Fascination Over Control: Birth, Healing, and Becoming with Amanda Lea

086: What happens when life arrives with a plan entirely different from the one you thought you needed? In this raw, expansive conversation, master hypnotherapist Amanda Lea shares the moments that asked her to loosen her grip, meet herself more honestly, and discover a deeper reason to stay present for her own life. This is an episode about the beautiful, complicated mosaic of becoming—and allowing every piece of your story to belong.
