This episode moves through meaningful and layered territory, weaving together culture, fear, embodiment, storytelling, and what it truly means to live and speak from a place of authenticity.

Dr. Sarah Jefferis joins me for a conversation that begins with a cultural moment many people are quietly wrestling with and gradually unfolds into something much more personal: how fear shapes the narratives we carry, how it settles into the body, and how we gently begin returning to ourselves.

We explore what it means to believe women, how fear creates convincing internal stories that feel true even when they are not, and how easily we learn to armor up in order to survive. From there, the conversation softens into something deeper as we talk about slowing down, reconnecting with the body, and finding our voice again through presence, breath, writing, and honest reflection.

Sarah shares selections from her poetry and reflects on the heart behind her new book, touching on the complex relationship between luck and loss, love and grief, and the quiet resilience that often lives beneath both.

If you have ever felt the weight of fear in your body, questioned your own voice, or sensed that there is a more honest way to live than the one fear has offered you, this conversation will resonate. It is thoughtful, vulnerable, and expansive in a way that lingers long after the episode ends.

This episode includes vulnerable moments that may feel emotionally tender. Please listen at your own pace and take breaks if needed.

So many of us were never taught how to trust ourselves-only how to perform, comply, overthink, and look outside of ourselves for answers. In this conversation, I sit down with Lynn Bunch for a deeply human, grounding discussion about intuition, self-trust, and what happens when we slowly forget how to listen to our own inner knowing.

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself or learning something new. It’s about remembering what’s already been there beneath the noise, the judgment, and the conditioning. We talk about how self-trust gets covered over time, why judgment blocks our inner guidance, and how presence, discernment, and compassion quietly lead us back home to ourselves.

I encourage you to listen all the way through. Near the end, Lynn shares a truth that stopped me in my tracks and brought me to tears. It was deeply honest and something I didn’t realize I needed to hear.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your intuition, unsure of your own voice, or tired of outsourcing your wisdom, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, and remember yourself again.

What happens when the life you’ve built no longer fits the truth you feel inside?

In this episode of Holding Space with Authentically Amy, Tara Wiskow shares her powerful transition from a 13-year career as a weight loss and mindset coach into fully embracing her calling as an intuitive healer. Together, we explore what it really means to choose authenticity when it risks judgment, misunderstanding, or abandonment, and why that choice is often the doorway to everything we’ve been searching for.

We talk about authenticity as a frequency, why it requires releasing identities that once kept us safe, and how self-love becomes the foundation for true leadership and healing. Tara opens up about the role grief, intuition, and energy awareness played in her awakening, while we unpack practical ways to protect your energy without closing your heart.

This conversation is for anyone who feels the pull toward something more honest, more embodied, and more aligned—but isn’t quite sure how to trust it yet.

If you’ve been standing at the edge of your next becoming, this episode offers both permission and reassurance that you’re not alone, and that authenticity, even when it feels uncomfortable, is always worth it.
