In this episode, we explore the fascinating connection between brain science and political beliefs—and how the balance between fear and empathy shapes not only our worldview but our relationships, boundaries, and ability to show up with compassion.

You’ll learn about two key parts of the brain:

• The amygdala—our built-in alarm system, responsible for detecting threats and driving fear-based responses
• The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)—our seat of empathy, emotional regulation, and capacity to hold nuance

Drawing from neuroscience, spirituality, and real-life experience, Amanda discusses:

• How conservatives and liberals show different brain activity patterns
• What happens when either fear or empathy dominates our nervous system
• Why both protection and compassion are essential for healing and leadership
• A personal story about how her marriage reflects this brain-based yin-yang dynamic
• Practical tools to balance your inner protector and your inner healer

🌬️ Plus: Amanda guides you through a powerful 10-minute meditation to harmonize your brain, body, and energy—perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or emotionally depleted.

🌀 Whether you're someone who leads with your heart or someone who always scans for safety—this episode will help you integrate both parts of yourself, so you can show up with grounded compassion in an unsteady world.

Journal Prompts:

Where in your life do you lead too much with fear? Where do you lead too much with softness? What would balance look like for you—today, right now?

✨ Episode Description:
You’ve seen the words—energy healing, mentorship, sacred space—but what does it actually mean to work with me?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I do, how I do it, and why it goes far beyond a typical yoga class or massage session. I walk you through the journey many of my clients experience—whether it’s on the table, in the studio, or deep in a 1:1 mentorship. We talk about soul remembering, past life revelations, nervous system healing, and the truth that: you are the healer you’ve been waiting for.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, burnt out from over-giving, or weighed down by emotion you can’t quite name—this episode is for you. And if you’re simply curious about how my work has evolved into something I now call bioemotional healing, you’ll learn exactly what that means.

🔮 Topics Covered:

• What energy work really is (and how I use it)
• How spiritual and nervous system healing are deeply connected
• Why massage and bodywork are completely different when infused with intention
• What a session with me actually looks and feels like
• How past lives and Akashic records show up in my sessions
• The truth about “fairness,” soul contracts, and the metaphor of life as an Uno game
• My story of growing from massage therapist to energetic mentor
• How COVID transformed my path (and deepened my spiritual gifts)

📚 Mentioned:

• Same Soul, Many Bodies by Dr. Brian Weiss
• Case study: George Skulnick’s journey of healing anger through past life regression
• The AMTA retreat quote that forever changed how I see healing: “Massaging the muscles is only 50% of the job. The energy is the other 50%.”

🧘‍♀️ In This Episode, I Share:

• How I blend massage, Reiki, intuitive coaching, and spiritual work
• Why my clients often feel “high on their own supply” after sessions
• How I mentor others through Time Alignment and energy integration
• What led me to open my new healing and yoga studio in Southern NH
• The unique ways I work with clients—individually and in group settings

🌱 Current Offerings:

• Sacred Stillness (Yin + Restorative Yoga)
• Tarot Tuesdays & themed studio nights
• Time Alignment Mentorship — small group coaching for 7 women
• Full Moon Healing Circles
• 1:1 Sessions: Massage, energy work, intuitive coaching

💬 Episode Summary:

In this episode of That’s What She Said, we’re diving into the heart of how to stay grounded, connected, and clear in the midst of political chaos. When the world feels heavy and overwhelming, how do we resist burnout while continuing to show up for what matters?

I’ll talk about why rest is not a retreat from the work—but a vital part of it, and how grounding practices like yoga, meditation, and nature walks can bring you back to center. We’ll also explore the emotional and energetic weight we carry during turbulent times, and how practices like therapy, breathwork, EMDR, writing, massage, Reiki, and energy healing can help you reclaim your power and refocus your energy with intention.

This episode is your permission slip to pause, feel, and root down—so you can rise back up stronger, softer, and more whole.

🧘‍♀️ Topics We Cover:

• The nervous system’s response to political stress and collective trauma
• The importance of rest as a radical, revolutionary act
• Grounding practices to reset your energy (yoga, breathwork, walking meditation, and more)
• How to send healing intentions to all beings—including those we disagree with
• Tools to reclaim your power: therapy, energy work, EMDR, journaling, and talk therapy
• Why emotional release during bodywork is part of deep, embodied healing
• How presence, intention, and love can ripple outward and become a form of activism
• Intuitive writing journal prompt. Set timer for 3 mins, start with this sentence and don't stop writing until the buzzer goes off "I am stepping into the version of myself that is"

The Jim Crow era may be history, but its tactics are alive and well—evolving into new forms of control, division, and public harm. In this episode, I break down the eerie parallels between segregationist propaganda, the MAGA movement, and the rise of MAHA (Make America Healthy Again)—a far-right health and wellness faction spreading dangerous disinformation under the guise of “freedom.”

From voter suppression to the resurgence of preventable diseases like measles, I uncover how history is repeating itself. How did Jim Crow laws manipulate public health narratives? How is MAGA weaponizing wellness culture to erode trust in science? And what does this mean for the future of democracy and public health?

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how the past, present, and future are braided together—and why we must act before it’s too late.

What We Cover in This Episode:
✅ How the Jim Crow era used misinformation to control and oppress communities
✅ The dangerous evolution of MAGA into the health and wellness space
✅ MAHA’s role in spreading anti-science rhetoric and causing real harm
✅ The resurgence of measles and other preventable diseases
✅ How history warns us about the consequences of unchecked disinformation
✅ Steps we can take to stop this cycle before it’s too late

In episode 9 Kim and I talk about the hurtles of mental health and not receiving the care and help needed to support through the transition through a mental health breakdown. This episode holds a special place in my heart because all too often women are made to believe we are exaggerating our mental health when in reality we are caring the mental and emotional heal of so many.
