I Love My Life. And I’ve Been Crying.
Yesterday at 10:00 AM

Lately, I’ve been crying. A lot. And when my hubby said, “I’d love to have a day without you crying,” my brain immediately created a whole story around what he meant.

Am I too much? Am I not allowed to cry? Can I just feel what I’m feeling?

Except… he didn’t actually say any of that.

In this mini solosode, I’m talking about separating what actually happened from the story we create around it—and allowing multiple truths to exist at the same time.

I can love my li...

You Know What You Want… So Why Aren’t You Living It?
09/17/2026

What if you already know what you want?

The relationship. The freedom. The money. The business. The home. The way you want to feel when you wake up in the morning.

And then comes the but…

“But I don’t know how.”

“But what if it doesn’t work?”

“But I’ve never done anything like this before.”

“But what if I get hurt again?”

In this solo episode, Amanda explores the story underneath the dream — and the words, fears, inherited beliefs and resistance that can quietl...

#6
09/02/2026

In this episode, Amanda sits down with Mark England, founder of Enlifted, for an unfiltered conversation about the words we use every day — and the stories those words are quietly keeping alive in us.

They dig into why "survivor" has become one of the most overused words in the personal growth space, and what actually happens in the body and mind when we build an identity around struggle instead of moving through it. Mark breaks down the science behind epigenetics and how language, emotion, and vibration shape physical expression across generations — long before we ever consciously choose our...


Self-Trust Begins in the Body
