: Love in Action: Serving from Love, Not Obligation

    Healthy AF: Love in Action: Serving from Love, Not Obligation
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode of Healthy AF, Amy Chang explores service as an expression of love — not obligation, guilt, or pressure.

    So many of us give endlessly to others while neglecting ourselves. Amy invites you to look at where and how you serve — at home, at work, and in your community — and ask what’s really motivating that service. Through a personal story, she shows how love creates sustainable, meaningful service, even when it’s uncomfortable.

    The conversation then turns inward: How do you serve yourself? From small daily habits to big boundary-setting moments, self-service can be a powerful act of love. If you’re tired of doing everything because you “should,” this episode offers a gentler, more honest way forward.

    ✨ Reflection questions: Where am I serving from love — and where from obligation? How do I serve myself in ways that truly nourish me? What might I let go of if it isn’t rooted in care?

  • Healthy AF Starts with Love: The Missing Motivation for Lasting Habits

    Healthy AF Starts with Love: The Missing Motivation for Lasting Habits
    Feb 2 2026
    February is all about love — but not just the romantic kind. In this episode of Healthy AF, health coach Amy explores a powerful question: What if love — not fear, shame, or pressure — became the reason you take care of yourself? So many high-achievers are running on empty, caring for everyone else at home, at work, and in their communities… while their own needs fall to the bottom of the list. Health habits often come from a place of “I should,” “I have to,” or “I can’t keep living like this.” But those motivations burn out fast. Amy introduces a different foundation: love as a sustainable motivator. Self-love, service, and compassion can fuel the daily habits that actually stick — from how you eat and sleep to how you set boundaries and manage your energy. She shares a personal example of shifting from fear-based health goals to love-based ones, and why that mindset change makes healthy behaviors feel supportive instead of punishing. This episode also kicks off February’s theme, inviting you to notice:
    • What’s really driving your routines and decisions
    • Whether your habits are rooted in care or criticism
    • How love can make hard things feel lighter and more sustainable
    If you’re successful on paper but exhausted in real life… if you’re constantly showing up for others but struggling to show up for yourself… this conversation is your permission slip to build health from a place of kindness instead of pressure. ✨ Your homework this week: Start looking at your daily habits and ask, “Is love at the root of this — or something less sustainable like fear?” Because Healthy AF doesn’t start with restriction. It starts with love. Connect with Amy here!
