Unmasking Her: Becoming Me
In this raw, unfiltered episode, Amanda shares her journey through the layers of pain, survival, and self-discovery that shaped her into the woman she is today. From the deep wounds of childhood molestation and growing up too fast, to navigating the overwhelming weight of being a teen mom, then a mother again in her 20s and 30s—this is a story of both heartbreak and hope.
She opens up about the invisible masks she wore to survive: the performer, the strong one, the caregiver who forgot to care for herself. Through it all—cycles of trauma, identity loss, and years in fight-or-flight—Amanda kept showing up, even when she didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror.
Then came the motorcycle accident. A life-altering moment that broke more than bones—it cracked open a healing path she didn’t know she needed. This episode is about finally telling the truth, choosing yourself without apology, and reclaiming your voice after years of silence.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lived a dozen lives just trying to survive one… this one’s for you.
Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse, trauma. Please listen with care.
