The Part Most People Don't Know

Shannon Miller has seven Olympic medals, nine world championship medals, and fourteen halls of fame. In 2011, she was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. The medals are what most people know. This conversation is about everything that came after them.

Amanda sits down with Betsy Vereckey to explore reinvention, courage, and what it looks like to rebuild your life when nothing is working the way you planned.

Together, they talk about divorce, starting over, and the unexpected decision that changed everything — leaving New York City for a small town in New Hampshire she only knew as her dog’s hometown. Betsy shares how that leap created space for healing, creativity, and ultimately, a completely new life.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, is navigating a major life transition, or is quietly wondering if it’s time to walk away from what no longer fits.

In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, Amanda sits down with Kendall Concini-Moore, author and creator of Cloudy Day Chronicles, to talk about navigating mental health, motherhood, and identity in real time.

Kendall shares how she learned to explain her depression to her young daughter using the language of “clouds,” creating a bridge for honest, age-appropriate conversations about hard emotions. Together, they explore breaking generational silence around mental health, releasing the pressure of perfect parenting, and learning how to ask for support.

This episode is a powerful reminder that honesty doesn’t create distance — it creates connection.
