In this episode, Amanda dives into one of the most common questions she hears from parents:

“If we don’t practice a religion… what do we teach our kids about life, death, intuition, and meaning?”

Whether you’re spiritual-but-not-religious, deconstructing old beliefs, or simply wanting to raise emotionally intelligent, intuitive children in a grounded way — this episode will give you clarity, language, and confidence.

Amanda explores the developmental psychology behind intuitive children, how to talk about spirituality without fear or dogma, and how nature can become a family’s greatest teacher. She shares personal stories from her own children, practical tools for grounding intuitive kids, and guidance on breaking your own inherited religious fear cycle.

This is a warm, grounding episode filled with wisdom, real-life examples, and permission to let your child trust themselves.

In this heartfelt return to the podcast, Amanda opens up about life’s recent heaviness, the overwhelm of the world, and the deep grief of losing her beloved Reiki master, Lourdes Grey. She shares the powerful impact Lourdes and her husband John Grey (one of Hawayo Takata’s original Reiki students) had on her spiritual path and how their teachings continue to shape her work today.

Amanda speaks openly about what she experiences as a medium — what really happens when we die, why our souls choose to come to Earth, and the beautiful frequency of the other side. She explores how grounding in nature and practicing gratitude can raise our vibration, making it easier to feel the presence of loved ones who have passed.

This episode includes a gentle guided meditation to help you sit with grief, soften your heart, and allow gratitude to rise.

Topics include:
• Grief, loss, and spiritual lineage
• What mediums experience about the afterlife
• How gratitude lifts our vibration
• Nature as a grounding anchor
• Feeling loved ones in higher frequency
• A guided meditation for grief + gratitude

Perfect for anyone navigating grief, seeking grounding, or craving a deeper understanding of the soul’s journey.

Welcome back to That’s What She Said! In this episode, I dive into what I’m calling the Lilith Era—a time when women are no longer shrinking into “little lady” stereotypes, but reclaiming our power as creators, leaders, and warriors.

We’ll explore:
✨ Who Lilith really was—and why her story was rewritten to demonize feminine power.
✨ The biology of women’s strength, endurance, and emotional intelligence under pressure.
✨ Historical and modern societies that flourished under female leadership.
✨ The myth of “fragile, emotional women” vs. the reality of emotional intelligence in leadership.
✨ Real examples of women warriors—from Vikings to the Dahomey Amazons to resistance fighters.
✨ How reclaiming feminine energy could rebalance politics, culture, and community today.

I’ll also share personal reflections on strength, community, and what it means to truly step into your Lilith energy.
