I Chopped Off My Tits

Episode #146: Scars Don't Mean You're Broken

We all have scars.

The physical ones that we see, and all of the ones that are there that we can’t.

But we feel them. We know them. And, sometimes, we discover we have them years into our adult lives and the shame, the guilt, the overwhelm of processing it all can be all consuming and incredibly fucking daunting to face.

TW: self loathing, body image, medical procedures/needles

In todays episode and in honor of mental health awareness month, Amanda talks about her journey with scars — both physical and beyond. And shares some truth bombs & support around how you can start your own journey in detaching yourself from the shame and guilt of the scars you keep.

Episode #109: Looking Back on My Three Year Journey With BRCA | A Solo Episode

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (74).png

When I saw that December 3rd 2020 fell on a Thursday — the same day a podcast has dropped into your earbuds almost every day barring season breaks for the last (almost) 3 years, I knew that the Universe knew what was up.

This date will forever go down in history as a reminder of me navigating my preventative double mastectomy for two reasons:

1) On December 3rd, 2018, I went under the knife and had my surgery.

2) On December 3rd, 2019, I released my book I Chopped Off My Tits into the world.

So when I was thinking about how to honor what this day means to me, and, really, what the last almost 3 years of sifting through the fears and feels around all things BRCA — I thought it would be pretty epic to go back to when it all began: February 6th, 2018, two days after my 27th birthday, when I got the call from my doctor that I was, in fact, positive for the BRCA 1 gene and travel through time together via the podcast and my book and current real time expressions.

Fear? Working through the feels? Sifting through anything that impacts our mental health, physical health, relationships, work, sex lives and beyond? It can feel OVERWHELMING AF. Especially because we’re endlessly taught that we need to have our shit together through the mess. The shoulds can be so f*cking suffocating. I know because I was there, love.

And I hope this episode reminds you that no matter what you’re facing, you’re not alone in the mess. I’ve got you. The Live Your F*ck yes community has you. So curl up and let’s go on this journey together.

Episode #107: My Eating Disorder Recovery Story | A Solo Episode

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (73).png

This episode is coming out almost 5 years to the day of my rock bottom of my eating disorder — something I didn’t realize until I started recording this week.

I haven’t really talked about this subject and my story around my eating disorder in its entirety on the podcast before. Mostly because I haven’t been ready. I haven’t known how to put into words what the experience has been for me because, really, as anyone navigating the cycle of eating disorders and/or body dysmorphia and shame around our bodies knows, the recovery process is an ongoing one.

Today, on the podcast, I share my story and what my recovery process these last 5 years have really looked like. And I deep dive into what the last 3 months in particular have taught me about what it can really mean to come home to your body and feel liberated in your own skin.

Whether you’ve experienced or are in the throws of an eating disorder or not, if you are a human who has ever felt shame around your body, if you’ve struggled to love and accept yourself for all of yourself and have lived your life from a place of shoulds and overwhelm, this episode is for you.

Episode #92: The True Path To Inner Peace | A Solo Episode

Screen Shot 2020-04-29 at 12.40.14.png

COMING HOME TO OURSELVES ISN’T ABOUT LEARNING SOMETHING NEW OR BECOMING LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER. IT’S ABOUT STEPPING OUT OF THE CAGE WE’VE BUILT TO KEEP US SMALL AND “ACCEPTABLE” AND UNLEASHING OUR UNAPOLOGETIC SELVES.

In the past few years, I’ve dove off the deep end to radical inner work that has allowed me to break down the boxes I had spent so much of my life living inside (boxes that slowly built around me without me even fucking realizing it because THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS.)

It’s been a journey of unbecoming. Of liberation. Of unapologetically showing up as my true self, facing fear head on and shedding the layers of what was never mine to begin with.

Today’s episode, we deep dive into what that can look like, and how you can use this time to amplify your sense of self instead of lose it.

Episode #83: Is Change Really So Bad? My Awakening In The Last Six Months | A Solo Episode

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (46).png

For so long, I viewed change as a bad thing. Something to fear. Steer clear from.

Have you felt that way too?

It can be so terrifying to rise up into our full potential and make shifts in our life, even when we know we need to. And so often, we let that fear hold us back from taking any action and instead, we tell ourselves why we’re not good enough and self sabotage from moving in that direction.

I have been doing so much transformative work on myself the last six months — work I NEVER imagined possible and have had A F*CK TON of realizations, aha moments and a full and complete coming home to myself in a way I never imagined possible.

I had planned something completely different for today’s episode, but this has been so on my heart and I am finally ready to share with all of you my complete and utter awakening that has taken place the last few months. And I’ll be honest — I’m really scared to share this piece of my heart. It’s probably the most vulnerable I have ever been on the podcast. But that’s what living your f*ck yes life is to me.

More in this week’s episode my loves. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and come join me for this one.
