I help sensitive women get out of emotional distress so they can start to THRIVE instead of just survive

You’re definitely in the right place if other people think you have everything totally “together” but underneath you feel like things are falling apart. If you have always felt like you’re “different”, “less than” or “not enough”, you are in the right place.
My Life Hit Rock Bottom
I had a life that everyone else would agree looked pretty perfect. I was married, had 2 kids, a dog, a house and a professional career. It’s just nobody really knew what happened behind closed doors.
I have always been what people would call “overly emotional”. I used to get in trouble for it at school and at home. I learned my emotions weren’t welcome, and I learned how to shove them down.
So I got to work on “fixing” myself. I started with drinking to try and cover up who I was. So I was a lot of fun in my 20’s. Until I wasn’t because you don’t tend to be “less” emotional when you are wasted.
In my 30’s I turned to the medical profession for help. I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression, prescribed SSRI’s with a handful of therapy sessions and lived like a zombie for an entire year.
But when I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, I knew that things were as bad as they could possibly get. I had uncontrollable anger and I didn’t know what to do. I tried all the therapy, podcasts and books and ultimately, nothing seemed to help. Until I learned that I didn’t actually have to hate myself. It turned out my brain was working exactly the way it was supposed to. I learned how to understand my anger and give myself what I needed instead of lashing out at others.
(while everyone else thought everything was completely fine)
I found a coach who loved me unconditionally and taught me to do the same for myself. And now that’s what I am going to teach to you.
I consider myself to be a neurodivergent, mental illness survivor. I used to live my life trying to desperately figure out what the fuck was wrong with me. Because I didn’t really fit in. Because everything just seemed a little harder for me. I was a little too loud. A little too excited. A little too genuine. A little too abrasive.

Amanda helped me realize that I was just human and having human issues and feelings. She zeroed in on some of my trigger points and helped me look them in the eye. She helped me forgive myself and start the recovery to self love. Also Amanda showed me how to give myself space to feel and hear what my gut was saying, to not react to them.
Amanda was very good at challenging my thoughts and self judgment I have had probably my whole life. She was very direct and intuitive, but kind and gentle. She has a very special talent of getting to the root of things. Be ready to be real, because that’s how you will grow and shed unneeded energy that may be holding you back from fully being yourself.

I'm so grateful to have worked with Amanda. She is compassionately direct, empathetic, and most importantly so supportive. My biggest lessons were learning to feel my feelings and learning the importance of making the decision to show up as who I want to be every day. Thank you Amanda for creating a safe and supportive space for our coaching sessions and guiding me towards a place of self-compassion and renewed self-belief.
