When Amanda first sat down to build an online course, she didn’t realize she was beginning a nine-year conversation with herself. Outwardly she held everything together; inwardly she felt like she was quietly falling apart. That pressure — the exhaustion, the disconnection from purpose, the fraying sense of self — became the spark that led her to gather every tool, note and insight she’d collected over years of training into a single map: the Human Thrive Method.

This episode takes you behind the scenes of that making. Listen as Amanda traces the slow, patient work of turning scattered learning into a deliberate seven-stage journey: self-awareness, self-acceptance, identity recode, confidence and self-trust, soul-purpose activation, aligned action, and integration. Each stage is a chapter in a larger story of becoming, a sequence that moves you from noticing old patterns to living a life shaped by new, embodied beliefs.

The method is equal parts practical technique and tender inner work. Amanda shares how nervous-system regulation, neuro-linguistic programming and simple daily practices layered together to rebuild her sense of safety. She explains why beliefs formed in childhood can keep you small — and how, with the right sequence, those beliefs can be updated so your actions finally match who you want to be.

Halfway through the episode she teaches a compact, powerful NLP identity anchor you can use while you listen: recall a moment when you felt truly yourself — calm, confident, grounded, capable — relive it with sight, sound and feeling, and squeeze your thumb and index finger together while saying, “This is who I am becoming again.” Release, and use that squeeze anywhere you need to access that version of you. It’s a practical door back to embodied confidence.

She also offers a quiet journaling prompt that immediately reconnects you to your inner world: which part of me is asking to be seen right now? No fixing, no pressure — simply seeing. That short practice, Amanda explains, creates emotional safety, and safety is where meaningful change can begin.

By the end of the episode you’ll understand how small techniques and deep re-patterning combine into a single path toward living with clarity and purpose. Amanda describes the upcoming six-month cohort starting in January — live coaching, steady support, and the chance to travel these seven stages with others — and invites listeners who feel the pull to reach out and learn more.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of pretending they’re fine and ready to become the next version of themselves. It’s a welcome into a method born from real struggle and refined into practical practices that help you anchor, act, and integrate the life you were meant to live.
