    Healing After Chronic Illness: Amanda Reece on Endometriosis, Self-Trust & Manifestation

    Amanda Reece spent more than a decade living with debilitating pain before finally being diagnosed with cervical cancer and stage 4 endometriosis. After years of being dismissed by doctors, questioning her own intuition, and simply trying to survive, Amanda rebuilt her life from the ground up. In this conversation, we explore what healing really looks like, why manifestation isn't about wishful thinking, how grief is an essential part of transformation, and why the version of yourself that survived deserves compassion instead of criticism. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected from yourself, or wondered whether it's too late to change your life, this episode is for you. In this episode we discuss: Living with undiagnosed endometriosis and chronic painSelf-advocacy in healthcareThe realities of healing after trauma and illnessManifestation vs. intentional actionRebuilding your identity after survival modeWhy grief is part of creating a life you love More about Amanda at: https://www.amandafesting.com/ https://www.instagram.com/aimandalign.amandafesting/ https://www.youtube.com/@Amandafesting

    "Ready" Is Not a Feeling - Why Your Research, Planning & Vision Boards Might Just Be Avoidance

    "I'm just not ready yet." I used to say this all the time — and it felt responsible and true. But most of the time, it was just fear masquerading as preparation. In this episode of Wait — What Do You Do Again?, I'm talking about why waiting to feel ready is one of the most typical ways smart, kickass women stay stuck. We're breaking down why confidence doesn't come before action and why all the researching, planning, and color-coding of your calendar might actually be avoidance dressed up as productivity. If you've been putting off a career pivot, a hard conversation, a creative project, or just taking your dreams seriously, this episode is for you.

Pearl shares how she incorporates her work as a dietitian and nervous system educator to help people get “LIT” from the inside out by building the capacity to feel, move, and create in a way that actually feels aligned in the body. We dive into Pearl’s sober rave movement - guided dance experiences designed to create the same feelings of connection, joy, and “high” that people often chase through substances… using only what the body can naturally produce. In this episode, you’ll learn: What your nervous system actually does (and how it shapes your behavior)The difference between regulation and capacity and why it mattersSimple tools to shift your state in real time (even in a meeting or grocery store)How movement, breath, and somatic work help you feel and process emotionsWhy feeling “lit” has nothing to do with substances and everything to do with your bodyIf you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation will give you a new way to understand what’s going on and how to start shifting it.
