This episode kicks off a new 3-part series on capacity and support. Amanda unpacks why so many of us are chronically overfunctioning and under-supported, and why that imbalance, not just the stress itself, is often what drives anxiety and eventual burnout or depression. She shares a personal story about operating at ninety-five percent capacity as her default for over a decade, including a callout from a friend and a moment in therapy that both named the pattern before she could see it hersel...
Sparked by a real question from a member Q&A, this episode tackles something Amanda hears constantly: weight gain during a season of depression, and the shame that tends to follow it. She walks through why those behaviors, low energy, less movement, food as comfort, made complete sense given the context, and why "getting back to your old body" is the wrong goal to chase. She also pushes back on the trendy claim that regulating your nervous system alone will melt off the weight, offers a c...
A client's offhand comment about crying through a sad movie sparked something Amanda hasn't been able to stop thinking about: the contained cry. In this episode, Amanda unpacks the real difference between containing an emotion and suppressing it, why giving a feeling boundaries can actually be one of the smartest moves your nervous system makes, and how the concept of titration explains why touching the edge of something hard, then coming back, then touching it again, is often more healing th...
Your gut and brain are in constant conversation, which means what’s happening in your gut can influence your mood, stress response, sleep, and overall mental health—and chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can influence your gut right back. In this episode, we unpack the gut-brain axis, microbiome, inflammation, and common gut disruptors; explore when gut health might be a missing piece in persistent anxiety or depression; and talk through the foundational habits and functional tes...
In this episode, Amanda tells the story of a cancelled flight, three kids, a dog, and three extra days away from home, and the strangely flat, checked-out response she had to it. Instead of treating that numbness as a problem, she breaks down why it was her nervous system doing exactly its job. Along the way, she offers a new way to actually measure healing (hint: it's not whether you still get anxious), a guardrail against turning nervous system work into one more thing to grade yourself on,...
In this final episode of our Back to the Basics series, we bring together all the key concepts we've explored over the past eight episodes. From understanding your nervous system to creating a personalized path to healing, this episode serves as both a review and a roadmap for moving forward with confidence and clarity. 3 Takeaways: Whole-Human Approach: True healing comes from integrating both physiology and psychology – one that explores and acknowledges how your body, mind, relationships, ...
In this episode, we’re continuing with Part 8 of the Back to the Basics series by exploring the vital role that comprehensive lab work plays in healing anxiety and depression. I break down why we take a physiology-first—but not physiology-only—approach, the truth behind the outdated “chemical imbalance” theory, and how functional labs can uncover real root causes that are often missed in standard care. 3 Takeaways: Physiology First, Not Only: There’s an interplay between physiology and psycho...
In Part 7 of our Back to Basics series, we explore proactive regulation as the long-term approach to healing anxiety and depression through a nervous system lens. Building on our previous discussion of reactive tools, this episode examines how to address the root causes of your symptoms. 3 Takeaways: Proactive regulation is about root causes, not symptom chasing. It’s the long game of building a sustainable, regulation-supportive life.The most effective healing path is personal. Your next ste...
