What if the patterns running your life didn't start with you?

In this conversation, I sit down with Uplifted alum Amy Hunter to talk about the deeper work of somatic coaching, recovery, and healing family-of-origin patterns. Amy has taken multiple trainings inside the Uplifted ecosystem — including 200-hour, 300-hour, Kundalini, Embodied Yoga Life Coaching, and most recently the AI course — and now brings all of that into her own coaching practice.

Together, we explore what it looks like to move from self-awareness into real change.

In this episode, we cover:

🔹 How somatic coaching helps uncover family patterns that still shape your life

🔹 The connection between people pleasing, self-abandonment, and personal power

🔹 Amy's six pillars of self-recovery and how they relate to the chakras

🔹 Why self-care is foundational if you want to change old patterns

🔹 A simple in-the-moment tool — Amy's PIVOT process — for catching yourself and choosing differently

If you've ever felt like you know your patterns intellectually but still keep repeating them, this episode is such a beautiful reminder that real change happens when awareness moves into the body.
