Society has sold us many lies.

 That femininity = long hair. That beauty looks a certain way. That success looks a certain way. That our worth is somehow tied to how well we fit into these outdated, BS standards. But what happens when you challenge that?

In this episode of Thrive in Life, I’m sharing the story behind my decision to chop my hair off and why it became so much more than just a haircut. It was a radical act of reclaiming my own damn identity—beyond what the world tells me I should be.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How we unconsciously attach meaning to things like our appearance, money, success, and status
• The real reason stepping outside of societal norms feels so uncomfortable
• Why your identity is yours to define—whether that’s how you look, work, love, or live
• How you can start breaking free from conditioned ideas and start showing up as your true self

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the expectations of what you “should” be, this episode is your permission slip to say F-that and start living for YOU.

Tune in, tag me in your biggest takeaways on Instagram @amanda_kate_coach, and let’s keep the convo going.

Ever told yourself, "I could never do that"? Yeah, me too. Before I set my sights on completing a ½ Ironman triathlon, I fully believed I wasn’t capable. But here’s the thing—what you believe becomes your reality. You think you can’t? You’ll prove yourself right. You think you can? Well, you might just shock yourself BUT …. You don’t HAVE to believe in yourself before you get after your goals. Sometimes…. The belief comes after you do it! Like for me… I didn’t believe … but i was keen to prove myself wrong!

In this episode of Thrive In Life, I’m sharing my personal journey of pushing past self-doubt, challenging my own limitations, and proving to myself that I was stronger than I ever gave myself credit for.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The power of setting goals with the intention of proving yourself wrong.
• How to stop playing small and start stepping into your full potential.

This episode isn’t just about triathlons—it’s about YOU and all the ways you’re holding yourself back without even realizing it. You are capable of so much more than you think. The question is, are you willing to prove yourself wrong?

Let me know what big goal you’ve been doubting yourself on—tag me on Instagram @amanda_kate_coach  and let’s talk about how you can actually make it happen.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about domestic violence, abuse, and suicidal ideation, which may be distressing to some listeners. Please prioritize your well-being and listen with care. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to a trusted professional or contact a local support service.

In this powerful and raw episode, Tayla bravely opens up about her journey of healing and transformation after surviving years of domestic violence and multiple abusive relationships.

Tayla shares her struggles with mental and physical health, from feeling utterly lost and experiencing suicidal thoughts to finding the courage to rewrite her story. She delves into the life-changing impact of working with her unconscious mind, learning to process and regulate her emotions, and releasing attachments to her traumatic past.

Through her story, Tayla shows us what’s possible when we choose to confront our pain, embrace healing, and take control of our future. Her journey from feeling broken to building a bright vision for her life is a beacon of hope for anyone who has felt trapped in the aftermath of abuse.

If you or someone you know has experienced domestic violence, Tayla’s story is a reminder that healing is possible and that a brighter, happier future is within reach.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How working with the unconscious mind can unlock healing.
• The power of feeling and releasing emotions instead of suppressing them.
• Steps Tayla took to detach from her past and reclaim her power.
• Her transformation from despair to creating a big, bold vision for her future.

Listen in and discover how you, too, can find strength and hope through the darkest times.

WOAH! A few years ago (before this podcast existed) I ran a series of interviews called “An Inspired Story” where I interviewed current and past clients about their healing and transformation journey and I am low key PUMPED to share it here on the podcast FINALLY. 

Mel and I have been working together almost 12 months now and it has been the most beautiful and inspiring experience supporting and witnessing her transformation. 

This conversation talks to Mel’s experience with her mental, emotional and physical health and what has changed the past 12months that has truly transformed her life. 

Mel is a wife and mum to two, amputee and survivor of meningococcal. Mel uses art and her story of healing to empower others to tap into their own unique magic to live a fulfilled life.

I am so happy that this conversation holds a permanent place on the poddy, this woman is someone you just WANT to be around. 

Enjoy!

In today’s NO-BS episode, I’m breaking down why radical responsibility HAS to happen in order for us to create change. We’re getting into the harsh truth: that if you are stuck seeing or feeling like nothing is changing, you may be in victim mode (using excuses, blaming others or circumstances and waiting for things outside of you to change) and not even realize it! 

I’ll share the uncomfortable truths about where you’re giving away your power, and more importantly, how to reclaim it so you can finally create the health, happiness, and life you deserve. 

Key Highlights:

• How blame and victim mode are holding you back
• Why awareness alone doesn’t create change
• Practical steps to start owning your life and healing journey
• The difference between surviving and thriving, and how responsibility is the bridge

Ready to take back your power? Listen now and learn how to change your reality, starting with YOU.

Unresolved trauma wears many disguises. I mean... I never "thought" I had any trauma.... I just thought I was f$%^ed up 🤣

Trauma is sooooo mis-understood - you might think 

• But i had a great childhood 
• Nothing  ‘that bad’ happened to me
• Yeah but that happened so long ago, it’s not impacting me now 

If this is you… you must register for next weekend's free Trauma Tripping You Up? Masterclass. Register here. https://www.facebook.com/share/sdNtUQecpdhoKueT/

Problem is... we tend to glorify very 'common' traits, habits or behaviors that we think are ‘normal’, not knowing or realizing how much they are limiting us or holding us back ! Impacting our health, our happiness and relationships….. Which are in fact, survival based adaptations to our environmental circumstances. 

Stuff life 

• Overworking to the point of burnout 
• People pleasing 
• Having zero boundaries and not speaking up 
• ‘Faking it’ to fit in or feeling like a complete imposter that we hide our gifts 
• Self sabotaging behaviors 
• Attachment styles in relationships 
• Self loathing 
• Anxious overwhelm
• Depression
• Emotional eating and addictive behaviors 

In this episode I dive deeper into understanding that we are all on a trauma spectrum! And at the roots of the shit we want to change in life… is unhelpful coping adaptations, that in order for us to change…. We must attend to! !

Register for next weekend's free Trauma Tripping You Up? Masterclass August 31st 9am. Register here. https://www.facebook.com/share/sdNtUQecpdhoKueT/

I took a hiatus…. And sometimes we NEED to do this. So I am BACK and dropping some truths on breaking these ‘bad’ patterns or habits we can’t seem to shake.

I share with you HOW you can get to the bottom of the patterns or habits you have so you can change them. 

Understanding that WE create these patterns or behaviors as an adaptation, response to our experience. Essentially, we created them because they serve us in some way. 

Tune in to today's episode and connect to how your shitty habits actually serve you! When you connect to that, you can now focus on changing the ACTUAL problem, rather than just trying to change the behavior itself.
