Originally from the Uk, Amanda is now settled in North Brisbane, where she’s working o...

Because it’s one thing to know what’s true for you and it’s another thing to actually express it.

In this episode, I reflect on life as a gift, the courage to show up as yourself, and the subtle way the mind tries to convince you that it’s safer to stay small. After a week surrounded by women speaking about pleasure, desire, and truth, I realised something powerful: pleasure cannot exist in survival. It lives in safety, in presence in living fully as you. We explore: – The spiral of life and h...
