Amanda was an Advertising Executive, and made her way from Sydney, Australia to Hollywood with her family. She always knew she had a healer in her but hid that part of herself. After losing her sister she knew she had to make room for her calling and she made her way to Berlin to dive into learning more about body work. I've had the pleasure to be on Amanda's table and those sessions were incredible. I'm sharing her story and her revolutionary holistic work with the intention to make it even more known to support people in their own healing journeys. In this conversation we talk about our bodies' innate wisdom, Glennon Doyle's Untamed, creating a container of safety and love, the soles of the feet as a starting point in sessions and why she invites her clients to 'come curious'. https://www.instagram.com/beyourtotalself
Happy Thursday, and hello from Marshall, TX. Today's topic is about being good enough, versus settling for good enough. I'm rereading Glennon Doyle's Untamed, and she hits the nail on the head so frequently. How often do you settle for good enough? Our relationships, jobs, and bodies are good enough. Settling for good enough enables us to stay small, and go after the things we want. Settling is a giant red flag and a sign that we are not following our intuition. I'm not saying to never consider rational but to instead weigh it next to your intuition. Being good enough is when you are no longer striving to prove yourself. When we don't feel good enough, we accept things we wouldn't out of worthiness. When you see yourself as good enough, it's so empowering and it allows you to dream bigger. It allows your imagination to run wild. ”What is the most true and most beautiful life you can imagine for yourself?” - Glennon Doyle If you want to work with me 1-on-1 with me click here, and if you are interested in a Joshua Tree Adventure in February 2023, that will be linked here! I also have an offering to get the most out of the rest of 2022, called Let Joy Lead, read more about that here. Thank you, and have a beautiful rest of your day. I'll see you next week.
First episode we ever recorded talking about why we were inspired to record a podcast together and how we were influenced by Glennon Doyle's Untamed.

Amy discusses Glennon Doyle's Untamed with guest Lane Anderson.Listen to the full episode here.
In Glennon Doyle's third memoir, UNTAMED, she broke the mold on what's expected of wives and mothers. Her brave story about divorcing her husband and the father of her three children, then falling in love with and marrying her new wife, reminded me of my own mold-breaking story. Several years after my own divorce and no children, I decided to have a baby on my own at 43-years-old.
Meet co-hosts Alexa Ferra and Maritza Lacayo while you dive into Glennon Doyle's "Untamed." Paired with Gary Farrell's Pinot Noir 2018, the duo talks about the book's themes and highlights while divulging on personal anecdotes and current events.
Well, Jessie fled the country. The perk of this was that we all got to watch a sunset from the Bahamas from our computers. We're sorry you couldn't experience that... but we do have another great episode for you (and you can hear the sweet chirp of the Bahamian crickets in the background). We finally finish up Glennon Doyle's "Untamed". The perfect ending to an amazing book. Lydia talks about the importance of apologies, Jessie brags about her stellar Boy Scout talents, Kaila discusses why it's so important to keep her marriage together, and we were all collectively impressed by Megan's daughter's rock collection. Settle in and turn it up, it's time for another episode of the Books that Make Us Better.
Tense moments were had, accidental e-mails had been sent out, and Jessie turned into our personal cheug-o-meter. Today we're on a tightrope between causing waves, trying not to rock the boat, and trying to help people from falling into the river. It's a shortened episode but laughs were still had as we continue making our way through Glennon Doyle's "Untamed".
For this episode, we took on seven more chapters of Glennon Doyle's "Untamed". We discuss our love for La Croix, regardless of the fact that Jessie thinks it tastes like TV static, Mom jeans (you're welcome, Gen Z), and the group's general consensus of how delicious cream cheese is. Don't forget to follow our facebook pages, "Books that Make Us Better" and get in on our latest giveaway! We're so happy you're joining us for another week!
Ready... Set... Go to the chapter "Attendance" and dive back into Glennon Doyle's "Untamed" with us! These next chapters talk a lot about parenting a lot of the complex situations that come along with our precious children. Four different women with four different thoughts - let's talk about this new "over parented but under-protected" generation.
As we continue to make our way through Glennon Doyle's Untamed, we discuss Beach Houses through Buckets on this week's Books That Make Us Better Podcast. It's another week of deep discussion and light hearted laughter. Megan briefly discusses her recent travels, Jessie divulges her love for HGTV, Lydia continues to make us all jealous of her marriage to her husband (but we love her love), and Kaila is sweating.... again. Pour a glass of wine and settle in - we have things to discuss.
On episode three we deep dive into the first portion of Part 3 of Glennon Doyle's "Untamed". Somehow terrible gift giving, bad haircuts, and reality TV made it into the mix. Don't forget to follow us on facebook! www.facebook.com/booksthatmakeusbetter *brief explicit language used*
On the first season finale of the Sit With Snit podcast, I invite you to reflect on what these eleven episodes meant to me and what I hope they have meant for you. I don't particularly see this episode as a finale per se, but rather as an invitation to pause with me. After eleven groundbreaking and intentional conversations with thought leaders, it is time to sit and stop. Over this past year, especially when beginning this podcast journey with you all, I have learned the following: I understand now that no one else in the world knows what I should do. Of course, I have my select inner circle of confidants that I look to for guidance, and their advice better helps me shape my narrative, and still, at the end of the day, I truly know best. How did I get to this knowledge, you may ask? I've done a lot of inner work that I can now invite myself, my full self, into the silence. I remember reading Glennon Doyle's "Untamed" and deeply resonating when she introduced to readers the concept of "the knowing." After convincing herself that at least ten minutes a day would help her find herself in her closet since, at best, she took eighty minutes finding her lost keys. "This place is underneath; low, deep, quiet, still. There are no voices there, not even my own. All I can hear down there is my breath. It was as though I'd been drowning, and in my panic, I had been gasping for air, calling for rescue, and flailing on the surface. But what I really needed to do to save myself was let myself sink...I can know things down at this level that I can't on the chaotic surface. Down here, when I pose a question about my life — in words or abstract images — I sense a nudge. The nudge guides me toward the next precise thing, and then, when I silently acknowledge the nudge — it fills me. The Knowing feels like warm liquid gold filling my veins and solidifying just enough to make me feel steady, certain." What Doyle calls "The Knowing," I call my neshama, my G-dly infinite spark. When I allow myself to get quiet and sit with things without fear or judgment, my soul speaks to me and fills me in on everything I need to know, and now I invite us all to engage in such an experience until the next season of the Sit With Snit podcast. So, are you ready for some reflection with your girl? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sitwithsnitpodcast/support
Welcome to another episode of Books That Make Us Better! Today we're going over part two of Glennon Doyle's "Untamed". We discuss the opening poem and the three "keys" that Glennon talks about. These keys are the secret to uncaging yourself. Today's theme? Feel the feelings!
This weeks podcast finds Jinty and Lou getting down to the nitty gritty of sex and sexual health, particularly as we age and through menopause, with this weeks amazing guest, Samantha Evans, co founder of Jo Divine an online sex toy company that she founded with her husband Paul. Sam has a background in nursing, she has written hundreds of articles for Jo Divine and the press and enjoys creating informative, practical articles about sexual health and pleasure which endeavour to normalise sex and help folk feel confident in talking about it. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge, and her personal story about the intimate health industry, women being targeted with ads for intimate washes and lubricants that contain damaging ingredients- damaging to your vagina but also the planet. Sam talks about what we should know about sexual lubricants, how to become an ingredients detective to avoid the harmful ones. You will learn how we can have good vaginal and vulva health, enjoy a healthy, fun sex life (with or without a partner) and why our vaginas should not smell like roses. Exploding candle anyone? What ingredients should we be wary of? What will cause irritation for both the vagina, penis or anus? And why bath bombs should be called thrush bombs, nobody needs a glittery vagina! Vaginal Atrophy is an umbrella term for many issues with our vaginas and vulvas and Sam aims to break the taboo and get women talking. It is very common for women to not be comfortable to wear pants or trousers, or even sit down, let alone ride a bike or a horse.... or have sex! Sam discusses why we should all have a vagina and vulva skin care regime and what it should entail to keep a healthy pH and why we should be moisturizing our vulvas, just like we moisture the skin on our face. Also why we should be checking our vaginas and vulvas just as we check our breasts. We talk Libido or the lack of, and what we can do to improve it. Sex toys that can help us and the health benefits of an orgasm! Sam also gives us her 3 tips for great sexual health and well-being. You may have also seen Sam in the new documentary on Channel 4, Sex, Myths and The Menopause, with Davina McCall. If not definitely check it out.

Welcome to this weeks Womenkind Collective where Jinty and Lou talk all things women. On this weeks podcast we find out why we can't drink as much alcohol as we used to, especially during menopause. There is a new foodie Collective, a recipe for ‘No bake flapjacks'. As it's national pet month we hear from some of the Collective about how pets have helped, mentally and physically, during the pandemic and we catch up with the book Collective Untamed by Glennon Doyle. The main topic of this weeks podcast is Alcohol and the Menopause, Jinty and Lou find out that gender plays a big part in alcohol tolerances and why a woman's alcohol intake might want to be less than a man's, especially in menopause when oestrogen levels deplete, women have more fat and less water in their bodies causing blood alcohol levels to rise. The question is why is this information not readily available so women can make informed choices? The book Collective is on the penultimate read of Glennon Doyle's Untamed, the book is resonating with so many of the Collective and has raised some interesting topics about parenting and being your true vulnerable self and why being more of a flight attendant as a parent will help through turbulent situations. We learn what pets have done for us mentally and physically during lockdown and not just the dogs! We have some global comments from the Collective and we meet Sammy the guinea pig! The foodie Collective is a ‘no bake' month & both Jinty and Lou have made the no bake flapjacks from Emma Hollingsworth recipe and have a taste off, this is a simple recipe that is full of good gut ingredients and learn how some of the ingredients can be swapped for cheaper options. The WI's from both Jinty and Lou have some positive results from Jinty's gratitude's (grateful not to be crocheting) from Lou's invite to the shampoo bar that Jinty invited Lou to try. The 3 tips from life are from a lovely member of the Collective, Laura; she imparts her words of wisdom to the Collective about life. No bake Flapjacks; Ingredients For the flapjacks * 2 cups oats * 1/3 cup raisins * 4 tbsp maple syrup * 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted * 1/3 cup cashew butter (or any other nut or seed butter) For the chocolate fudge * 1/2 cup cacao powder * 1/2 cup maple syrup * 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any other nut or seed butter) * 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted To make the flapjacks, just combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well. Spoon into a lined baking tin or mould and press down evenly to make sure the mixture is all compact, otherwise it won't stick together nicely. Pop it in the fridge while you make the fudge. For the fudge, again just add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until you have a thick chocolatey mixture (don't worry if it seems quite liquid as this will set in the fridge). Pour it on top of the flapjacks and put them back in the fridge for an hour or so to allow them to set. Alternatively if you're impatient like me you can always put them in the freezer and they will set quicker. Cut them into squares! Yum !

In this weeks podcast we follow up on episode 2 all about headaches. We seek expert advice from our guest this week, McTimoney chiropractor and qualified medical herbalist, Kathryn Vickery. She discusses headaches and migraines, and helps us understand the difference between Primary and Secondary headaches. We learn how our posture may affect us with some surprising ways we can alleviate pain. How often do we look down? And how heavy are our heads?! Kathryn explains the different types of migraines we can get with varying causes and ways of prevention. We learn about abdominal migraines (who knew!), particularly in children, ocular (eyes) and vestibular (ear) migraines and many more. And also Tension headaches, what they are, how to treat and prevent them. Kathryn also gives us her 3 very wise tips for life. We have the Book Collective where we continue to read from Glennon Doyle's Untamed. Jinty and Lou discuss chapters Aches to Attendants and why we should all be a bit more Alicia Keyes in situations! We talk about how we may become martyr's as well as mother's, and why it is important to keep doing the things we love. The big question is why Jinty and Lou weren't as wise as their daughters and realise it might have something to do with their book selections in the 80's! Join us in our first Wine Collective (see list of wines below) - a tasting which ends in plenty of laughter! Lou talks and drinks through her wine choices, the rosè Delacourt from M&S for £22 for a more affordable champagne and also The Queen of Beaujolais a Fleurie for a lighter red wine. Jinty has a fantastic non-alcoholic drink Jukes No 1 mixed with sparkling water, the flavours are citrus and herbs with pineapple husk a lovely fragrant alternative to an alcoholic wine.

In this weeks podcast Jinty and Lou welcome Nutritionist, author, chef, and all round fantastic woman, Emma Ellice-Flint to the Womenkind Collective. Emma is a clinical nutritional therapist, specialising in Women's health. Her book, The Happy Hormone Cook book, combines nutritional facts and information to help balance our hormones as well as great practical tips and recipes. Emma works with Dr Louise Newson at the Menopause and Wellbeing Centre, helping women with the menopause transition, energy levels, weight issues, mood and mental health, sleep problems, IBS and histamine intolerance. Our Foodie Collective theme this month has been Gut health and this is a subject Emma is passionate about, running regular fermentation workshops (online) which Jinty has attended and says ‘they are fun, informative & demonstrate how easy it is to begin your fermented foods journey, which not only will your gut thank you for, but your body and mind too!' You will learn a lot in this episode, (get a pen & paper) Emma answers your questions such as My body has changed shape, all around my middle is expanding yet I've changed nothing, is there an explanation for this & what can I do? Why do I crave beige sugary foods ? Do women become more intolerant to certain foods during menopause? I'm suffering terribly with indigestion, I have constant trapped wind - the menopause seems to have changed me completely, what do I do? Is looking after my gut going to be expensive and a big faff? How will pro and pre biopics benefit me in menopause? Emma talks us through how food effects our mood, sleep and physical well-being. Why our hormones in peri and menopause make our gut and food choices change. We learn that we have oestrogen receptors throughout our body, including our gut. We discuss intermittent fasting and breaking our bad food habits and creating new ones, and how this will benefit our gut, and consequently will improve our wellbeing. Emma tells us how we might begin to go about changing our diets and lifestyles, some of which will surprise you! The book Collective this week starts with part 1 and 2 of Glennon Doyle's Untamed and this book is already resonating with Jinty & Lou. Jinty talks about how we hide our real self and expectation. As women we can lose ourselves and be who we think we should be rather than who we really are. Lou talks about how All feelings are for feeling, it's not just happy it's all emotions that should be felt, being true to self and learning to feel. Jinty ponders on Glennon's ‘knowing' and how it is just like Yoga- learning to recognise truths and be aware of what is happening ‘right now'. We know this book will speak to many in the Collective. Let us know how you are getting on with it? We would really love to hear your thoughts. We have 3 wonderful tips for life from Emma Ellice-Flint, staying with our Foodie collective theme of gut health. You will want to hear these. Much gratitude to Emma for spending the morning with us, we hope she will be back soon. & thank you for listening, if you enjoyed this episode please share with friends, this, in itself, is an act of kindness.

In this week's episode of Womenkind Collective we celebrate Earth day on April 22, We recognise Mother Nature and the different planet friendly sanitary products available for women and girls and we have a Moon Cup story from one of our Collective. Out topic this week is HRT myth busting, we try and solve some of the questions asked by the collective and go through the different types of HRT that are available on the NHS. One of our amazing Collective Annie comes on to talk about her initial visit to her GP and unfortunately we learn her experience is not unusual. Our topic of HRT myth busting starts with Jinty going through all the different types of HRT that are available on the NHS and how as women we do have choices that we can take to our GP's with what would be most suitable for us and our lifestyle. There is a difference between men and women's sexual problems; the women talk about the divide and how this needs to be addressed. The Women have researched planet friendly varieties of sanitary wear and why we should be looking to buy from small companies, among the products are, period pants, re-usable pads and moon cups. Our new book for the book Collective is Glennon Doyle's Untamed, a book about being authentic and truthful to yourself as a woman, we are going to read parts 1 and 2 and discuss this in next week's episode. The Women talk about wine for the Collective ready for the end of the month. There is an alcohol free option that gets the thumbs up from Jinty. Lou gives Jinty a WI that Jinty is glad isn't another crotchet project! The 3 tips for life come from Jinty and Lou's daughters, with surprising tips that leave both mum's feeling super proud and reaching for the tissues, they discuss being authentic and true to yourself.

Sierra shares an incredibly moving and empowering passage from Glennon Doyle's "Untamed". We discuss the importance of reconnecting with your intuition (or "knowing") and cultivating trust in oneself rather than seeking it from outside sources, and recognizing when you're acting from a place of guilt or obligation to others.
In this episode of Book Talk Tuesday on An Accidentally Beautiful Life I discuss Glennon Doyle's UnTamed.

A Sassy Little Podcast for Getting Over It with Sandra Ann Miller
Been there, done that, literally have the t-shirt and still have more to give. Stalking your way into a friendship. You only get old if you're lucky. Ageism is the last acceptable bias. Being Gen X. Having to leave jobs off your CV to mask your age. Going after a job you once held and laughably being told they're looking for someone "more qualified". Too young, not enough experience, at the age of getting married or having children, too old, not the right experience—women constantly face something related to ageism in their careers. Working with rock stars and drug addicts give you special skills, including patience. We've come a long way, but it wasn't that long ago a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's co-signing/permission. The Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967 offers protection to workers 40+ but does not provide for damages (call your Senators and Congress Reps!). Glennon Doyle's UNTAMED. Pink tax repeal and the power of a female legislature. Making sure that your diversity plan includes people over 50, especially BIPOC over 50. Not "growing out" of the F word, ballet flats in the mosh pit and getting riled up.You can find Gia at GiaDeSantis.com, Twitter and Facebook. Her book contributions include CRIME AND PUNKISHMENT and FOR WHOM THE COWBELL TOLLS: 25 YEARS OF PAUL'S BOUTIQUE. Her forthcoming documentary is about RequestVideo.

We had a couple of technical and recording issues today, so this episode has some cuts and edits in between all the random parts of the conversations. Mother's Day has some powerful feelings and stress around it for many people. We dive right into discussing the pain and issues that old wounds bring up for us, about fitting into a perfect label. Talking about the fears and our feelings of worth is a part of this. Sometimes these feelings and traumas cut across generations, and shapes up that we need to work on ancestral healing and Healing the Mother Wound. Heather recommends Pixie Lighthorse's workshops at: https://www.pixielighthorse.com/transforming-mother-wound/Amy recommends "So You Think You're Intuitive" Podcast at: https://natalie-miles.com/podcasts/ Heather also recommends Mark Wolynn's "It Didn't Start With You" (https://www.markwolynn.com/book/)for working through family history and traumas. We're working on Listening and Facing Fears right now, working through the feelings and situations around us. We've made it through the "unknown" so far, and are using the things we've learned to help ourselves and our own mental health. We've both recently picked up Glennon Doyle's Untamed (https://untamedbook.com) and Amy highly recommends the daily conversations Glennon holds online.Amy shares a moment that Heather asked about a specific pain and how she dealt with it. Sometimes, if you can find the part of your body that feels the actual pain, then maybe that helps you to tune in to what's really going on. Our bodies tell us - headaches, gut-punches, bone-tired - how do you listen to your body? As human beings, feelings roll through us all day long. Why do we expect to always be happy or expect those around us to only be one emotion? Why do we apologize for saying "I'm having a hard time right now."? We both note that bullet journaling is not a fit for us because we can't just narrow it down to one feeling all day. Next we talk about chickens and chicken life, and how we're drawn to the winged creatures in our life. To wrap up today's chat, Amy talks about needing to make wax for her chalk painting line of waxes and paints, currently on sale at Gatherings in Georgetown. It's a multi-faceted conversation all around!
