This isn’t just a meditation—it’s a reclamation.

In this Tea Time sesh, Amanda guides you through a powerful practice to release pain, reclaim your power, and come back home to yourself.

You’ll be guided to breathe, feel where your pain lives in your body, and reimagine it as energy you can release—reminding yourself that your story doesn’t end in what happened to you…it rises in who you choose to become.

Also, in honor of Denim Day and Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Amanda introduces the Own Your Sexy Campaign—a movement rooted in taking your power back on your terms.

As a survivor of intimate partner and sexual violence, Amanda holds space for you to feel, move, and transform what’s been heavy into something that empowers you.

10% of proceeds from the Dare to Be Iconic Shop and Own Your Sexy bundles will be donated to organizations supporting survivors of sexual and dating violence—because healing is personal, but impact is collective.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses dating violence / intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and PTSD.

Healing out loud starts here, radiant icons.

In today’s Tea Time sesh, Amanda gets real about a moment that shifted her healing journey—a PTSD flashback that left her feeling completely disconnected from her body.

What started as a normal heels dance class quickly turned into something deeper- a realization of how much trauma can live in the body, and how hard it can be to feel safe within yourself again.

Amanda opens up about how her past experiences have shaped her sense of safety, trust, and self-connection—and what it’s looked like to slowly rebuild that relationship with her body. She shares the tools that have helped her begin to come home to herself again.

Because this isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about learning to feel safe in your body again.

No pressure. No timelines. No pretending.

Just freedom, trust, and healing out loud—on your terms.

She also breaks down why the relationship you have with yourself is the most iconic one you’ll ever have—and shares actionable steps to start becoming your own best friend today. Plus, the DTBI Hotline is back, answering real questions about loneliness, self-trust, and the courage to stand boldly on your own.

Your power isn’t found. You own it.

In today’s tea time sesh, Amanda sits down with JJ, founder of The MVMNT Lab, a Pilates and wellness studio in Kissimmee, Florida, to talk about daring to be yourself, choosing yourself as an entrepreneur, and building a community that lifts everyone up.

JJ gets real about the highs, the lows, and the moments of imposter syndrome that come with starting something new—and how trusting the process is part of stepping into your power. They break down why movement is medicine, how Pilates supports your mind, body, and confidence, and why community is one of the most underrated tools for healing.

This episode is your wake-up call to stop shrinking, stop waiting for permission, and start reconnecting with your body, your voice, and your power.

JJ and Amanda also give a sneak peek of the Dare To Move wellness event on Saturday, April 25—a space to break up with the past, fall in love with your future, and step fully into your iconic self through movement, affirmations, and intentional journaling.

You don’t become sexy. You reclaim it.

In today’s tea time sesh, Amanda gets real about her “sexy 27” chapter—and why it’s been one of the hardest seasons of her life.

What was supposed to feel fun, confident, and carefree turned into something deeper: healing out loud. As Amanda unpacks the impact of a past violent relationship, she shares how trauma shaped her self-image, trust, and relationship with her own body—and the truth she’s learning now.

This episode is your wake-up call to stop letting trauma, society, or anyone else define your worth, your body, or your power.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to feel confident, or questioned what “sexy” even means for you—this is your permission slip to take it back.

Amanda breaks down her Own Your Sexy guide with four pillars to help you rebuild that connection.

From setting boundaries and choosing yourself to movement, self-expression, and creating a life that feels good—this is about owning every part of your becoming, even the messy ones.

No shame. No shrinking. No asking for permission.

Just power, freedom, and confidence—on your terms.

🎧 Press play and start reclaiming your sexy.

Radiant Icon… it’s time for some anniversary tea. ☕✨

As Dare To Be Iconic podcast approaches its two-year anniversary (March 27), Amanda is looking back at six unforgettable Everyday Icon moments that perfectly capture what this community is all about: choosing yourself, daring to grow, and embracing your most authentic life.

From writing badass heroines and embracing reinvention, to protecting your peace, reclaiming fangirl culture, and leaning on friendship during heartbreak—these conversations remind us that being iconic isn’t about perfection… it’s about courage.

Amanda also shares details about the upcoming DTBI Iconic Behavior Masterclass: Break Up With The Past, Fall In Love With The Future on March 22nd, where she’ll be teaching her signature framework for turning pain into power.
