Fear. The tiny 4-letter word that runs your emotional show! Fear underpins all anxiety, resentment, and painful relationships that make your life difficult. Can we really rid ourselves of it? Is being completely "fearless" attainable? For most of us, this natural human instinct is here to stay (on some level), so how can we use it as a messenger, showing us where to lean in and grow.
This episode is packed with tips and tools for becoming aware of when and how fear is driving you and suggestions for how to step into it (scared, not fearless!) and emerge from it transformed. Learn the value of exposing fear with the intention of transmuting it into an energy that no longer hinders, but transforms you into the highest version of yourself, which is love.

S2E9 Next Level Self-Care with Marsha C.
How do you define self-care? Many of us know it goes beyond a girls night out or a spa day. Many of us also know self-care involves boundary setting, or not being a people-pleaser. But have you considered self-care in terms of the choices you make and how the ramifications of that choice affect you? Or the resentment you may hold against yourself for making that choice.
Join Amanda and her guest, Marsha C., Spiritual Midwife and host of Her Sacred Soul Space Podcast, for a next-level discussion on the inconspicuous ways we choose to show ourselves love through self-care, as well as the ways in which we unconsciously choose to hurt ourselves because our self-worth is suffering.

S2E7 The Highs and Lows of Recovery with Andrea Ashley
Have you been in recovery, or working on emotional or spiritual growth for a while, and feel stuck? How do you navigate the inevitable highs and lows, the ebb and flow, of life in general? Do you think that just because you are not where you "should" be, that you are doing something wrong?

S2E4 Let the River Take You with Toks Aruoture
What do you do when you reach a stumbling block on your road to success? Do you consider it the end, a sign of failure, or do you view it as a minor setback? Do you trust the process?
Ginny and Amanda talk with special guest Toks Aruoture, a British-Nigerian businesswoman and the founder of The Baby Cot Shop, a luxury baby furniture brand based in London, as well as host of the acclaimed podcast, Living Inside Out with Toks , about how to navigate bumps (sometimes painful ones) on their journey toward their dreams.
Are you unhappy in your marriage? Wondering where the butterflies went? Are you constantly feeling let down by your partner, convinced someone else will make you happy? Do you keep attracting the same kind of person who cannot meet your needs?
Ginny and Amanda wrap up Season 1 by exposing the truth about falling in love--what it is and where it disappears to. They explain two similar schools of thought around the topic, both with the mission of coming home to your True Self by healing childhood wounds.
Ep16 Where Is My Fairytale?
Are you overwhelmed with sadness over the amount of people who are losing their lives and their homes due to senseless war? Are you even more angry and fearful about the state of the world today than you were yesterday? Do you feel powerless to alter the trajectory of humanity? Are you desperate for tools for collective healing?
Ginny and Amanda provide insight about how to rise above the fear surrounding the Israel-Hamas war so you can serve the collective as best as possible during this devastating time in history.
Ep15 We Are One
Are you disillusioned by the media, big business, and our governments disregard for human life, and human connection? Are you disheartened by our societies obsession with consumerism and our wasteful mindset? Do you feel like you must have the latest gadget and be up to speed on the latest headline or you will be left behind?
Get ready for a raw, honest, and slightly uncomfortable conversation of self-reflection as it relates to consumerism (in every way), and how we as a society are responsible for keeping the machine (the media in bed with big business in bed with the government) going. (Thank God for the 1st amendment!)
Ep11 Down With the Sickness
Ep10 Shine Baby, Shine!
Do you feel guilty for having a good life, for having success? Has someone either directly or indirectly tried to bring you down while you were in the process of evolving emotionally, mentally, or financially? Do you feel the need to keep yourself small in order to make someone else feel better about themselves? How do you respond when someone tries to bait you and rope you into their chaos?
Join Ginny and Amanda in an insightful and funny conversation about letting yourself shine no matter your situation. There will be singing!
Shame. It's a liar. Where does it come from? Why does it rock us to our core, so fiercely that it becomes a compelling part of our identity, controlling our behavior and how we show up in relationships? Shame holds incredible power to disconnect us from ourselves and others, sometimes bringing us to the point of depression, and addiction.
Ginny and Amanda break down shame to help you recognize it, understand the role family plays in creating shame, and inspire you to stop allowing shame to define you.
Ep2 Burn It Down
How do you know if you are being authentic? What does it feel like to show up as your true self in all situations regardless of the risk of being judged or losing a relationship? And have you explored your authenticity through the lens of your internal emotional response rather than how you present to the world?
Amanda & Ginny take the authenticity conversation to a much deeper level, beyond your outward expression of self and into what it means to be true to your heart.
S2E10 Stumbling Into Authenticity
Are you ready to evolve mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? Are you tired of the dissension in the world? Are you seeking a way to bridge humanity back together? Are you yearning to heal yourself and then help the world heal?
If so, then you are in the right place.
