Big Shift Energy

The end of the year loves to pressure us into neat little boxes: Highs. Lows. Wins. Fails. But real life? Messier. Quieter. Way more interesting. In this episode, Amanda invites you to ditch the performative year-end recap and try something more honest: intentional reflection that actually honors who you became and not just what you accomplished. Instead of asking “What went right or wrong?”, Amanda asks the BIG SHIFT questions like: Where did you choose yourself? What still counts, even if no one clapped? What parts of you showed up quietly but consistently? You’ll explore...

In this episode, Amanda walks you through how to create a bubble of protection: a soft, breathable boundary that keeps you grounded, regulated, and self-led. This isn’t about shutting the world out. It’s about choosing what gets access. We talk about energetic hygiene, daily maintenance practices, and how to protect your nervous system without becoming rigid or closed off. This episode also includes grounding resources for anyone who doesn’t feel emotionally or physically safe right now because protection is not optional, and support is not weakness. You’ll leave with simple practices...

Ever leave a room, a holiday gathering, or a “quick coffee” and think… Why do I feel like I left parts of myself in three different conversations? Yeah. Same. In this episode, Amanda guides you through a short, grounding meditation designed for after people-time when your energy feels scattered, stretched thin, or not quite yours anymore. This isn’t a “clear your chakras and manifest abundance” situation. It’s a practical, protective, non-woo reset that helps you come back into your body, reclaim your attention, and remember that you don’t need permission to rest. You’ll...

In this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda guides listeners through the soft world of micro-joys, or the tiny sensory sparks that help you feel just a little less crispy, even in the middle of stress, grief, or emotional burnout.

Big Shift Energy

Amanda explores the “buffering” phase — that floaty, slowed-down feeling after upheaval where you’re still processing and not yet ready to sprint. The episode normalizes emotional lag, offers grounding somatic exercises, and suggests tiny actions (not productivity tasks) that help you feel safe and choose your next step with clarity. 🌈 Key Takeaways This episode is for the weird, floaty feeling that arrives after big change. Buffering is legitimate processing, not failure. Emotional lag is normal. Your body is catching up. Tiny, safe actions are the real breadcrumbs for...

If you’re heading into the holidays already running on fumes, this one’s for you. Amanda opens the door to a season that feels both tender and tiring — the holidays, with all their glitter and grief.

The end of the year loves to pressure us into neat little boxes:
Highs. Lows. Wins. Fails.
But real life? Messier. Quieter. Way more interesting.

In this episode, Amanda invites you to ditch the performative year-end recap and try something more honest: intentional reflection that actually honors who you became and not just what you accomplished.

Instead of asking “What went right or wrong?”, Amanda asks the BIG SHIFT questions like:

  • Where did you choose yourself?

  • What still counts, even if no one clapped?

  • What parts of you showed up quietly but consistently?

You’ll explore creative reflection tools like the Still Counts List and the Quiet Flex. These are gentle ways to acknowledge your resilience, self-respect, and growth without needing metrics or a dramatic transformation story.

This episode is a reminder that:

  • You don’t need evidence to begin again.

  • Your life isn’t a productivity report.

  • Your life is art... and you’re the artist.

Press play if you want to close the year grounded, honest, and spacious to say "HELL YEAH, I DID THIS" without rushing or rewriting your story to make it more palatable for other people.

🫧 What You’ll Take With You

  • You don’t need “highs and lows” to reflect meaningfully

  • Quiet moments can be the ones that shape you most

  • Resilience counts, even when it wasn’t pretty

  • You get to decide what you carry into the next season

  • You are allowed to let go without making it dramatic

  • You don’t need proof. You are the proof

  • Creating space is just as powerful as setting goals

🌱 Gentle Shift for the Week

Instead of rating your year by highs and lows, name one moment that still counts.
A choice you made. A boundary you held. A way you showed up for yourself: quietly, imperfectly, without applause. If it mattered to you, it counts.

🎙️ Sound Bites Worth Sitting With

  • “You don't need the evidence. You are the evidence. Your gut is your evidence. Do it.”

  • “Love on the past version of you. Love on the one that's going to the end this terminal to get on this plane and love that version of you in the future.”

  • “Your life is art. So be you. You just gotta show up and that's what's really important.”
