25 Indecision is a Decision
In this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda unpacks the quiet energy drain of indecision — and why staying stuck is often a decision in itself. Rather than framing indecision as a flaw, Amanda explores it as a protective response rooted in fear, urgency, and the pressure to "get it right." Through grounded insights and practical reframes, this episode invites listeners to release all-or-nothing thinking, build confidence through small choices, and develop self-trust over time. Amanda reminds us that clarity doesn't arrive fully formed — it often follows confusion — and that caring for yourself while deciding is just as import...

24 Making Peace With Where You Spend Your Energy
When the world feels loud, urgent, and on fire, it's easy to feel like you're failing if you're not reacting fast enough — or loudly enough. In this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda invites us to slow down, arrive in the moment, and reconsider how we're spending our most valuable currency: our energy. Through mindfulness, breathwork, and an honest conversation about activism, Amanda challenges the idea that visibility equals impact — and that silence equals apathy. Using a marathon metaphor, she reminds us that not everyone is meant to run at the same pace or on the...
