What do NASA toilets and intuitive healing have in common? Amanda Smith, that's what. In this mind-blowing (and surprisingly grounded) conversation, I talk with Amanda Smith - an aerospace engineer turned medical intuitive - about how she bridges the mystical and the mechanical to heal bodies no one else can figure out. From designing the toilets for the Artemis space mission to creating her own Heal to Grow system for female athletes, Amanda's genius lies in solving what others can't even see. We explore what it really means to map the invisible, how intuition can be rigorously logical, and why some of the most brilliant minds are secretly the most intuitive.

Did you know that nearly half of all Americans will experience at least one traumatic brain injury (TBI) in their lifetime? Shockingly, many of these cases go unnoticed or undiagnosed. The symptoms can initially be subtle and easily mistaken for other chronic conditions like CPTS. Without proper diagnosis, individuals can face immense confusion, wondering why treatments aren't working as expected. This is why raising awareness about TBI is crucial. It's about helping those affected recognize their condition early on, gaining deeper self-understanding, and finding the right path to effective treatment. In today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Amanda Smith, an applied neurology pain and performance coach and NSI practitioner with extensive expertise in the field. Together, they dive into the complex layers of TBI. They cover its foundational aspects, how it differs from conditions like CPTS, its impact on childhood development, and the brain's altered nutritional needs post-injury. This conversation sheds light on a topic often overlooked yet profoundly impactful in many Americans' lives. Awareness is half the battle when it comes to identifying and treating TBI amidst the array of potential health concerns, including CPTS. Our brains and bodies are resilient, and with timely intervention, coping with TBI is not only possible but hopeful. If this resonates with you and you're curious to learn more, don't miss this episode!

Today With Amanda Smith: Hi, welcome to Window Treatments for Profit! In this episode, we're sitting down with Amanda Smith, a leader in the window treatment industry and co-founder of Seamless Workroom. From her start as a teacher to becoming a sought-after partner for interior designers, Amanda's story is a testament to the power of systems, efficiency, and a commitment to quality. More About Amanda Smith Like many others in this business, I did not start out as a fabricator of window treatments. I attended college at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte earning a bachelor's degree in Middle Grades Education. After teaching English and Social Studies for seven years, I attended graduate school earning a master's degree in library science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and worked as a high school media specialist for three years until my twin boys were born in 1998. At which time I became a stay-at-home Mom. When my boys turned three, I knew I wanted to work but did not want to return to teaching full time. While visiting a friend one afternoon, I noticed she had new window treatments in her family room. It was an “ah ha” moment. I thought, “If I can make cocktail dresses, I can surely learn to make window treatments!” I come from a family that sews. My mother, an accomplished sewer and quilter, taught me the art at age 12. My father owned a successful auto upholstery business for 25 years. Both of my grandmothers and all of my aunts sewed. With my family's support, I set up a small workroom in an extra bedroom and completed my first job in July 2001. What started out as a small, retail business has grown into a full-service to the trade workroom offering fabrication of panels, valances, roman shades, bedding and decorative accessories as well as several lines of fabrics, hardware, shutters, blinds, roller shades, solar shades, and natural woven shades for those associated with the interior design industry. In July 2017 I, along with Rose Mary LeBlanc, launched a second business. Seamless Workroom is a workroom management system which helps to improve efficiency and productivity within the workroom for fabricators and designers in the industry.

She designed the entire exterior and interior of the crew module of NASA's Artemis program.  In fact, one of her first engineering jobs was designing specialized toilets for submarines, airplanes and prisons. She used both her intuitive communication abilities and her mechanical engineering mind, for example, as she worked directly with the astronauts to develop a toilet that works in space.  She's always bridged her deep intuitive gift with her agile engineering mind to create real-life solutions that work both pragmatically and emotionally for people.   A lifelong athlete, she was also a NCAA division I and division II athlete, which drove her into emotional and physical wellness breakdown.  Healing her own depression and mysterious physical ailments led her to opening to her gifts as a medical intuitive.  Now, she works with other female athletes who are suffering with mysterious health issues that take them out of their game on all levels. Amanda's Heal to Grow system includes her renown “Bodyscan” that reveals what's really wrong in the body, maps the path forward, and lands her back in her best condition, back in her happy life, back in the game. She is the host of Spirit of an Athlete podcast. Talked about in today's episode: Bridging Intuition and Engineering medical intuitive practice on guiding female athletes who struggle with mysterious health issues Understanding the Body-Mind Connection Integrating Intuition into Healing Challenging Conventional Medicine   Free Gift: gutsychickquiz.com  The thing that made you a great athlete might also be the thing holding you back from healing chronic health conditions.

Galway United Women have a crucial midweek fixture against Treaty United FC of Limerick on Wednesday at 7.30pm to close the gap to league leaders Athlone Town FC to just 3 points. Both sides are coming off weekend victories against FAI Cup semi-finalists, Treaty United having beaten Cork City in dominant fashion away from home 3-0. While Galway beat Sligo Rovers in Eamon Deacy Park 2-1, thanks to goals from Amanda Smith and Emma Doherty. The sides also share a similar run in form with 3 wins and 2 losses each in their last 5 matches and both teams having a nominee for August's Player of the Month, Galway's Julie-Ann Russell and Treaty's Danielle Steer. Treaty United sit lower on the table in 8th place with 17 points in 15 matches while Galway are chasing the top 2 spots in the league with 28 points in 13 matches. Galway United are unbeaten against Treaty United in their last 8 league meetings, and they will look to extend this impressive record against the Limerick side to be within one point of second place Shelbourne with a game in hand. This would leave them a chance to climb to 2nd position in the league when they face Wexford in Ferrycarrig Park on Saturday evening. Manager Phil Trill told John Mulligan that it is a massive game for the team.

What would it mean for American and African American literary studies if readers took the spirituality and travel of Black women seriously?  With Spirit Deep: Recovering the Sacred in Black Women's Travel (U Virginia Press, 2023), Tisha Brooks addresses this question by focusing on three nineteenth-century Black women writers who merged the spiritual and travel narrative genres: Zilpha Elaw, Amanda Smith, and Nancy Prince. Brooks hereby challenges the divides between religious and literary studies, and between coerced and "free" passages within travel writing studies to reveal meaningful new connections in Black women's writings. Bringing together both sacred and secular texts, Spirit Deep uncovers an enduring spiritual legacy of movement and power that Black women have claimed for themselves in opposition to the single story of the Black (female) body as captive, monstrous, and strange. Spirit Deep thus addresses the marginalization of Black women from larger conversations about travel writing, demonstrating the continuing impact of their spirituality and movements in our present world.
