Has your family, society, or your own self put you in a box and created an identity that suddenly feels inauthentic? Are you awakening to a reality that your conditioning has defined who you are instead of you defining who you are?

Join Amanda and her guest Betsy Pepine, author of "Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes that Bind Us" for a deeper look into how people and the world around us have the power to shape us into who they think we should be with tactics like judgment and expectation. Break through your own box as you listen to this enlightening and empowering conversation between two women who have witnessed and broken down their own boxes on their journey toward true authenticity.

A few boxes and topics they explore include:

• The "Good Mom" box and how striving to appear like a good mom is actually doing a disservice to your child
• The "Good Daughter" box and the pressure parents place on their children to be what they want them to be instead of honoring and allowing them to be who they are
• The "Single Mom" box and the judgment that comes with being older and single
• Reasons why we stay in these boxes and how to break free from them
• Somatic therapies like EMDR, bioenergetics, and breathwork as a pathway to healing trauma
• Betsy's favorite word, "next," and how she uses that word to dismiss the notion of failure and keep moving forward when things don't go as planned
