In this deeply honest and emotionally resonant episode of Quiet Connection, Chelsea sits down with Amanda Curry, a physical therapist turned somatic healing guide, to explore her transformational journey through motherhood, postpartum mental health, and the powerful awakening that came through inner child work and breathwork. 

Amanda opens up about her struggles with postpartum rage, the shame of feeling disconnected, and how societal expectations and unhealed trauma shaped her early motherhood experience. She shares how listening to her intuition, embracing somatic healing, and finding supportive community allowed her to finally reconnect with herself and step into empowered motherhood. 

If you’ve ever felt rage, guilt, or emotional disconnection in motherhood, you are not broken. You are not alone. This conversation is for you.

• There’s no shame in struggling. Healing is messy but worth it.
