Welcome to the very first episode of Rising from the Ashes—a podcast about reclaiming faith, healing from trauma, and embracing the beauty of spiritual growth.
In this debut episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal journey through grief, childhood wounds, and the evolving nature of faith. You’ll hear raw reflections on the loss of loved ones, church trauma, and the struggle to reconcile pain with belief. This is for anyone learning to rebuild from rock bottom, still chasing grace, and rising—scarred but sacred.
In this episode, we discuss:
• How childhood experiences shaped Amanda’s spiritual identity
• Navigating the grief of losing close family members
• The tension between church culture and personal faith
• The hope and strength that comes through honest healing
