209. Foot Zoning for Betrayal Trauma: How Your Feet Hold the Story of Your Body with Susan Child (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've experienced betrayal trauma, abuse, or divorce, you already know how deeply it lives in the body, not just the mind.

Read excerpt
If you've ever known something was wrong but couldn't quite let yourself fully see it — this episode is for you. Today I'm sharing a video I created called Stages of Denial: Denial, Awareness, and the Courage to See Things as They Really Are.

Read excerpt
What does it cost you to stay? What does it cost you to leave? And what happens when you have been stuck in that question so long you have stopped trusting yourself entirely? In this Summer Song Series episode, Amie is joined by her friend and former client Elizabeth Garnett to talk about a song Elizabeth wrote from the deepest part of her own healing journey. Stay or Go captures what so many women in the middle of this decision cannot find words for: the soul-level exhaustion of staying, the te
