What if the things you've spent your entire life searching for were never outside of you to begin with?

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Manders Mindset, host Amanda Russo sits down with speaker, author, coach, and founder of Angel Goddess Healing, Shannon Curtis, for a powerful conversation about trauma, addiction, grief, forgiveness, healing, and the journey back to self.

Shannon opens up about the experiences that shaped her life, from childhood struggles and multiple miscarriages to a seven-year addiction to prescription pain medication and the life-changing decision to seek help. Together, Amanda and Shannon explore what happens when we stop running from our pain, how curiosity can be more powerful than judgment, and why true healing begins when we remember who we are beneath the stories we've collected along the way.

The conversation dives into forgiveness, self-love, spirituality, inner child healing, plant medicine, intuition, and the profound realization that so many of us spend years searching for something we've carried within us all along.

This episode is a reminder that you are not your mistakes, your trauma, your addiction, or your past.
At your core, you are love.
