In this episode, Amanda shares how the gifts of sobriety and the ongoing work behind them have given her a life she never imagined.  From chickens to a new baby at 40, it's not what was on her vision board, but it's a life beyond her wildest dreams.

In this honest episode, Amanda shares how female friendships, deep acceptance, and imperfect love have helped her slowly rewrite the story of her own worth.  From downplaying compliments to letting love in, she reflects on how the love of others planted the first seeds of self-love and how that changed the way she now shows up for others.  

This one's for anyone who's still learning to stay.  Still learning to soften.  Still in the middle of it.

This week, Amanda sits down with her friend, Jaci, to talk about what it really looks like to keep showing up for yourself after relapse.  Her road hasn't been simple or straight.  She has faced relapses, struggled with an eating disorder, and has been working on her mental health.  

In this conversation, Jaci shares what she's learned through starting over, what has helped her stay grounded this time, and what hasn't. If you're in the middle of something similar or looking for hope, you'll find that and a whole lot of honesty here.

You've stopped hiding.  You've told the truth.  You're trying to build something new, but the middle is still messy.  This episode is about what to do when you hit the tough times in the middle, when you want to quit, and when you're tempted to go back to the things that once numbed the pain.  These are the tools Amanda used to get through without giving up, and she is sharing them with you now, too.

We don't hide things we're proud of.  We hide the things we're ashamed of, whether it's drinking, eating, sex, shopping, or staying in toxic relationships.  In this episode, Amanda shares stories from her past and explores the power of naming what we're doing in secret and asking the bigger question: not "Am I really that bad?" but "Is what I'm doing actually helping me feel better?"

Because often, the clarity only comes after we stop the behavior.  And that messy in-between space? That's where the real work begins.

In this kickoff episode, Amanda shares her story: how getting sober, navigating parenting, and rebuilding her life led her to this exact moment: the middle.

From side-by-side transformations on social media to the quiet, unseen wins of recovery, she breaks down what real growth actually looks like (messy, non-linear, and deeply human).

If you've ever compared your life to someone else's "after" and wondered why your middle feels like a failure, this one's for you.

Expect raw truth, humor, reflection, and a reminder that the middle matters... and so do you.
