Some episodes are meant to teach.
This one just needed to breathe.
In this quiet minisode, Amanda opens her heart and invites you into a moment of stillness. It's been one year since her dad passed, and just weeks since saying goodbye to Disco, her beloved kitten with the world's biggest personality.
Instead of rushing through grief, she's learning to pause inside it and to let the ache and the love coexist. This isn't a how-to or a fix. It's a soft place to land.
Through gentle breathing and reflection, Amanda holds space for anyone navigating loss, change, or the quiet chaos of healing. Together, you'll breathe in love, exhale release, and remember that you're still here.
So grab a blanket. Get still. Let yourself feel it all.
