HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS EPISODE:

In this episode, I have an insightful and heartfelt conversation with Amanda about finding internal calm, even when life feels overwhelming. She shares her personal journey through grief, self-discovery, and radical self-acceptance, showing how she turned challenges into opportunities for growth. As a certified grief coach and energy healer, she brings powerful wisdom on staying grounded and emotionally resilient, no matter what life throws our way.

Together, we explore practical tools that I can personally vouch for—breathwork, movement, meditation, and shifting perspectives—to reset the nervous system and cultivate lasting peace. Amanda also reminds us how vital community and support are in navigating life’s ups and downs. If you’re ready to take control of your inner world and embrace a calmer, more centered life, this episode is filled with inspiration and actionable steps to help you get there.
