FIM 67: Intuition & Self Advocacy: How to Trust Your Gut and Speak Up, with Amanda Borden


Listen Later

Learning how to trust your gut can completely change your life. 


This week host Amanda Haro is joined by Amanda Borden, who shares her life story of learning to trust her intuition in order to advocate for herself and later, her kids.

She shares:

  • Her unique career path as a multi-passionate entrepreneur

  • Her journey of overcoming an abusive childhood & domestic violence

  • Her mental health journey, including her decision to stop taking medication and use alternative practices to get herself healthy

  • Going from being a single young mom to learning how to co-parent with a partner

  • But every step of her journey was only possible because she kept making the choice to go IN instead of going OUT; to trust her gut and her intuition. Cultivating a strong sense of self gave her the confidence to advocate for herself not only in her mental health journey but in every other facet of her life.


    Because when we start improving ourselves in one area, it has a beautiful butterfly effect that touches all other areas of our life.
