| Equine Therapy: What Horses Reveal About Your Hidden Self — Sue Willoughby | 02 Oct 2025 | 01:01:16 | |
What if your biggest breakthrough wasn't hiding in another therapy session or self-help book, but waiting for you in the eyes of a 1,200-pound animal who can see right through every story you tell yourself? In this revelatory conversation, certified EQU coach Sue Willoughby introduces us to the transformative world of equine-assisted coaching, where horses become our most honest teachers and mirrors for the parts of ourselves we can't quite see. Here's what makes horses such powerful catalysts for change: they're prey animals, which means every cell in their body is wired to detect truth. They sense the gap between what you're saying and what you're actually feeling. They'll walk away when you're trying too hard to be liked, push into your space when your boundaries are weak, and come close the moment you finally let go of your agenda. As Sue explains, "Our bodies hold every experience that we've ever had, that's what the horses are seeing and feeling and becoming part of." This isn't intellectual understanding—it's embodied wisdom that can accomplish in ten minutes what might take months in traditional talk therapy. Amanda shares her own powerful experience of desperately wanting horses to approach her, only to have them ignore her completely until she released all expectation and simply sat down in surrender. Within moments, two horses walked right up to her—a visceral lesson in how neediness repels connection that no amount of reasoning could have taught. Sue's journey from finding refuge in barns as a child to becoming a master facilitator reveals how horses have always offered us their greatest gift: non-judgmental presence. Whether it's the young person who finally found safety to speak their truth, the executive discovering that authentic leadership looks nothing like corporate performance, or the midlife woman rediscovering who she is beneath decades of playing roles—horses create the space for us to stop performing and start being real. The work extends beyond individual healing into team dynamics, boundary setting, leadership development, and that most precious skill: learning to be fully present in our own lives. If you've been doing your inner work but feel like something's still not clicking, if you're tired of intellectually understanding your patterns without being able to shift them, or if you're simply curious about what truth a horse might reflect back to you—this episode offers a doorway into a different kind of transformation. Sue leaves us with a profound invitation: "Be the horse. Start being curious about everything. Start looking at the world through beginner's eyes." What might change if you approached your life with that kind of openness? Listen to discover why the arena might be exactly where your next breakthrough is waiting. How to Get in Touch:

| Conscious Manifestation: A Skeptic's Guide to Making It Work | 18 Sep 2025 | 00:26:45 | |
Why do you keep attracting what you don't want? Amanda Parker reveals how to flip unconscious manifestation into conscious creation through a practical methodology that honors your whole experience. What if the reason you keep attracting the same exhausting work situations, draining relationships, and financial stress isn't bad luck—but unconscious manifestation? In this eye-opening solo episode, Amanda Parker reveals a truth that will shift everything: "We are always manifesting. So we are literally always creating our experience of the world. The thing is that most of us are not creating consciously." This isn't another fluffy manifestation tutorial—it's a practical methodology for taking control of the reality you're already creating whether you realize it or not.

| Being the Only Woman in the Room: How to Lead Without Shrinking - Angie Vaux | 04 Sep 2025 | 00:42:30 | |
What if the healing you've been seeking isn't found in a therapy session or wellness retreat, but in a boardroom filled with women who truly understand your journey? In a world where women still represent only 20% of the tech workforce and face invisible barriers daily, the power of authentic community connection isn't just nice to have—it's absolutely essential for both personal healing and professional success. Meet Angie Vaux, the "badass" CEO and founder of Women in Tech Forum and Women Leaders Forum, whose remarkable story proves you don't have to choose between being a successful businesswoman and a healer. From her 12-year international corporate career to becoming a certified Theta healer, Angie has discovered something revolutionary: when women gather in safe spaces to share their authentic experiences, profound transformation happens. As she puts it, "By creating these forums, women were able to share, to learn from each other, but also to know that they weren't alone as well in some of the issues that they were experiencing." This conversation reveals the practical magic of manifestation (including Angie's exact method for landing her dream job in Sydney), why embracing discomfort is your gateway to growth, and how to integrate intuitive wisdom into business decisions. You'll discover why the "Boys Club" still exists in 2025, what forward-thinking companies are doing about it, and the ripple effect that happens when women step fully into their power. Are you ready to stop constraining your vision and start reaching for the stars? Listen now and discover how women's empowerment isn't just about changing careers—it's about healing the parts of ourselves that have been silenced and reclaiming the bold, authentic leader you were always meant to be.

| Energy Work for Business Growth: Why Healing Alone Isn't Enough - Joanna Choncer | 21 Aug 2025 | 01:06:11 | |
What if everything you've been told about building a successful business - and healing yourself - is keeping you stuck in cycles of exhaustion and scarcity? In this episode, intuitive business mentor Joanna Choncer reveals why the endless pursuit of "fixing" yourself might be the very thing blocking your abundance, and how shifting into your power as a creator can transform both your inner world and your bank account. This conversation matters because so many passionate entrepreneurs and healers are trapped in what Joanna calls the "healing trap" - constantly searching for the next block to clear, the next strategy to try, the next certification to earn before they feel "worthy enough" to charge what they're worth. Joanna's own journey from attracting toxic relationships and living in post-communist scarcity consciousness to building a successful business offers a radically different path. She shares how a single moment reading about theta healing in a Polish magazine catalyzed a 12-year transformation that taught her this profound truth: "We receive just because we exist. And this has always been our frequency, always, and still will be until the day we die." Her approach blends intuitive business guidance with manifestation principles, showing how clients create everything from disappeared tax bills to 30K months by embodying their desires before seeing evidence. The most intriguing insight Joanna shares is that there comes a point where focusing on healing actually creates more problems to solve. Instead, she advocates for stepping into "creator consciousness" - using tools like theta-state affirmations and the law of assumption to literally rewire your reality from the inside out. Whether you're a healer struggling to monetize your gifts or an entrepreneur burning out from hustle culture, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about worthiness, manifestation, and what it truly takes to build an abundant business. Are you ready to stop healing yourself into limitation and start creating from your inherent power? How to Get in Touch:

| How to Get Unstuck When Life Feels Overwhelming (Practical Steps) | 07 Aug 2025 | 00:21:52 | |
What if that crushing feeling of being stuck—the one where your feet feel nailed to the ground and every breath feels heavy—is actually your soul's way of preparing you for breakthrough? In this transformative solo episode, Amanda Parker reframes one of life's most uncomfortable experiences and reveals why that suffocating stuckness might be the exact energy you need to birth something extraordinary. If you've ever felt paralyzed by an endless mental to-do list or wondered why you can see exactly what needs to change but can't seem to move the needle, this episode will shift everything. Amanda vulnerably shares her own recent creative crisis and draws a stunning parallel between feeling stuck and the final stages of childbirth—that unbearable discomfort right before new life emerges. "There is a point in time at which you will get so sick of your own... shit, that you will just push everything that you have into bringing that thing to life," she reveals, offering a completely new lens on what it means to feel trapped. Beyond the mindset shift, Amanda delivers two game-changing techniques that will pull you out of overwhelm immediately: the brain dump method that transforms mental chaos into clear action steps, and the control assessment practice that puts you back in your power. You'll discover her three-category system for prioritizing (including the brilliant anxiety ranking method), learn why the Pomodoro technique works for even the most overwhelming projects, and understand how to distinguish between what's weighing you down versus what you can actually influence. This isn't just about getting unstuck—it's about recognizing that your seasons of stagnation are sacred preparation for your next level of growth. What breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of your current discomfort? Listen now and discover the tools to transform your relationship with feeling stuck forever. How to Get in Touch:

| How to Take Action on Your Goals (Closing the Wanting-Doing Gap) | 26 Jun 2025 | 00:18:34 | |
If you've ever felt frustrated by the gap between your intentions and your actions—hitting snooze when you planned to exercise, scrolling social media instead of working on that project, or watching another goal slip by unfulfilled—this episode will change everything. Amanda Parker cuts straight to the heart of why we sabotage ourselves and reveals that the problem isn't what you think it is. The core premise is revolutionary: it's not about willpower, motivation, or discipline. It's about fear—specifically, our deep-seated fear of fully committing to what we say we want. Amanda introduces her transformative "going all in" framework, sharing how "Most people are afraid to fully commit. They might tip a toe in, they might try it out for a couple of days or even a couple of weeks, but they're not really fully committed and not really going all in." Through her own vulnerable story of spending years "wanting" to learn French (when she really just wanted to already be fluent), Amanda demonstrates how to distinguish between genuine desires and fantasy outcomes. What makes this episode particularly powerful is Amanda's four-question diagnostic tool that exposes exactly what's keeping you stuck. She walks you through identifying your deeper emotional drivers, eliminating friction from your path to success, learning from past failures instead of repeating them, and making the conscious choice to commit—even when it feels uncomfortable. These aren't just abstract concepts; they're practical strategies that work whether you're trying to build a business, improve your health, or create any meaningful change in your life. Here's the question that will haunt you after listening: What would become possible if you stopped dabbling and started going all in on what truly matters to you? This episode doesn't just diagnose why you're stuck—it hands you the exact roadmap to break free. Don't let another goal become a regret. Listen now and discover what it really means to close the gap between wanting and doing.

| Healing Through Community: Why You Can't Do It Alone — Anamaria Dorgo | 12 Jun 2025 | 01:01:57 | |
What if the path to healing isn't a solitary journey, but one best traveled in community? In this transformative conversation, Amanda sits down with community building expert Anamaria Dorgo to explore how authentic community becomes a powerful vessel for personal transformation and healing. Anamaria, founder of the renowned L&D Shakers community, shares her revolutionary approach to creating spaces where people don't just connect—they discover missing pieces of themselves they didn't even know were lost. Through her journey from feeling isolated as the only learning professional in her company to building a global community of thousands, Anamaria reveals the secrets of what makes community truly healing: distributed leadership, intentional experimentation, and the courage to let go of control. She introduces a beautiful definition of healing as "finding and incorporating missing pieces in yourself"—some you know are missing, others you discover along the way. The most revolutionary insight? Community becomes your confidence laboratory—a safe sandbox where you can test out who you're becoming before stepping into that identity in the "real world." As Anamaria reveals, "I use community a lot to build confidence and power by doing things here in the safe space and sandbox so that I can see myself doing it, so that I can believe that I can do it." Whether you're a healer looking to understand the power of collective transformation, an entrepreneur wanting to build meaningful community, or someone seeking deeper belonging, this episode offers profound insights into how we heal—and help others heal—together. This isn't just about building online groups; it's about creating spaces where people can experiment with who they're becoming, find their tribe, and step into their power with confidence that ripples into every area of their lives. What missing pieces of yourself are you unknowingly searching for, and what would change if you stopped trying to find them alone? How to Get in Touch with Anamaria:

| Money Mindset Healing: Transform Your Relationship with Wealth — Lina Rimasauskiene | 20 Mar 2025 | 00:56:11 | |
Money isn't just currency—it's energy, freedom, and a potential source of profound healing in our lives. In this deeply personal and revealing conversation, finance coach Lina Rimasauskiene shares her remarkable journey from childhood poverty to financial freedom, demonstrating how our relationship with money directly reflects our relationship with ourselves. The conversation challenges common misconceptions about wealth creation by distinguishing between earning money and the crucial skill of managing it effectively. Lina expertly explains why many entrepreneurs and individuals remain stuck in financial scarcity despite working hard—they haven't developed systems to allocate resources purposefully in alignment with their values and long-term vision. Rather than viewing saving as deprivation, she reframes it as purposeful contribution toward meaningful goals. What makes this episode particularly powerful is how it addresses the emotional and psychological dimensions of our financial challenges. Lina shares transformative exercises, including her "100 possibilities" technique that helps expand limited thinking about money's potential in your life. She also discusses why many people engage in "shelf development" rather than implementing financial knowledge, collecting books and courses without making actual changes. Whether you're struggling with money management, hoping to heal your relationship with finances, or simply wanting to develop greater financial independence, this episode provides both practical wisdom and mindset shifts to transform your approach. As Lina beautifully states: "Your self-worth is not determined by your bank balance, but your bank balance shows your self-worth." Ready to experience the healing power of financial freedom?

| Men's Work Explained: Why Men Need Healing Spaces Too — Joshua Fineman | 21 Nov 2024 | 00:49:47 | |
In this powerful episode, Joshua Fineman, founder of Mensch, shares his journey into facilitating men's work and the transformative power of male community.

The conversation explores the unique challenges men face in modern society, particularly around emotional expression and seeking support. Joshua describes how men's work provides a structured, intentional environment where men can "take off their armor" - whether that armor manifests as aggression and standoffishness or people-pleasing and conflict avoidance. Through powerful examples and personal stories, Joshua illustrates how consistent participation in men's work leads to subtle but profound transformations in how men show up in their relationships, careers, and daily lives. He emphasizes that transformation isn't about dramatic changes but rather small, conscious choices that shift the trajectory of one's life "half a millimeter" at a time.

Amanda Parker gets honest about her own journey from living on autopilot—jumping from job to job, saying yes to everything, and feeling like life was happening to her—to learning how to intentionally design her life.

Dive deep into the wisdom of walking between worlds, finding balance, and embodying your own unique essence in this captivating episode that will leave you inspired to embark on your own transformative journey. ------- Teo describes his own training in the shamanic lineage traced back to ancient Mexico, and the foundational practice of recapitulation - an energetic recalibration of one's life experiences. By reclaiming the energy attached to past events, people can free themselves from limiting beliefs and behaviors. Teo emphasizes that healing in his tradition is not about "letting go", but about transmuting and integrating all experiences to gain understanding and knowledge. Teo also discusses his recent book "Transmission", which showcases the stories of his master students, modern women who have gone through this powerful training. His aim as a teacher is to help students find their own authentic transmission and way of impacting the world. For those feeling the call to this path, Teo advises trusting the "ping", finding community, having the discipline to pursue the journey despite the mind's doubts, and maintaining "sobriety" - the ability to continue one's worldly life while opening up to the spiritual realms. The key is learning to walk with one foot in each world.

| Affirmations That Actually Work: Rewiring Your Mind for Healing — Jessie Parker | 15 Feb 2024 | 01:01:19 | |
In this episode, host Amanda Parker interviews her sister Jessie Parker about the transformative power of affirmations. They discuss how affirmations can be used to rewrite unhelpful beliefs that were often formed in childhood, and to consciously cultivate more supportive, empowering beliefs instead. Jessie stresses the importance of uncovering your true underlying beliefs first before creating affirmations, so they can fully align with your deeper self. She shares how affirmations work best when you engage your whole being - mind, body and emotions. Visualizations, feeling the emotions you want to cultivate, and repeating affirmations regularly help cement new neural pathways. Amanda and Jessie also talk about how to write effective affirmations in the first person, emphasize different words to keep them fresh, and display affirmations around your home as reminders. Jessie leads a visualization for feeling affirmations in your body. They explore the idea that healing is a process of bringing the mind, body and spirit into greater harmony, which affirmations can facilitate by transforming limiting thought patterns. Jessie also shares exciting updates on her artwork, affirmation card deck - A Gentle Reminder - and new Reiki practice.

| Spiritual Awakening Struggles: What No One Tells You About the Messy Middle | 27 Nov 2025 | 00:24:22 | |
What if everything you've been told about spiritual awakening is wrong? Forget the Instagram posts about divine downloads and blissful enlightenment—the real story of awakening is far messier, more isolating, and infinitely more human than anyone wants to admit. And if you're in the thick of it right now, wondering why your entire life suddenly feels intolerable while everyone around you seems perfectly content, you need to hear this. In this raw, deeply personal solo episode, Amanda pulls back the curtain on what actually happens after an awakening experience—the part no one talks about when they're selling you that ayahuasca retreat or Kundalini activation. She shares her own seven-year journey through what she calls the "messy middle": that disorienting liminal space where your old life no longer fits, your relationships start falling away, and you're trying desperately to make sense of an experience you don't even have words for. From her pivotal Reiki attunement in Thailand that shifted everything, to the years of fumbling through courses and teachers trying to intellectualize something that could only be understood through the body, Amanda offers the hand-holding and validation that she wishes someone had given her when she first stepped onto this path. This episode is essential listening if you're experiencing that gnawing restlessness that won't go away, if you're the only person in your circle questioning everything, or if you're secretly terrified that something's wrong with you because the life that looked perfect on paper suddenly feels unbearable. Amanda speaks directly to the shame of wanting "more," the exhaustion of finally feeling again after years of numbing out, and the grief of outgrowing relationships, careers, and identities that once defined you. But she also shares the truth that makes it all worthwhile: on the other side of this uncomfortable transformation is a life lived in full technicolor, where nothing can stop you because you finally know yourself completely. Whether you're already deep in your awakening journey or just beginning to sense that there's something more calling to you, this episode offers the compassionate, brutally honest roadmap you've been searching for. Amanda's message is clear: you're not broken, you're not alone, and the messy middle is exactly where you're supposed to be.
