Amy McInnes

As a mother of five, multi-business owner, couples counsellor, course creator and podcaster, I am a woman who knows a thing or two about building capacity.

In this episode, I’ll dive into what it means to build capacity as an individual and share tips and tricks for increasing capacity in your own life. I’ll talk about how building capacity can happen at mental, physical, emotional, and relational levels and share a story about what a recent accident taught me about my own capacity to take on more.

This episode will help shift your mindset about what’s possible and inspire you do more, accomplish more, and become the person you were meant to be.
