My husband, Dave, was diagnosed with an autism spectrum condition five years into our marriage. Unlike countless couples with a less-than-happy outcome - with or without the challenges of neurodiversity - we chose to forge a happier life together. Grab a coffee, it's time for some thought work.
Fresh off Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour, we reflect on our takeaways from spending a whole day with the Grand Dame of Good Living.
In this episode, we start with the most important thing you’ll ever need to know: YOU ARE ENOUGH RIGHT NOW. We share how the need for “proof” keeps people stuck – and how tuning into intuition can help. And we offer a few ways we’ve learned to distinguish that intuitive nudge from fear.

Continuing our conversation from episode one, we discuss the story Oprah shared on stage about her own struggle with forgiveness – and as self-proclaimed fangirls, it’s one we’d never heard before!
Her message reinforces the value and importance of learningthepivot: “Why is this happening to me?” to “This is happening FOR me.”
We explore how this one shift dramatically changes the stories we tell ourselves, and why it is essential to constantly be on the prowl for what’s working in our lives.
And we each share our favorite way to build muscle memory around the good things happening!

In this episode, we cut straight to the chase and dissect why our challenges are almost never about “someone else” – and how self-care practices (they’re not what you think!) can profoundly change our lives.
We share the daily practice we have in common with Oprah, and how it truly is the secret to EVERYTHING – even if we each approach it differently.
We talk about a craving people have but so often resist – FREE TIME.
And we explore why we believe no-structure days are the necessary ingredient to productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.

As our conversation continues, we bring our 3 favorite topics to the table: intention, intuition, and the power of showing up “even when.”
We give you the scoop on how we actually put our intentions “out there.” (It’s a ritual that is equally simple as it successful!)
We dive into the necessity of giving any mindful practice – like gratitude or intention setting – its own distinct space.
And we explore why instant gratification can be misleading, and where we see transformation happen most often!
Oh, and the cherry on top? We tell you the one thing we (and Oprah!) know won’t fail you…

As we wrap our first season, we weigh in on our approaches for dealing with challenges (mindset work for Kristen / Feng Shui for Amanda).
We talk about self-doubt and how cultivating trust in our choices quiets it.
We chat even more about intuition and intention, and why both are an all-access pass to the wisdom already within you.
And we compare our takeaways from a meditative exercise Oprah provided her 2020 Vision Tour crowd – and the ripple effect it created.
*A BIG thanks to The Ginger Man (located at The Shops of Legacy in Plano, Texas) for hosting Season One of our podcast. You were everything we hoped for when we dreamed up this conversation, and you’ve set a very high bar for future season locales!

THIS EPISODE IS SO AWESOME, you’re going to want a notebook and pen!
Annie and Katie (Amanda’s daughters) join the conversation, and they’re sharing whip-smart advice on pursuing a creative life.
We hear their unique perspective on the creative process + why writer’s block (or resistance) is a GOOD thing + how to let more happiness into your life.
This convo from two filmmakers-in-the-making does not disappoint!
This is what happens when 2 besties...a life coach and a feng shui... expert walk into a bar: unfiltered conversations, deep insights, lots of laughing and lots to think about.
In Season 1, Kristen and Amanda have just finished spending a day with Oprah (and 17,000 others) and are reflecting on their takeaways. Topics discussed include intuition, creativity, and more.
