And much more! More about Nina Nina created her podcast after the unexpected loss of her only sibling, Yosef, as an authentic exploration of grief and life after loss.

  • S2E10 Stumbling Into Authenticity

    S2E10 Stumbling Into Authenticity
    Apr 26 2024

    How do you know if you are being authentic? What does it feel like to show up as your true self in all situations regardless of the risk of being judged or losing a relationship? And have you explored your authenticity through the lens of your internal emotional response rather than how you present to the world?

    Amanda & Ginny take the authenticity conversation to a much deeper level, beyond your outward expression of self and into what it means to be true to your heart. They also explore:

    • Tools for stepping into your authenticity and maintaining it, such as consciously and consistently checking motives for your behavior.
    • How to change your conditioned response to things when feeling misaligned.
    • The moment you suddenly realize you don't have to work so hard at being authentic because you finally are authentic.
    • Authenticity may feel strange at first because you aren't used to it.
    • Changing "the dance moves" in a relationship, and how the other person may try different ways to keep dancing the way they are used to because its familiar to them.
    • Why we stay in unhealthy relationships even though they are painful.
    • Unlearning old programming to embrace the real you.
    • The importance of being mindful of how you truly feel in situations instead of reacting out of muscle memory.
    • And so much more!

    Books mentioned in this show are:

    The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie

    The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner, Ph. D.

  • S2E9 Next Level Self-Care with Marsha C.

    S2E9 Next Level Self-Care with Marsha C.
    Apr 12 2024

    How do you define self-care? Many of us know it goes beyond a girls night out or a spa day. Many of us also know self-care involves boundary setting, or not being a people-pleaser. But have you considered self-care in terms of the choices you make and how the ramifications of that choice affect you? Or the resentment you may hold against yourself for making that choice.

    Join Amanda and her guest, Marsha C., Spiritual Midwife and host of Her Sacred Soul Space Podcast, for a next-level discussion on the inconspicuous ways we choose to show ourselves love through self-care, as well as the ways in which we unconsciously choose to hurt ourselves because our self-worth is suffering.

    We also talk about:

    • Loving all the parts of you, not just the ones you judge as good
    • The importance of a holistic self-care perspective
    • How self-resentment can show us how to make a better decision the next time because we are more aligned with our truth
    • Reaching the place where we truly want to take care of ourselves and the small ways we do that (which are not really small at all!).
    • Marsha's shroom journey and how she healed her inner child
    • How self-worth is a prerequisite for self-care

    Marsha helps women who are in their birthing season, especially those who are breast cancer survivors and have a hard time accepting their new normal. She teaches them how to spiritually reconnect with themselves so they can have a soul-centered (mind, body, spirit) transformation. Marsha uses several wellness methodologies garnered during her personal journey with breast cancer to help women discover and birth their purpose.

    The book Marsha talks about is called The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn.

Real Life Talk

If you want to open up your mind to becoming more spiritual, loving, and understanding of others, please listen. This is unlike most podcasts that have surface level conversation. Amanda digs into real-life situations and how we can become more compassionate and understanding of society as a whole. Must listen!
