In this episode, Amanda shares her relatable recovery journey from diet culture and restrictive habits that left her moody, stressed, and disconnected. Exercise and being the "fit girl" became her identity, but she reached a breaking point where change was necessary. Amanda talks about the physical and mental challenges of recovery, including body changes and mindset shifts.
A transformative moment in her journey was attending The Rest Retreat, where she found community, connection, and the courage to nourish herself alongside other women. Seeing others embrace recovery helped her let go of isolation and rebuild her health. Now, as a thriving mother, Amanda reflects on how recovery has made her more present and joyful.
Tune in for her inspiring story of resilience and the power of healing in community.
