There was a stretch of my life where every single day felt like something was wrong.

I’d wake up with my heart already racing, like it had been sprinting through the night. I’d try to eat, but my stomach would turn. Bright lights made my eyes feel weird, and just walking into a grocery store felt like a dare.

Doctors ran all the tests – bloodwork, EKGs, brain scans. Nothing. They said it was anxiety. But it didn’t feel like “just anxiety.” It felt physical. Real. Inescapable.

Eventually, I stopped looking for the next diagnosis or supplement and started asking a different question: What if my body wasn’t broken, but stuck? That question changed everything.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on when your body feels off but no one can find anything “wrong.” I’ll talk about nervous system dysregulation, why lab tests don’t catch it, and how to begin resetting your system – without forcing or fixing.

If you’ve been silently Googling “feel off every day,” this is your sign to stop searching and start understanding.

Tune in.

Amanda White was a veteran, a homeschooling mom of four, and a farmer. Life had always been loud and busy — but something shifted after the loss of her mother-in-law and a series of health scares.

It started with dizziness. Then she ended up in the stroke center… twice. One of the visits revealed an occluded artery, and with it came a growing fear that she’d had — or was going to have — a stroke.

That fear didn’t leave. It grew into daily panic attacks, insomnia, and a buzzing sensation in her body she couldn’t explain. What’s worse, doctors told her she might just have to get used to it.

She kept imagining her four daughters walking in to find her dead. Her thoughts turned dark — even towards self-harm — very quickly. She didn’t recognize herself anymore.

Amanda tried carnivore dieting, excessive exercise, therapy, multiple medications, magnesium infusions, and even medical marijuana. But nothing brought lasting relief — until she found Sean’s videos.

That was the first time she understood what was actually happening: she wasn’t broken, just sensitized.

Fast forward to today, she isn’t just panic-free — she’s also recovered from bulimia after struggling with it since childhood. Now, she sleeps better than ever, and her life is filled with joy, not fear.

In this episode, Mirka talks with Amanda about her full journey — what broke her, what helped her heal, and how she learned to live again.

Listen in.

I used to think that healing meant feeling calmer and lighter—like progress would show up as peace. But then, right in the middle of doing everything right… I started spiraling.

My chest tightened. My heart raced. Random panic attacks returned, and the intrusive thoughts were louder than ever. I thought I was back at square one.

Turns out, I wasn’t backsliding at all. I was actually healing.

In this episode, I’m talking about why your nervous system flares up right when it’s trying to rewire itself. I’ll share how the moments that feel like collapse are actually your body learning to feel safe again. And that panic, fear, and chaos you’re experiencing? It’s not failure. It’s your system testing whether you're ready for real freedom.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I feel worse when I’m doing everything to feel better?”—this one’s for you.

Tune in and learn why the storm often comes right before the calm.

Let me know if you’d like a more casual or more clinical tone version as well.
