Many women grow up learning how to care for everyone else, yet very few learn how to receive love, pleasure, and deep connection themselves.

In this episode of Back to the Heart, Amanda is joined by Victoria Eisenhower, host of the podcast Love and Lattes, for a powerful conversation about intimacy, self-connection, and rediscovering what it means to truly receive.

Victoria shares her personal journey through divorce, healing, and self-discovery that eventually led her to create a podcast centered around love, relationships, and honest conversations about intimacy. Together, Amanda and Victoria explore why so many women struggle with pleasure, how people-pleasing disconnects us from our own needs, and how curiosity and communication can transform both our relationship with ourselves and our romantic partnerships.

They also discuss the importance of slowing down, creating space for joy, and choosing yourself in a world that constantly pushes hustle and performance.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your own pleasure, unsure how to communicate your needs, or curious about deepening intimacy in your life, this conversation offers powerful insights and a new perspective.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why many women struggle with intimacy and receiving
• How curiosity can transform communication in relationships
• The role of self-connection in creating fulfilling partnerships
• Why pleasure and joy are essential parts of healing
• How choosing yourself can shift the entire direction of your life

Book 1:1 with Amanda

What if you aren’t asking for too much love?

What if you’re asking for a level of love that requires more emotional capacity than exists in the relationship right now?

When depth feels missing in a relationship, it can create frustration, confusion, and self-doubt — especially when you know what you want and you’ve communicated it clearly. In this episode, Amanda explores the concept of emotional capacity and how your relationship with yourself shapes what you experience with others.

You’ll learn why people can only give love to the depth they’ve developed inside themselves — and why receiving love also requires capacity. Through personal stories and grounded insights, Amanda explains how self-love, nervous system safety, and embodiment directly impact relationship dynamics, clarity, and fulfillment.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, this episode will help you understand why — and what actually creates change.

• What emotional capacity in relationships really means
• Why someone may care about you but still be unable to meet your needs
• The difference between sacrifice and healthy love
• Why we sometimes stay when we know something isn’t enough
• How self-love affects your ability to receive love from others
• Why relationships shift when your internal capacity grows
• The connection between identity, embodiment, and relationship clarity

This episode is for anyone who:

• Feels unmet or frustrated in a romantic relationship
• Wonders why they’re giving more than they’re receiving
• Has done personal growth work but still feels stuck in relationship patterns
• Wants deeper emotional intimacy, connection, and alignment
• Is learning how to come back to themselves and build self-trust

Love doesn’t change because someone else finally gets it right.

Love changes when your capacity changes.

When your relationship with yourself shifts… everything else reorganizes.

Book 1:1 with Amanda

What if clarity isn’t something you need to figure out—but something your body is already communicating?

In this episode of Back to the Heart, Amanda is joined by Cherry Cherepanov for a grounded, real-life conversation about Human Design through the lens of self-trust, intuition, and everyday decision-making.

Rather than treating Human Design as a label or identity to follow, this conversation explores it as a practical, supportive framework—one that helps you understand how your energy works, how you’re designed to make decisions, and how to work with yourself instead of against yourself.

They also talk about how Human Design can complement the healing work you’re already doing—including mindset work, therapy, coaching, and other modalities—without replacing any of it.

This episode is for anyone who values self-awareness, embodiment, and living more authentically, and who wants practical insight into how they’re designed to move through life with more ease.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Human Design supports self-trust and intuition
• Why clarity often lives in the body, not the mind
• Understanding your energy and decision-making style
• Working with yourself instead of forcing change
• Using Human Design alongside other healing tools

✨ Notice what resonates as you listen—your body often highlights what’s meant for you.
