Episode #144: The Growth Is In The Unlearning, Baby

Todays episode is all about the “growth mindset” mentality vs. the process of unbecoming, unlearning and coming home to ourselves that so many of you asked Amanda for after her instagram stories last week.

As someone who lives her life outside of many of the traditional norm boxes that our society is rooted in, this has been on her heart big time, lately, and it’s clearly been on yours too. We’re surely a unique bunch and the Live Your F*ck Yes Life community wouldn’t be what it is without all of you — my fellow people pleasing, trauma navigating, queer and/or non monogamous humans (and beyond!)

So pop in your headphones, snag something yummy and cozy if it feels good to you & let’s dive in.

TW: eating disorder cycles, diet culture, trauma, panic attacks

Things she talks about in todays episode:

  • The desperation for true belonging

  • The environment of the “fit in” mentality to thrive and be enough

  • The good and the harmful pillars around the growth mindset & pop culture “hustle & grind” mentality

  • Her experience moving from Canada to the US at nineteen and how growing up in and around immigrant families has impacted her experience living in the US

  • Moving through the “starving artist” trope for the last decade as an actor & performer

  • The impact of capitalism, the patriarchy & white supremacy on her choices, paths & perspectives

  • Navigating feelings of broken-ness, fear, lack of purpose, panic & beyond

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK

"I was always trying to be this perfect, in the box, version of myself. And I wasn't exploring and breaking beyond those barriers, and allowing myself to dig deep as I have in the past few years."

Today's episode is super special to me for a few reasons.

For one, I have one of the most important people in my life on the podcast. I had the joy of getting to travel back to Canada for my 10 year high school reunion in June (does anyone else feel like time flies by SO quickly?) and three of my best girlfriends from all areas of the world and I spent the weekend at my lake cottage to start the bon voyage to the boobs celebrations.

It was such a magical weekend filled with love, laughter, goofy shiz and I had the honor of having my oldest friend, Caroline, flip the script and interview ME for this edition of our Solo episode series.

Caroline and I have known each other for over 15 years and while we have taken super different paths in life, she is hands down the person who knows me better than anyone -- so it felt only natural to have her on the podcast!

It's also super special because I chat about a lot of topics that I've never shared about on the podcast before, specifically my journey through high school and where I'm currently at with my nutrition and mindset.

Here are a few things we cover in today's episode:

  • Morning routines
  • Some of my must reads and how I choose my personal development books
  • How to ride the waves of life
  • My top 3 personal values at the moment
  • My personal mindset around nutrition and what I think of the trendy diets right now
  • How I healed my eczema
  • The high school me and how it impacted who I am today
  • Breaking free of the "box" and the bucket list life  
  • My dream guest to have on the pod

Episode #18: Balance is a Load of BS | A Solo Episode

IMG_5414.JPG

Are you endlessly striving for this "balanced life" and constantly feeling yourself fall short.

I was talking about this with my girlfriends this past weekend and I realized how long I spent striving for this elusive concept of balance in my own life -- never feeling like I could make it happen, and beating myself up about it.

Here are a few things I touch on in todays episode:

  • Why going with the flow / against your "plan" is key 
  • Why I am taking the word balance out of my vocabulary
  • The perspective shift that changes the game 
  • 3 tools to be able to release the pressure to adopt this "balanced lifestyle"
