Amanda Phan, DD and Certified Coach is our guest this week.

For the past 19 years, Amanda has enjoyed restoring unhealthy teeth to a beautiful, functional and healthy mouth. She has realized that there is a tremendous amount of fear and anxiety that people have to face when they see dentists. She has helped and trained her patients to overcome those negative thoughts. The joy of helping patients to have more control of their feelings and emotions was just as great as the joy of practicing dentistry. However, the mind transformation can last a lifetime where as a tooth transformation may only last for a few years. Healthy and beautiful teeth can make you happier but it does not reduce your suffering as much as a transformed mind . With this realization and passion in helping people, she became a certified life coach and trainer.

Special Guest Amanda Franklin shares her journey as a new coach, sharing with our listeners her journey as a therapist, counselor and now life coach. Currently, her coaching focus is working with those who have been or may have been abused by organized religion / religious abuse. Shame and guilt recovery techniques are also discussed.
