How To Love Yourself No Matter What

Welcome to the How To Love Yourself No Matter What Podcast, hosted by Amanda Hess, a Certified Trauma Aware Life & Success Coach for Neurodivergent Women. This podcast is dedicated to helping neurodivergent women change what they think is "wrong with them" into their superpower. Amanda struggled with her neurodivergence for years without even knowing that it was neurodivergence. Maybe you can relate? Thanks to not understanding her unique brain and her unique needs, Amanda spent decades dealing with the emotional fallout of not knowing how to address her highly sensitive nervous system. This meant a long journey of mental health struggles, meds that didn't work and therapy that seemingly made her feel worse, not better. Until she found coaching, which changed everything. Now Amanda teaches neurodivergent women how to approach their unique brains in a way that creates trust, understanding, and real results. If you are craving a new experience with yourself and want to feel like you truly belong to yourself and to the world, this podcast is for you. Let's get started.

    250. Stop Running Your Life Like It's Fast Food

    Hi, hi! So, I was driving home after spin class, thinking about what we should talk about today, and it hit me—so many of my conversations lately have been about convenience. Specifically, how much we shape our lives around not being an inconvenience to others. But here’s the thing: We’re treating our lives like a fast food drive-thru—always looking for the quickest, cheapest, easiest option. And just like fast food won’t build a strong, nourished body, this approach won’t create a fulfilling, sustainable life either. In this episode, we’re breaking down: ✅ How we’ve been conditioned to prioritize convenience over real self-investment. ✅ Why you need to stop treating yourself like the clearance section. ✅ The difference between fast progress and meaningful progress. ✅ A simple shift that will help you create more time and capacity for you. If you’re tired of feeling exhausted, overextended, and stuck in survival mode, this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s start building a life that actually feels good. ✨ PS: Grab my free 5-minute nervous system reset at joinamanda.ca and start investing in you. 🎧 Listen now!

    249. Soft Strength (Let's Talk About Being A Karen)

    What if strength didn’t have to mean pushing, demanding, or proving? In this episode, I dive into the concept of soft strength—a way of advocating for yourself and holding firm to your boundaries without aggression, force, or emotional dysregulation. I explore the power of allowing others to have their own feelings while staying grounded in your own truth, and how this shift can change everything in relationships, co-parenting, and even navigating life’s hardest moments. If you’ve ever felt stuck between being seen as too much or not enough, this episode is for you. Learn how to stand in your power with clarity, confidence, and calm. 👉 Need support with this?

    248. Walking Each other Home: Dismantling The Good Girl Narrative With Feminist Life Coach Maggie Reyes

    In this episode, I sit down with my first-ever life coach, Maggie Reyes, a feminist marriage coach and the author of The Questions for Couples Journal. We dive deep into the social conditioning that shapes women’s lives—how we are raised to be “good” by constantly serving others, often at the expense of our own desires and well-being. Maggie shares her insights on navigating the discomfort of wanting more for yourself, creating safety in self-discovery, and finding balance in relationships without losing yourself. We also explore how small shifts in perspective can lead to big changes in how you experience your life. If you've ever felt stuck in over-functioning, struggling to put yourself on your own priority list, this conversation is for you.

    247. Reclaiming Your Wants: Breaking Free from Burnout & People-Pleasing

    Are you feeling stuck in the cycle of burnout, constantly giving and never taking time for yourself? In this episode, I dive into the concept of wanting—why so many of us lose touch with our own desires and how to reclaim them. We’ve been taught that being the “good girl” means putting everyone else first, but at what cost? I explore the impact of this mindset, the necessity of rest, and how learning to prioritize yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. I also share insights from my own life, from skating as an adult to teaching spin class, and what they reveal about growth, failure, and nervous system regulation. Plus, a sneak peek into next week’s episode with Maggie Reyes, where we’ll talk even more about breaking free from outdated expectations. If you’re ready to stop performing and start living, this episode is for you. Let’s reconnect with what you truly want. ✨ Follow me on Instagram (@theamandahess) and TikTok for more insights.

    246. Coaching, Therapy, and the Path to Real Change

    In this episode, I’m diving into an important topic: the difference between coaching and therapy. It’s something that often comes up, and I’ve seen a lot of confusion around it. While both can support emotional well-being, they are not the same—and understanding the distinction can help you decide what kind of support you truly need. I’ll walk you through what coaching looks like, how it overlaps with therapy but remains its own unique process, and why it’s so effective in creating real, lasting change. If you’ve ever wondered whether coaching is right for you, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Want to take this work deeper?

    245. The Truth About Self-Worth That You Don't Know

    In this episode, I dive into the topic of self-worth, something I surprisingly haven’t covered in depth before—despite this being my 245th episode! I reflect on my podcast journey and how over 130,000 listeners have tuned in, which is incredible. We often feel like we’re not enough, whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth. But the truth is, self-worth is intrinsic—it’s something we are born with, not something we have to earn. The challenge is not about proving our worth but learning how to navigate fear, self-doubt, and emotions so they don’t hold us back. I share how shifting our perspective on self-worth can transform our confidence and overall experience of life. Instead of trying to “feel good enough,” we should focus on processing emotions, balancing our inner world, and taking action despite fear. If this resonates with you, I’m hosting a confidence masterclass on February 11th to go even deeper into these ideas. You can register at joinamanda.ca. Let’s build the life we truly want—without questioning our worth. Tune in and let’s talk self-worth!

    244. Turning Labels Into Stepping Stones

    Have you ever felt stuck because of the labels you or others have placed on you? In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into how labels shape our lives—for better or worse. Labels can offer clarity, community, and tools for growth, but they can also hold us back when we use them to justify staying stuck. Together, we’ll unpack why our brains love labels, how to recognize when they’re helping versus hurting, and the steps you can take to break free from limiting beliefs. This episode is packed with actionable insights to help you shift your mindset, regulate your emotions, and create a life that feels fulfilling and aligned—no matter what challenges or labels you’re navigating. Whether it’s ADHD, dyslexia, or the dreaded “people pleaser” identity, I’ll show you how to turn your labels into stepping stones instead of roadblocks. 💡 Ready to dive deeper? Join me for my masterclass on January 30th to learn how to build confidence, self-esteem, and emotional resilience.

    243. Confidence: Why You Need It & How To Create It

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about confidence—what it really is, why it’s so important, and how you can create it in your life. Confidence isn’t something you’re born with; it’s something you build by starting, failing, and learning along the way. I’ll share my own journey from fear to confidence, why resilience matters, and how to move forward even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’ve been waiting to feel confident before taking bold steps, this episode will show you why you don’t have to wait anymore.
