February 18, 2026EP 141: When Change Messes with Your Identity
Learn how major life changes can quietly reshape our identity and confidence. Through a heartfelt story about transitioning from running a marketing agency to a slower, home-centered season of life, this conversation highlights how our giftings don’t disappear when environments change, they simply show up differently. It’s an invitation to stop living in the past or waiting for the future and start fully waking up to the life you’re living right now.
Key Takeaways:
Big life transitions can make you question who you are, but your core giftings remain
Slower seasons don’t mean you’re becoming smaller or less impactful
Living in “I’ll be happy when…” keeps you from experiencing the present
Your identity isn’t tied to a role, title, or season
This chapter of your life still matters and is shaping you for what’s ahead

February 04, 2026EP 140: Are You Fixing The Wrong Problem? Here's Why You Feel Stuck
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re not trying hard enough, but because you’re trying to fix the wrong problem? Through personal experience and client stories, you’ll learn how patterns that once served you can quietly hold you back in new seasons of life, and how real change begins when you get curious about what’s underneath your struggles.
Key Takeaways
You can name a problem without identifying the true root of it, but growth happens when you go deeper.
Many mindset struggles are actually old brain patterns that no longer fit your current season.
Ask: What is this pattern trying to do for me, and what would actually serve me now?
Rewiring your thinking is essential to solving the real problem.

January 27, 2026EP 139: How To Make An Intentional Pivot
Life doesn’t always cooperate with our best plans. Whether it’s snow days, sickness, disrupted routines, or unexpected responsibilities, there are moments when we’re forced to pivot, even when we didn’t choose to. In this episode, we talk about how to pivot intentionally so that a changed plan doesn’t have to mean a ruined day. You’ll learn how to take back control, redefine success, and stay aligned with what matters most in your real, right-now life.
Key Takeaways
Decide what actually matters today. When plans change, choose your top three priorities based on reality, not on what you wished the day looked like.
Release expectations and face reality. Much of our frustration comes from holding onto how we thought the day would go instead of adjusting to how it actually is.
Define success for the day. On pivot days, success might look like staying patient, keeping everyone regulated, or simply showing up with intention.

January 13, 2026 EP 138: The Gentle Reset: Adjust, Don't Abandon Your Goals
In the final episode of the Gentle Reset New Year’s Series, we look at what happens when real life starts interfering with our goals. As the initial momentum of the new year fades, this episode offers practical ways to work with obstacles instead of turning against yourself, so you can keep moving forward in a way that actually fits your life.
Key Takeaways:
Obstacles are not personal failures. Feeling stuck or slowed down is often a response to real-life stress and changing capacity, not a lack of discipline or motivation.
Redefine consistency. Consistency doesn’t have to look the same every day. Small efforts still count, and missing a day doesn’t mean starting over.
Stop comparing and stay in your lane. Your goals are meant to support your life, not measure up to what others are doing.
See setbacks as information. Setbacks usually point to a mismatch between expectations and reality and signal where adjustments are needed.

January 07, 2026 EP 137: The Gentle Reset: Change Your Patterns
In the third episode of the Gentle Reset New Year’s series, we explore why old patterns are so hard to break and how to change them without force, shame, or burnout. Instead of "just trying harder," this conversation invites a gentler, brain-based approach that creates real, lasting change through awareness, safety, and small shifts.
Key Takeaways:
Patterns are automatic, learned responses, not personal flaws or failures.
Trying harder, using shame, or applying pressure often keeps patterns stuck by activating survival mode.
The first step to change is noticing patterns without judgment, not stopping them immediately.
Pausing and becoming aware of what’s happening around you, to you, and within you creates space for choice.
Real change happens through gentle repetition while staying regulated, not through force or perfection.

December 31, 2025 EP 136: The Gentle Reset: You’re Not Inconsistent. You’re Overloaded.
This is the second episode of The Gentle Reset New Year's series. Amanda shares why knowing what to do doesn’t always lead to doing it when it comes to goal setting. The problem isn’t inconsistency or lack of discipline, it’s capacity. When the nervous system is overloaded by constant input, pressure, and lack of integration, follow-through naturally drops. This episode reframes inconsistency as a signal of overload and teaches how to gently rebuild capacity, so your life can actually support the goals and habits you want to create.
Key Takeaways:
Inconsistency is often a capacity issue, not a character flaw
Your nervous system needs regulation before it can support change
Constant input without integration shrinks your ability to follow through
Learning requires absorption, repetition, and space...not just exposure

December 26, 2025 EP 135: The Gentle Reset: Why New Year’s Goals Fail (and Why Gentle Changes Work)
We’re kicking off the new year by breaking free from the pressure and burnout that usually come with January goals. This is the first episode of a series called The Gentle Reset.
If you’ve ever wondered why you start strong and the lose steam or why you avoid goals altogether because you’re tired of feeling disappointed, this episode will show you why that happens and what to do instead.
You’ll learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, so change finally becomes doable and sustainable.
Key Takeaways:
You are not undisciplined or broken.
Your brain simply wasn’t designed for a full-life overhaul in January.
Gentle change is not only kinder, it’s more effective.
This year can truly feel different when you honor your capacity and wiring.

December 16, 2025EP 134: Wake Up To Making Life Easier
As the year winds down and the holiday season ramps up, this episode is a gentle permission slip to stop making life harder than it needs to be. Instead of pushing for more or trying to do everything “right,” this conversation invites you to notice where things feel unnecessarily heavy and choose support over self-judgment. Through a simple, real-life story, you’ll hear how waking up to your life can look less like a big breakthrough and more like a quiet decision to make things easier.
Key Takeaways
Waking up doesn’t always mean doing more. It often means noticing what feels too hard and doing something about it!
Busy or tender seasons don’t need optimization; they need self-compassion and support.
Letting go of something that isn’t essential can create more energy for what truly matters.
Asking “How can I make this easier?” can be a powerful question in overwhelming times.

November 20, 2025EP 133: The Power of Perspective: Understanding the Ones We Love
Perspective can make all the difference. A simple car ride with my daughter revealed how something I intended as loving and attentive was interpreted completely differently by her. It’s a powerful reminder that waking up to your life also means waking up to other people's perspectives and choosing curiosity over defensiveness when those two things don’t align.
Key Takeaways
Honest conversations create safety. Avoiding them creates assumptions.
Asking a simple question can change the entire story you’re telling yourself.
When someone shares their perspective, they’re giving you a map to love them better.
You don’t have to agree with someone’s experience for it to be real to them.
