What's all this talk about upgrading DNA, the unified field of consciousness, balancing divine masculine and feminine energy, and the untold story of Mary Magdelene? Not ringing a bell? Well, it's time you learn.

Join Amanda and her soul sister, V Ann Somoya, YTT 200 Kundalini Yoga trauma-informed facilitator with a master's in dance & somatics, for a special bonus episode about what is going on in the cosmos, and internally, that is forcing many to break familiar patterns, become love, and rise into the evolution of consciousness that if you are even slightly tuned into the prevailing energy, you just can't deny.

"Humans chose to relive the understanding of what consciousness is from God by going to a place where we lost it." -V Ann

We also dive incredibly deep into:

🔥 How Nassim Harramein has proven the unified field of consciousness that holds the polarity of Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energy (Google will tell you this is not proven—Check out https://nassimharamein.com/ and make your own decision)

🔥 Every human is encoded with divinity, and our DNA is being upgraded to embody the union of male and female within ourselves and also with each other

🔥 Humans exist in a dense polarized reality where everything seems separate, but it is not

🔥 Separation is intentional—to create pain which eventually delivers each of us to love & wholeness as divine beings

🔥 What it looks and feels like to be in your "light body"

🔥 Reclaiming divine feminine sensual and sexual presence, ease, and flow

🔥 Patriarchy was created to keep the information hidden that we are spiritual, sovereign, divine beings

🔥 How the breath is the medicine to clear trauma and break emotional patterns that do not serve you or the collective

🔥 Practices to align your gut-heart-brain with the frequency of love

Are you not going to the thing because you don't have the clothes to wear to the thing? Have you allowed your closet to hold you hostage instead of getting the pieces that make you feel great and give you confidence? Can you allow what you wear to do the heavy lifting for you? And have you considered the power you are giving your clothing over your life?

Join Amanda and her Polka Dot Powerhouse sister Monika Nielsen, your closet therapist, for a close up look at how the items in your closet are holding you back from living the life you want, why you feel guilty for getting rid of expensive items that you are never going to wear, and actionable steps to take to build a wardrobe that you love, instead of one that you "should" have.

The two friends chat casually and candidly about:

🔥How feeling uncomfortable in your clothes affects your connection with yourself and presence with others.

🔥Sunk cost fallacy: expensive clothes in your closet that you will never wear, and feel bad about not wearing, but refuse to donate because they were expensive

🔥Donations as a way to relieve your guilt for not wearing something; you are giving a gift to a person who would otherwise never get to have something so nice

🔥Are you a price-driven or emotion-driven shopper? And what that says about the clothes you pick

🔥How buying the pants that fit makes more sense than trying to fit into a size that does not, especially when trying to reach your "goal weight"

🔥How to let your body tell you if you love or hate a current piece in your wardrobe

🔥Color and how it works for or against you

🔥Enclothed cognition: The science behind how what you're wearing impacts the way you feel and behave as well as how you are perceived in the world.

🔥Why you should wear the clothes you love now. Don't wait for the special occasion.

Monika is a 1st generation purger with a heart for memories and community impact through thoughtful donations. She has helped hundreds of women over the years to edit and organize their closet and create wardrobes that reflect who they are-right here, right now. Because digging through clothes that don't fit your body or your life sends a subtle message that you don't deserve to feel today and that BS stops now. Whether it's through color analysis, closet edits, style workshops or personal shopping, you will get the clarity you need to curate the wardrobe you love. She's a wife of 30 years, a mom of 3, a 22-year educator, a history nerd and a lover of the mountains- just don't ask her to go camping!

Do you slog through your day like it's something to get through? Or do you seek to add small bits of enjoyment to each moment—even the mundane yet necessary tasks of life? We all know life is short. So make those low vibe, annoying and sometimes menial to-do's at work and home slightly more playful, and perhaps even joyful.

Join Amanda and her friend and Castle Rock neighbor, Acey Holmes, speaker, facilitator, researcher, and the founder of Playful Work Design, for a lively conversation about what it looks like to turn the grueling spreadsheet into something stimulating, interesting, and if you're creative enough, entertaining.

The friends also get into:

🔥 The definition of play & how it has very little to do with fun and games

🔥 The science behind play & the feel-good chemicals released when we enter a flow state

🔥 The importance of finding alternative and creative ways to approach work that is conducive to your learning style

🔥Acey's original template for a Playful Work Design in the workplace

🔥 Simple ways to reframe the most unenjoyable task into something interesting, making you more willing to do it

🔥 How play ignites your cognitive ability allowing for greater memory, critical thinking, and nonlinear thinking

🔥 The different types of play identities

Acey draws from neuroscience, psychology, and her background as a speech-language pathologist and educator to help organizations create environments where people can think more creatively, connect more meaningfully, and work more sustainably.

Her work explores the relationship between play, flow, resilience, belonging, and well-being, challenging the idea that engagement comes from working harder or doing more. Instead, she helps individuals and teams rediscover the conditions that allow humans to thrive.

Acey has spoken for organizations, conferences, and leadership groups across the country, including TEDx, SHRM, and industry associations. She is passionate about helping adults reconnect with curiosity, possibility, and the parts of themselves that often get left behind in the pursuit of productivity.
