  • 07 We’re All Getting Coal for Christmas (So Light the MF Grill)
    2025/10/11

    We’re all getting coal for Christmas—and this year, we’re lighting the damn grill. 🔥

    In this episode, Amanda flips the holiday script and reminds you that peace isn’t a December miracle—it’s an October practice. We’re talking breathwork, boundaries, and the art of saying no before the chaos begins.

    You’ll learn how to stop managing everyone else’s emotions, turn your “coal” moments into fuel, and prep for a season that feels nourishing instead of nerve-wracking. Think of it as pre-season training for joy.

  • 08 Delight Like You Mean It (Because Hustle Won’t Hug You Back)
    2025/10/04
    Show Notes

    Ever catch yourself postponing joy like it’s a luxury item you’ve got to “earn”? Same. In this week’s episode Amanda calls BS on hustle-culture guilt trips and reminds us: delight is not a dessert—it’s a daily nutrient.

    We kick things off with breathwork that feels like unclenching your whole body after a week of pretending you’re fine (spoiler: you’re not). Then we dive headfirst into the two flavors of delight:

    Treat Delight = naps, cupcakes, and bougie lattes.
    Task Delight = that dopamine rush from finally paying the bill, folding the laundry, or ungluing your inbox.

    Both matter. Both count. Both shift your energy from “meh” to magic.

    You’ll hear about the sneaky ways we postpone delight (perfectionism, guilt, hustle addiction) and how flipping the script turns delight into a resource instead of a reward. Amanda even spills her own task + treat delights of the week—and invites you to toot toot your wins right alongside her.

    Because honestly? Life’s too short to save your joy for later.

    This week’s crown goes to anyone brave enough to celebrate clean countertops like they’re a Beyoncé concert. Task delight is a vibe—own it. I am also celebrating Mikki this week of @passionthreadsco. Check out her episode from Season 1 here.

    🔥 Sound Bites

    • "Delight doesn’t discriminate."

    • "Postponing delight is postponing life."

    • "What delight will shift my energy today?"

    • "Both treat and task delights are medicine."

    💡 Key Takeaways

    • Delight comes in a spectrum like flavors: treats (nourishment) and tasks (relief).

    • Finishing something gives your brain a natural “ta-da!” hit of dopamine.

    • Hustle culture has tricked us into thinking joy is frivolous—spoiler: it’s not.

    • Delight is a resource you can choose daily, not a prize you earn someday.

    • Permission granted: your delight matters, no matter how small.

  • 07 Why Your Soul Needs Dessert (Every Damn Day)
    2025/09/27

    Ever feel like your to-do list is auditioning for a horror movie? Same. In this episode of The Soul Fork, Amanda flips the script on overwhelm and never-ending checklists by pulling out her secret weapon: The Soul Fork Method.

    Instead of choking down your chores like cold broccoli, what if you served them up like crème brûlée? From project plans built in Chat (because AI can actually be your wingman) to turning laundry into a mini party, Amanda shows how to stop surviving your list and start savoring it.

    Plus, we toot our horns for small wins, roast the idea of “perfection,” and remind you that self-care isn’t just bubble baths—it’s boundaries, badassery, and reframing that pile of tasks into treats.

    💫 New Ep Drop: “Permission to Process” 💫

    In this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda Lazenby takes you on a grounding ride — part meditation, part real talk, all heart. With mindfulness at the center, she unpacks the messiness of grief, the medicine of playfulness, and the beauty of processing emotions instead of just reacting.

    Amanda reflects on her own journey, sharing how tuning into life’s cues (the heavy vs. the light, the pause vs. the push) can unlock self-reflection and personal growth. From breathwork to celebrating small wins, this convo reminds us that emotional health, community, and self-care are the real flex.

    And yep — there’s even an invite to the podcast’s virtual b-day bash 🎂💿✨ because celebrating is part of healing, too.

With honesty and care, she shares how breathwork, movement, and mindful self-care can shift us through emotional heaviness, especially in seasons of grief.
