    Why We Keep Forgetting How Powerful We Are | Breath, Firewalking & Trusting Yourself

    Have you ever felt yourself remembering who you are… only to forget again? Remembering your power, your voice, your truth — and then somehow getting pulled back into old stories, fear, people pleasing, or trying to do everything alone? In this deeply expansive episode of Back to the Heart, I’m joined by the incredible Jess Meister — breathwork facilitator, sound healer, coach, and certified firewalk facilitator — for a conversation that feels like a remembering. We begin with a powerful nervous system reset and explore what it really means to trust yourself, speak your truth, and say yes to the version of you waiting on the other side of fear. Jess shares her transformative journey into firewalking, walking on glass, and stepping into deeper healing after years of navigating family trauma, hyper-independence, and self-protection. Together, we unpack the power of boundaries, nervous system regulation, healing generational patterns, and why support matters more than doing life alone. This episode is for you if you’re learning to trust yourself again, finding your voice, healing old stories, or remembering just how powerful you truly are. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why we forget our power — and how to remember it again ✨ Nervous system regulation + the healing power of breath ✨ Hyper-independence, receiving support, and trusting others again ✨ Firewalking, walking on glass, and stepping through fear ✨ Healing family patterns and generational trauma ✨ Why saying “yes” to yourself changes everything ✨ Boundaries, changing your mind, and trusting your intuition ✨ The connection between voice, truth, and healing Connect with Jess Meister: https://www.instagram.com/iamjessmeister/ https://www.mindfulbodyexperience.com Connect with Amanda / Back to the Heart: 🌞 Instagram: @back2theheart2loveme 🎙️ Podcast: Back to the Heart ✨ Free clarity call: https://calendly.com/back2theheart2loveme/30min Until next time — keep coming Back to the Heart. 🧡 Follow on Instagram Book 1:1 with Amanda

    For the Woman Who Was Told She Was Too Much: Healing the Witch Wound

    Have you ever stopped yourself from saying something — and didn't even know why? Have you ever felt like your power, your voice, your knowing was just... too much? Like you needed to shrink to be safe, to be loved, to be accepted? What if that feeling didn't start with you? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Annie McCarty, founder of Reclaiming Her Flame and Trifecta Alchemy practitioner with trauma-informed training in Kundalini, somatics, and lineage healing.  Annie breaks down the witch wound — what it actually is, where it comes from, and why so many women carry this ancient pattern of silence, self-shrinking, and distrust of other women without ever knowing it has a name. This isn't just a spiritual concept. It's backed by history, by epigenetics, and by the lived experience of nearly every woman who has ever been told she was too loud, too emotional, too powerful, or too much. In this episode we explore: What the witch wound is and the real historical events that created itWhy women struggle to use their voice — and why it goes so much deeper than confidenceHow trauma is stored in the body and passed down through generations via our DNAThe connection between the witch wound and the sisterhood wound — why women pull away from other powerful womenKundalini yoga and somatic practices as tools for releasing what's stored in the bodyThe sacral chakra, the womb space, and why most women carry so much unprocessed energy thereWhy healing yourself is also healing your daughters — and breaking the cycle for goodResources mentioned: Annie's free Kundalini Energy Practice (Energy Shot): reclaimingherflame.com/energyshotConnect with Annie: Website: reclaimingherflame.comIf today's episode called something forward in you, Annie's free Kundalini energy practice is waiting for you at reclaimingherflame.com/energyshot.

In this powerful conversation, Amanda sits down with burnout recovery coach James Thompson to explore the deeper truth behind burnout—and why it’s not just about doing too much, but about being disconnected from who you truly are.  Together, they unpack how people-pleasing, overgiving, and living in a constant state of “doing” can slowly pull you away from your heart… and what it actually takes to return.
