🎙 Episode 140: From Survival to Sovereignty — Amy Kandetzke on Healing, Hormones, and Hope

In this transformational episode of Framing New Heights, host Michael B. Hicks sits down with Amy Kandetzke, a trauma-informed holistic practitioner and hormone whisperer, who went from surviving chronic burnout and emotional overwhelm to reclaiming her sovereignty — mind, body, and spirit.

Amy gets real about her personal journey through autoimmune struggles, hormonal chaos, and the deep emotional rewiring that helped her rise. Together, we unpack the intersection of trauma, nervous system regulation, functional wellness, and feminine resilience.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode — exhausted, anxious, disconnected — this episode is your permission slip to pause, reset, and rise. 🌱

🔥 In this episode, we explore:
The hidden link between trauma and hormone imbalance

Why the body stores emotional pain (and how to release it)

What “sovereignty” really means in a healing journey

Tools for nervous system safety, spiritual alignment, and self-trust

Amy’s personal wake-up moment that changed everything

🎧 Tune in if you’re ready to stop coping and start reclaiming your power.
This one’s for the healers, high achievers, and women who are done shrinking to survive.

Are you really living—or just surviving?

In this episode of Framing New Heights, Michael Hicks unpacks one of the most overlooked forms of self-sabotage: getting comfortable in survival mode. What starts as a coping mechanism quietly becomes a lifestyle—one where dysfunction feels familiar, emotional fatigue is normalized, and true joy becomes distant.

Michael breaks down the hidden cost of staying stuck in chaos, and offers a clear, practical path to shift from surviving to thriving through his Liv2Thrive coaching framework. You’ll learn how to recognize survival patterns, rebuild daily rhythms, and reconnect with purpose—mind, body, and soul.

If you’re tired of just “making it through the week,” this episode is your invitation to rise into a new season.
