Amy Kemp: Do Less, Be More - Holistic Success

In this week’s episode ofConversations with Carroll, host Carroll Patrizi welcomed strategic business leader and habit-transformation expert Amy Kemp for a deeply resonant discussion on intentional living, boundaries, and redefining success. Carroll opened with gratitude for Amy’s presence, acknowledging the importance of sharing stories that inspire reflection and growth. From the very beginning, Amy offered her signature wisdom: the call to “do less and be more.” She emphasized the ongoing, imperfect journey of slowing down enough to make deliberate decisions—an hour-by-hour practice she models and teaches.

As their conversation deepened, Amy shared her countercultural approach to business leadership: creating significant impact without sacrificing the quality of her life, family, or health. She spoke candidly about experiences that tried to pull her into hustle culture and how she has learned to stand firm in her values. A standout moment came when she described turning down a highly aligned client whose availability violated her essential boundaries. Though it meant walking away from considerable income, Amy chose integrity over urgency—a choice Carroll celebrated as both courageous and instructive. Together, they explored the idea that boundaries are not only about protecting ourselves from others but also about protecting ourselves from our own ambition. Amy’s message was clear: what we define as “success” must be shaped intentionally, not inherited from the world around us.

Before closing, Amy offered a glimpse into her transformational work with women through her group programs and one-on-one sessions. Using a powerful assessment tool called the Habit Finder, she helps clients identify subconscious thinking patterns that once protected them but now hinder progress. Her groups—small, diverse, and centered around the lunch hour—are designed for women who are ready to quiet the mental noise, create what they were put here to create, and grow their influence without working more hours. Carroll closed the conversation with heartfelt appreciation, celebrating Amy’s integrity, wisdom, and service. Their time together was a reminder that when we honor our boundaries, we honor our calling—and we make space for a richer, more meaningful life.
