Spending a good chunk of her life avoiding feelings and actively numbing with alcohol and chaos, Amanda vulnerably shares how she’s finally found comfort in her emotions and has built trust with herself so she doesn’t have to run and hide anymore.

We chat about her memoir, Trust Yourself to Be All In: Safe to Love and Let Go and how the principles she outlines there have allowed her to not only find meaning in her suffering, but to create an inseverable love for herself. How…? Hint: By welcoming all of her emotions with patience and self-compassion.

If this lands for you, please send it to your friends and leave us a review on the top of our podcast page (it helps other women find it organically) 🙏🏻.

Listen for:

✨ Why we sometimes create chaos so we don’t have to be with our feelings

✨ People pleasing in order to show others she was a good person (so that she could then believe it too)

✨ How she continually chooses self-love over self-hate today

✨ The reason sitting with whatever comes up is a superpower and how it will transform you as a partner, mother and overall woman

✨ Why self-worth is the foundation for grieving healthfully
