How To Love Yourself No Matter What

Today, amidst the snowfall in Kamloops, we're diving into a captivating discussion about comparison. Join me as we challenge the narrative that comparison is the thief of joy and explore why negative judgment, not comparison itself, is the real culprit. In this episode, we unravel the intricacies of comparison, acknowledging its natural existence in our minds. Instead of pushing it away, we discover the power of getting curious about why we compare and how our judgments play a pivotal role. Drawing on the idea that comparison is as inherent as breathing, we explore why attempting to eliminate it is counterproductive to our self-esteem and confidence. Tune in to learn practical visualization techniques to let go of unproductive beliefs and judgments. Discover how comparison can be a neutral force and how our conscious thought processes can reshape our perceptions. As we navigate through the podcast, we explore body image, self-esteem, and money, emphasizing the importance of setting our own baselines. Ultimately, the goal is to empower you to consciously craft thoughts that elevate your baseline. Let's redefine beauty, success, and fulfillment in a way that supports your unique journey. Join me in this episode to discover the transformative power of embracing curiosity and building a foundation for emotional health, resilience, and joy. 🎙️ Ready to shift your perspective?

Self-Love.  It's a much talked about subject that is often massively misunderstood.  If you are neurodivergent, been told you are mentally ill or going through emotional distress, self-love is the number one thing that will take you out of emotional pain.  How to love yourself no matter what was the original title of this podcast.  Today i am bringing it back.  You deserve to love yourself.  It will change everything.  Let's go.I am teaching a free audio training on how to deal with anxiety with a neurodivergent brain:  REGISTER HERELet's be friends on Instagram.  Find me @amandahess.caInterested in working with me?

In this podcast episode, I'm thrilled to announce a new training program that's dedicated to helping individuals with neurodivergent brains effectively handle and manage anxiety. We understand that this can be especially challenging for those who have experienced trauma or received a mental illness diagnosis. The best part? This training is entirely free. All you need to do is sign up on our waitlist at joinamanda.ca, and it will be ready for you soon.Now, let's dive into the heart of this episode.First and foremost, let's talk about building emotional capacity. Emotional capacity is an essential aspect of our emotional well-being, and it's something I want to delve into today. It's all about our ability to feel both negative and positive emotions in a manageable way. I know that for those of us who struggle with our emotions, especially the negative ones, it can be a real challenge to experience joy or pleasure. That's why we're going to explore the importance of creating space for our emotions without being overwhelmed.The primary tool we're going to focus on for building emotional capacity is something I like to call "silence." Now, it's important to note that silence doesn't mean absolute absence of sound. It's about finding moments of stillness where you can pay attention to your body, your breath, and your senses. In fact, during this episode, I'll guide you through a brief exercise where we'll take a few moments to focus on our breath.Now, many of us with neurodivergent brains often grapple with the feeling that we're "doing it wrong." Society's expectations and standards can make us feel like we're not measuring up, and that can be paralyzing. What's crucial to remember is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You have the power to create a practice that works for you, one that respects your unique needs and strengths.As we wrap up this episode, I want to extend a warm invitation to connect with me on Instagram. My handle has recently changed to "the Amanda Hess." I would love to engage with you, hear your thoughts on the practices we've discussed, and learn about your experiences in implementing them in your life.To sum it up, this episode has provided an introduction to the concept of building emotional capacity, with a specific focus on using silence as a valuable tool. It encourages self-reflection, self-acceptance, and offers insights that are particularly relevant to those with neurodivergent brains. Thanks for joining me, and I look forward to sharing more with you in the future.Interested in working with me?

Disappointing other people feels  hard.  Full stop. It's hard.  We don't want to do this as women.  The part we miss thought is that it is also completely necessary.  Women are raised to be people pleasers.  We are raised to believe that it's our damn job to ensure that other people are happy.  Many of us neurodivergent women have experienced significant trauma and people pleasing becomes an involuntary trauma response.That being said, disappointing people is something we need to learn how to do.  It's an art.  It requires a fair amount of discomfort, combined with learning how to lean into our values.  Most women I meet are completely unaware of their personal values, so if this includes you, don't click away.  Today's episode is going to teach you exactly how to create your own personal value system so that you can start disappointing others and stop disappointing yourself.You are going to want to save this one.Book that 20 minute free coaching session with Amanda: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/miniInterested in working with me?

Hey, it's Amanda here, and I'm thrilled to have you join me for today's episode. We're diving deep into the art of rewriting our life stories, and this one's especially for my fellow neurodivergent women.Have you ever noticed how we tend to tell ourselves stories about who we are? Sometimes we label ourselves as "too much" or "too emotional." But here's the thing: these stories are often based on old beliefs formed in childhood, like muscle memory for our minds.In this episode, I want to challenge those narratives. Let's question why we believe these stories and where they really come from. I'll show you how these beliefs shape your interactions with the world and how they can hold you back.But here's the exciting part: you can change the story. I'll guide you through the process of becoming the heroine in your own narrative. It's about having the courage to see your qualities in a new light and embracing them as strengths.We'll also explore the brain's natural tendency to focus on the negative and how to shift that perspective. And remember, being different can be exceptional.To help you get started on this empowering journey, I'm offering free 20-minute coaching sessions. Just head over to joinamanda.ca to sign up. It's time to take control of your narrative and rewrite your story as the hero you truly are.So, grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and let's dive into this transformative episode together.

Hey there, welcome to the podcast! Today, I'm diving into something that's been on my mind a lot, and I bet you've thought about it too. You know that feeling when you're absolutely convinced you should be doing something, but you just can't seem to take that first step? It's a struggle many of us face, and it's even more pronounced for those of us who are neurodivergent. We've spent a long time trying to fit into a world that doesn't always understand us. So, we often turn to self-help books, right? I've read my fair share, and they've had their moments, but lately, I've noticed something. It's not about needing more information; it's about something deeper. We become information hoarders, thinking that the next book or course will finally reveal the magic formula to make us do what we want. But let's be real – it's not that simple. I mean, I've struggled with completing things in my life, like not finishing university. Society makes us believe that not having that degree equals failure. And we do this in various aspects of our lives, constantly seeking that one thing that will make us feel confident and comfortable with change. Now, here's the thing: comfort in change is a bit of a unicorn. It's elusive. But it doesn't have to be painful either. There's a middle ground. We often think something's wrong with us when we get scared, shut down, or quit. I've been there myself, and I see it in my clients too. We chase after someone who promises certainty, a step-by-step guide, a shiny object that tells us what to do. But life isn't that predictable. There's a unique level of risk in our pursuits, and it's not the same as someone else's journey. The point is, you're not alone in feeling like a quitter or that you're just not getting it. I've been there, and I'm sure many of you have too. But here's the kicker – it's okay not to be good at everything. It's not about shoulds; it's about finding what truly works for you. Think of life as a dance. You're not on a fixed path; you're dancing. It's about learning what steps work best for you, just like in figure skating. Not everyone can do every move, but that doesn't make you any less of a skater. So, let's ditch the "shoulds" and explore what really makes us tick. It's a journey, not a destination. And I promise you, it's liberating. Join me in a free workshop to dive deeper into this. You don't need to conform to what society says you should do; you can create your unique path to confidence and fulfillment. I hope this episode inspires you to rethink your approach and consider that maybe you shouldn't always follow the traditional route. There's an exciting, authentic journey waiting for you.You can register for the workshop: How To Get Your Sh*t Together With Your Neurodivergent Brain here: https://amandahess.ca/workshopInterested in working with me?

People pleasing is something that so many of us women do.  Especially us neurodivergent entrepreneurs and leaders.  It can seem like people pleasing is "nice", but what it actually is, is a trauma response.  It's manipulating another person so that we can feel safe and ok.  It comes from trauma and conditioning.  And it keeps us stuck.Ultimately, people pleasing can be a hard thing to break, but it's something that you are really going to want to get aware of to create the results you want in your life.  Especially if they are different than the results you are creating in your life right now.Listen in to discover why people pleasing isn't nice, and what you need to stop doing it.Register for the Get Your Shit Together with Your Neurodivergent Brain Workshop here: amandahess.ca/workshop Interested in working with me?

This episode passionately argues that there's no problem with either approach; it's just our way of navigating the emotional landscape.This episode stresses the importance of recognizing that our emotional experiences fluctuate from day to day; we are not robots. Some days, certain things may deeply affect us, while on others, they won't faze us at all. I share my personal experience of accepting my emotional intensity and I offer guidance on how to handle those overwhelming days.For those who may feel they experience emotions less intensely, I remind you that there will still be moments when we feel empty or numb. Learning to build capacity for all emotional states is essential.In a world that often demands emotional resilience and capacity, this episode encourages us to honor our unique emotional journeys and equip ourselves with the necessary tools to navigate them effectively.

It's a common question; Did I overreact?  Was my reaction normal?  It can be tempting to source out whether we should have had the reaction that we had. But the truth is that overreacting is up to the person receiving whatever is happening.  It's subjective.  And it's not actually necessary to answer this question.  It's my belief that we are just reacting.  And we don't have to focus on the reaction, instead we want to focus on the result it is creating.  From there, we can start getting curious about all of the things that led us to this result and work on creating new results that serve us better.   No shame or judgement required.Want to book a free strategy session with Amanda?  you can book that HERECome be friends with Amanda on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theamandahess/Interested in working with me?

If you find yourself venting or complaining, you are definitely not alone.  It is very human to want to tell the story of how things are going wrong in your life.  It can also feel like you need to be validated in this.  But I need you to know that it's probably creating more problems than it's actually helping. This episode is going to dig deep into why we complain and what we are searching for when we do it.  Then I am going to show you exactly why you want to stop any time you notice it and exactly how to do that too.Here is the link to my podcast with Maggie Reyes: https://amandahess.ca/81-marriage-makeover-with-maggie-reyes/Here is the link to the podcast on Responsibility Hoarding: https://amandahess.ca/are-you-a-responsibility-hoarder/I am currently accepting three new clients in my 1:1 Coaching Practice.  Would you like to explore this?  Book a Strategy Session with Amanda here: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/strategyInterested in working with me?

Have you ever found yourself needing to protect your position on something that you feel certain about?  I did recently.  I was having a conversation with a good friend and I felt myself starting to "amor up" about this particular topic.  So it was a relief when this friend helped me see why I might not want to be so certain about that.  And it changed my entire outlook and decreased my anxiety 100%.  When we feel threatened, we crave safety.  One way we do this is through certainty.  Certainty is a version of "armoring up" that might be creating emotional problems that you don't really need.  Listen in to find out more.Book a free Strategy Session with Amanda: https://amandahesscoaching.as.me/callLet's be friends on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theamandahess/Interested in working with me?

We all have heard that setting goals is the what creates success, but so many of us are resistant to doing it.  Guess what?  It's not because you have a character flaw or personality problem.  Trauma plays a big role in not being able to set or maintain goals.  The reason why goal setting might feel like setting yourself on fire could be because of what happened to you in your past.  But that doesn't mean goal setting isn't for you, it just means we need to approach it differently.Book a Strategy Call with Amanda: Book a CallSign up for a Self-Care Masterclass: Self-Care MasterclassInterested in working with me?
