Live Your F*ck Yes Life

I can’t tell you how much I needed this conversation for my own spirit — and I know it’s going to shed so much light on your own unique experience of this year, and bring hope to your heart around what’s to come. When I was thinking about how I wanted to round up this wild and exhausting year, I knew that I needed to bring my favorite astrologer friend, Jordan Shomer, back onto the pod and do a de...

I was so excited to watch this movie. So excited. A holiday rom com center in around a queer couple on a major network AND one with many queer voices and folx behind the scenes? After a long and hard week, I was SO ready to get in my cozies, soak up the Christmas tree and have my big ol’ bi heart feel seen and get into the holiday spirit. And instead of experiencing the feel good beautiful holiday...

When I saw that December 3rd 2020 fell on a Thursday — the same day a podcast has dropped into your earbuds almost every day barring season breaks for the last (almost) 3 years, I knew that the Universe knew what was up. This date will forever go down in history as a reminder of me navigating my preventative double mastectomy for two reasons: 1) On December 3rd, 2018, I went under the knife and ha...

Last week on the podcast, I shared about my personal eating disorder recovery story, and today, I am so thrilled to welcome a friend, ally and all around advocacy queen around all things eating disorders and recovery to expand the conversation and deep dive into the truth around what these cycles look like and how body toxicity and diet culture has impacted all of us in a myriad of ways. I know ma...

This episode is coming out almost 5 years to the day of my rock bottom of my eating disorder — something I didn’t realize until I started recording this week. I haven’t really talked about this subject and my story around my eating disorder in its entirety on the podcast before. Mostly because I haven’t been ready. I haven’t known how to put into words what the experience has been for me because,...

Hi loves. Todays episode is different — you may notice that there’s no typical intro music/snippets — because it didn’t feel right today. This week has been heavy. Hell, this year has been a fucking trip. And I wrestled with the idea of not releasing a podcast episode today — I wasn’t sure how we would be experiencing this post election day time. And when I woke up yesterday morning, in a mix of d...

Is monogamy the only way to build a conscious, loving and lifelong relationship? I used to believe it was the only way. But as you know, as I shared in episode 101, after 8 years together, both Kev and I moved away from the monogamous framework and stepped into the ethical non monogamous space two years ago. I know that people have MANY strong feelings around this (and it makes sense! Monogamy is...

I had planned an entirely different episode for today and in true Amanda following the gut tugs fashion, I needed to share from the depths of my heart around what this move has shown me about the power of conscious thought shifts, inner work and small simple shifts that brought me from rock bottom to here. 5 years ago, I was: in the depths of a cycle of eating disorders and body dysmorphia having...

Happy start to season 5 of the podcast!! It’s fucking hard to believe we’re already 5 seasons in — can you believe it? And we are kicking things off with a deep dive into an area of my personal self and my identity that I have yet to share publicly. It is something that has felt a long time coming and I’m so excited and ready to share about this part of myself. So yeah, I’m coming out. Again. Big...

100 episodes. Just saying that out loud feels surreal. 100 episodes ago, I launched this podcast with a dream — a dream to cultivate a space for real, honest and candid conversations around all sorts of topics. I didn’t know where it was going to go. But I knew that the conversations I was having around taboo or TMI subjects behind closed doors with my friends and fellow entrepreneurs were ones th...

This weeks episode, I have the deep privilege of having someone near and dear to me from my past on the podcast — my ex boyfriend Wesley. When the Black Lives Matter protests began getting amplified all across the United States and the world these last few weeks, I knew that I wanted to facilitate a conversation around this on the podcast. But I also knew that I needed to listen to what the black...

To round up the month of May and this wild time we’re living in, I wanted to have a candid conversation around this concept that we keep throwing around in society right now as “the new normal”. “When will life get back to normal?” “What is normal now?” What is our world going to look like post COVID? What are WE going to look like? Feel like? The term new normal is one that might be new to your w...

I’ve never outright talked about shame on the podcast. The things we’re ashamed of — those are always the scariest things to talk about, right? This may be the most in my feels episode I’ve ever pressed publish on in almost 100 episodes. Which scares the mother f*cking shirt out of me. Which is exactly why I knew I needed to share it. So come as you are, bring a cup of tea or head out on a walk, a...

I poo-poo’d meditation for the longest time. It was something I didn’t get. I was incredibly intimidated by it. It felt so foreign to me. And the idea of having a meditation practice was (and sometimes still is), something I feel so resistant to. And if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that where we face resistance, is where we need to place our energy and time because THAT is where the massive...

As a worldwide community, when we recorded this, almost 17 million people have experienced a layoff in their jobs as a result of this pandemic. A number which BLEW MY F*CKING MIND and which is wildly unprecedented in the history of the working world. I never thought I’d have a career strategist on the podcast. We all have jobs so how is that taboo at all? And yet isn’t that the VERY reason it is?...

COMING HOME TO OURSELVES ISN’T ABOUT LEARNING SOMETHING NEW OR BECOMING LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER. IT’S ABOUT STEPPING OUT OF THE CAGE WE’VE BUILT TO KEEP US SMALL AND “ACCEPTABLE” AND UNLEASHING OUR UNAPOLOGETIC SELVES. In the past few years, I’ve dove off the deep end to radical inner work that has allowed me to break down the boxes I had spent so much of my life living...
