    Pets. We love them so much—for many, they are our best friends, even part of the family. How did you process your grief when your beloved buddy went over the Rainbow Bridge? Did you acknowledge the loss of your furry friend or did society's belief that pet loss is incomparable to human loss force you to dismiss your pain?  Join Amanda and her Polkadot Powerhouse sister, Dr. Jennifer "Jen" Andrade, Chiropractor and AVCA certified Animal Chiropractor, for a sweet conversation about how important our pets are to us and why. The ladies also dip into the business side of Jen's life and the challenge she faced promoting her business in alignment with her introverted personality, an approach which eventually led to her success. They also discuss: 🔥 Pets may be a person's only source of unconditional love, making their death profound and life-altering for some 🔥 Jen's "soul dog" and how to identify if your dog is your "soul dog" 🔥 A dog's loyalty and lack of judgment fulfill certain needs in their humans, creating a deep attachment between them 🔥 Holistic care is available for your dog; signs that your dog may be in pain and needs to see a chiropractor 🔥 Different approaches work for different business owners—it depends on your personality and individual comfort level 🔥 The power of expressing emotions with clients in a heart-based profession Follow Jen on Instagram Visit her website to schedule an appointment More about Jen As founder of Elevate Health Chiropractic in the Denver area, Dr. Jen provides chiropractic care for pets and their people, helping both move better, feel better, and live better.

    S5E7 Full Spectrum Healing with Annah Elizabeth

    You've had a significant loss in your life and have moved forward. Have you considered how your innate and conditioned perceptions, unique personality traits, and personal values drive your forward motion? Have you wondered what motivates you and others to live the lives we choose?   Join Amanda and her guest, Annah Elizabeth, speaker, healing specialist, and the creator of The Five Facets® Philosophy on Healing for an intriguing conversation about your intrinsic blueprint that blends science and soul and dictates how you move through life, and loss. The two women, both experienced in helping people heal their grief, also talk about: 🔥The Five Facets (or universal gifts): academic, emotional, physical social, and spiritual sides of the Self that exist in a hierarchy and impact every aspect of your life, especially how you handle loss 🔥You don't have to mourn your loss forever, if you choose not to  🔥All inner conflict comes from unresolved grief  🔥Reframing the "ultimate loss" as not death but as a loss that is significant to you 🔥Your attachment to the person, place, or situation that you lost is what is causing the most pain  🔥It is possible to heal completely regardless of your experience 🔥How the 2nd or 3rd year after a loss is often more difficult than the 1st About Annah Annah Elizabeth is a speaker, healing specialist, and the creator of The Five Facets® Philosophy on Healing—an intrinsic human blueprint that reveals how people are wired to think, feel, respond, relate, and find meaning in their lives. With nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and communities through conflict, grief, and life transition, her work bridges science-informed insight with soul-level wisdom. Rather than focusing on fixing what's broken, Annah's approach centers on identity, awareness, and potential—helping people understand themselves and one another more clearly so healing becomes sustainable, compassionate, and empowering. Her work reframes unconditional love not as a feeling, but as a lived practice, a way of being, and a stabilizing force in times of uncertainty and division. Annah is the founder of HeartWise Healing Solutions and is known for creating grounded, accessible conversations that invite deep reflection, practical insight, and meaningful transformation. Her message resonates with seekers, leaders, and change-makers who are ready to engage in the next frontier of human healing—where love, identity, and conscious choice shape how we live, lead, relate, and evolve.

    S5E4 Expand Your Capacity For Success with Jakob Gricar

    Do you sabotage your success? Is there an invisible ceiling you won't let yourself break through in business or relationships? And could your nervous system be the main culprit? Join Amanda and her incredibly wise and emotionally intelligent guest, Jakob Gricar, a successful trauma-informed transformational coach who uses a wide range of techniques from IFS to CBT to somatics and nervous system science for a high-level conversation on creating space in your nervous system to hold the emotions necessary to achieve your greatest dreams. Jakob and Amanda take a deep dive into: 🔥The definition of capacity and what drives us to stay safe in our current capacity instead of broadening it 🔥How behaviors that cause pain are actually providing a payoff and satisfying a need, causing resistance to change 🔥Creating space in the nervous system is achieved with mindset, then somatic work, then integration 🔥Parts that you judge as "bad" and want to get rid of must be welcomed, witnessed, and loved instead of shamed  🔥The common misconception in the personal development world that we can serve all of our own needs; we need partnerships in order to fill needs we will never be able to fill ourselves (definition of true sovereignty) 🔥The three parts of secure attachment: Self to Self, Self to Others, Self to Source 🔥For men: What the healthy expression of the Divine Masculine looks like and how finding safety in your nervous system will aid you in fulfilling your innate desire to protect and provide About Jakob Jakob Gricar is a trauma-informed transformational coach who blends more than a decade of mastery in somatic work, internal family systems, ontological coaching, NLP, CBT, breathwork, polyvagal theory, and indigenous ceremony to catalyze profound inner change. From high-impact entrepreneurs navigating million-dollar decisions to purpose-driven creatives taking their very first steps in business, he guides clients to create a capacity in their nervous systems to handle all of life, dismantle limiting identities, and remember the unshakable truth beneath the noise. Jakob's sessions are an alchemy of precise nervous-system science as taught to him directly by pioneers in somatics, mix of modalities from CBT, IFS, NLP and more to fierce ontological accountability.  His own journey began at 13, when healing a chronic illness through relentless spiritual disciplines proved that the body can be a doorway to the miraculous. That spark ignited years of radical exploration: seasons of homelessness that forged unfiltered humility; near-death initiations that clarified what truly matters; yogic study in India's ashrams; and deep plant-medicine studies with Shipibo, Mestizo, Yawanawa and Huni Kuin medicine keepers in the Amazon rainforest. Along the way, he built a retreat center in Guatemala and co-created a conscious community and event space in Mexico, while learning from Judith Johnson, an 83-year-old pioneer in somatic work. Today Jakob collaborates with world-renowned coaches, and facilitates in their online and in person containers, mentors other business leaders, and guides deep in-person experiences through Vortex Retreats and co-runs a high-touch online coaching program for women.

    S5E3 Showing Up in Style with Jenny Greenstein

    What does your wardrobe say about you? Are you showing up in the world wearing clothes that express who you truly are or are you wearing a costume—a uniform that defines you—based on the dictates of friends, family, or society? Are you hiding behind clothing that you are "supposed" to wear rather than wearing what feels aligned? Join Amanda and her guest, Jenny Greenstein, certified life coach and New York City-based stylist, for an honest conversation about what your wardrobe says about your confidence and authenticity.  The two hometown friends talk about: 🔥 How your identity is constantly evolving and your wardrobe must evolve with you 🔥 How to shore up your confidence when your partner or someone else comments negatively on what you are wearing 🔥 Getting comfortable when someone notices your newfound authenticity through your style and how your self-esteem may encourage others to step into their truth 🔥 How to take risks when dressing for different aspects of life—work, vacation, events—and remain true to who you are 🔥 Ways to assimilate into new cultures when making a big move and blend your essence with your new environment 🔥 Both women's sober journeys and how removing the option to numb out has created incredible resilience to life's challenges About Jenny After more than a decade styling for global fashion brands, Jenny founded Your Soul Style to explore the intersection of identity, self-expression, and personal truth.
