breaking news💥you count!

and i'm taking NEW run clients (and i'm taking 🍁 photos...)

Welcome to a (tough) love note, a weekly rundown by Amanda Katz (me) to help you move, feel, grow & rewire your mind for a stronger you. Okay you’ll also laugh. Basically, I like to make people believe in themselves. If you like this newsletter, share it with a friend...specifically one you like. While you’re at it, tag or DM me @amanda_katzz on the ‘gram and tell me what you loved reading this week!

i woke up feeling renewed air in my lungs. if you live in nyc, perhaps you get what i mean. last week, my (tough) love note started with a seemingly simple concept: use your experiences and what you've learned to grow into the kind of person you want to be. this takes time. this week served as a reminder that faith is kept alive by patience and hard work. that those who choose to live in fear tire easily. that those who have anger in their bellies and hate in their hearts must actively choose differently.
stay patient but do the work.
it all counts; it just takes time.
let’s do this.

…I mean it!

a (tough) love note, coach

a lotta talk on this thing called “empathy.”
when do we use it? to deepen how we understand those who cross our paths.
when don’t we use it? as a chance to change someone else or ourselves.
the world is a lonely place for those who only work for themselves.
that’s not you; you wouldn’t be here if you lived there.
here for you.
