Building Confidence

Amanda chats with Julie Anna Melilli, who is a Certified Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner as well as a Life Code Matrix Navigator. Julie Anna offers insight into The Emotion Code, an energy healing technique she uses with her clients to help identify and release trapped negative energies. People so often store trapped emotions in the body for years, leading to problems in relationships, challenges at work, and physical - even chronic - pain. She describes how she identifies and releases these emotions through muscle testing, helping people to let go of physical and emotional pain. Julie Anna also talks about how our bodies may be holding onto pain from previous generations.

Amanda had several sessions with Julie Anna in the month before the podcast and shares about this powerful and fascinating healing experience.

Julie Anna's work with The Emotion Code and another transformative modality, the Life Code Matrix, can be done from anywhere. She works remotely to help clients all over the country. And she even offers twenty-minute sessions for $20 for new clients to get a better sense of her work.

Amanda speaks with Jenny Scholl, Impact Consultant, Alignment Specialist, and world traveler. Since she was a little girl, Jenny has traveled to places like Mexico, Cambodia, and Greece, building houses and volunteering with her family and community. She uses the practical skills and social and spiritual values she was taught as a kid to make the world a better place than she found it. Her love for giving back helped her build her consulting business, where she helps nonprofits and mission based organizations increase their impact they have on the world. But, it wasn't always a smooth road. Jenny opens up about starting a nonprofit with a friend, and the surprising toll it took on her. She goes deep into the topic of burnout, and offers insight for likeminded listeners on how to look out for yourself, and burn bright - not burn out.

Amanda chats with Whitney Otto, an Executive Performance Coach, trained therapist, and world champion athlete. Whitney shares about the challenges she faced as a competitor, her relationship with her body, and how she shifted from striving to be enough to deeper self-acceptance. Today, Whitney combines her passion for psychology and goal attainment into high-performance coaching rooted in connection, honesty, humor, experimentation, curiosity, and celebration.

Amanda and Whitney get giddy about Queer Eye and Stitch Fix, and unpack how to find the sweet spot of taking care of yourself and your appearance without becoming consumed and tormented by unhelpful and unrealistic cultural pressure.

Whitney began her athletic career as a member of the Brown University rowing team. She made her way all the way to the Olympics in 2000. While she was very successful in her athletic endeavors, Whitney discusses the toll it took on her body and the pressures she felt to make weight and constantly be working towards the next goal. Her experiences as a therapist and now, as a coach, have allowed her to welcome a love and appreciation for herself and the present moment. She channels her skills, positivity, and self-assurance into her work and encourages her clients to reach similar heights of awareness and success.

In this first episode of 2020, Amanda interviews Jessie Medina, social entrepreneur, podcaster, brand consultant, speaker, and avid advocate for female empowerment. Jessie talks about extricating herself from a toxic work environment and striking out on her own. She shares how she used confidence to overcome her own fear and the doubts of those around her who thought her entrepreneurial vision was "crazy". Jessie also describes how a very negative situation ended up mysteriously helping her to fulfill her dream of opening a feminine co-working and event space.

This new space, located in downtown San Diego, is named FEMXQuarters. FEMX stands for Female Empowerment Movement & Experiences. It is the first Latina founded co-working space on the west coast.

FEMxQuarters is a beautiful and safe home for a powerful community of entrepreneurs and offers events and classes like yoga, salsa dancing, acting, public speaking and vision board workshops, and so much more. Jessie discusses how rewarding this adventure has been thus far and the learning curves of communicating with contractors and knowing just how much toilet paper to buy every week. She's thrilled to see members connect and thrive.
