Has your family, society, or your own self put you in a box and created an identity that suddenly feels inauthentic? Are you awakening to a reality that your conditioning has defined who you are instead of you defining who you are?

Join Amanda and her guest Betsy Pepine, author of "Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes that Bind Us" for a deeper look into how people and the world around us have the power to shape us into who they think we should be with tactics like judgment and expectation. Break through your own box as you listen to this enlightening and empowering conversation between two women who have witnessed and broken down their own boxes on their journey toward true authenticity.

A few boxes and topics they explore include:

• The "Good Mom" box and how striving to appear like a good mom is actually doing a disservice to your child
• The "Good Daughter" box and the pressure parents place on their children to be what they want them to be instead of honoring and allowing them to be who they are
• The "Single Mom" box and the judgment that comes with being older and single
• Reasons why we stay in these boxes and how to break free from them
• Somatic therapies like EMDR, bioenergetics, and breathwork as a pathway to healing trauma
• Betsy's favorite word, "next," and how she uses that word to dismiss the notion of failure and keep moving forward when things don't go as planned

Are you wondering if your partner may be a narcissist or has narcissistic tendencies? Have you tried to break away from a toxic relationship only to return again? Are you sick and tired of the merry-go-round that leaves you feeling guilty, shameful, and defeated? Then this episode is for you!

Join Amanda and her guest Bre Wolta, EFT and The Clearing Work™ Certified Practitioner and Relationship Clarity Coach as they discuss and explore the 4 stages common in all narcissistic relationships (not only romantic ones!): lovebombing, devaluing, discarding, and hoovering. Understand what it feels like to be in the whirlwind of each one and learn tools to free yourself from this vicious cycle.

Amanda and Bre also talk about:

• How and why women end up in these relationships: the root cause usually stemming from childhood
• Nervous system regulation through EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique): an energy tool to reset, recenter, and ground into the essence of who you are so you can feel safe in your body again
• Narcissistic relationships are a form of addiction
• How Bre works with women to help get them untangled from these toxic relationships
