**Until Apple Podcasts Connect and Spotify for Creators platforms are able to share HSL Video, please watch the video version of this episode on Spotify or YouTube**Episode 125: This episode explores uncertainty tolerance, decision paralysis, risk tolerance, fear of the unknown, and the big life transitions that define the Millennial Identity Crisis — including whether to move, change careers, leave a relationship, or start completely over. If you're looking for practical decision-making frameworks that don't require you to have all the answers first, this one's for you.This week, Amanda explores her own uncertainty lately, and draws on the research of Simone Stolzoff — journalist, bestselling author of The Good Enough Job, and author ofthe new book How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World That Demands Answers. His work on uncertainty tolerance, decision-making science, and the psychology of risk is the backbone of the frameworks Amanda shares in this episode.CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don't forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 125: Your brain would rather take a guaranteed painful electric shock than sit with a 50/50 chance of getting one. That's not a personal failure. That's biology — and it might be the most validating thing you hear all week. In this solo episode, recorded live in-studio after an unexpected guest cancellation (which, honestly, felt like the universe assigning the homework), Amanda gets into one of the mostparalyzing forces driving the Millennial Identity Crisis right now: uncertainty. Not a fluffy "lean into the discomfort" pep talk — the real,science-backed reason why big life decisions feel impossible, why watching someone you love stay stuck can make you quietly furious, and why your brain has been working against you this whole time. Inspired by fellow podcaster Liz Moody and the journalist and bestselling author Simone Stolzoff's research on uncertainty tolerance, Amanda unpacks the science and makes it personal — including a raw, honest story about a close friend navigating a sudden breakup, and the moment Amanda realized she'd been projecting her own risk tolerance onto someone who needed something entirely different.She also revisits a chapter from her intelligence analyst days — a White House job offer that unraveled in three weeks — and what living inside that kind of professional and personal free falltaught her about the millennial career pivot she didn't see coming.If you've ever asked yourself "should I move?", "should I leave this relationship?", "should I change careers?" — and then immediately answered yourself with "but what if it doesn't work out?" — this episode was made for you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your brain is literally wired to fear uncertainty more than actual suffering — and the study that proves itThe difference between acute uncertainty and ambient uncertainty, and why it matters for every decision you're currently avoidingThe "outsider looking in" trap — why being frustrated with someone else's indecision is actually about your own threshold, not theirsThe Only Option Test: a deceptively simple tool to cut through decision paralysisOne-way door vs. two-way door decisions — and how knowing the difference changes the stakes entirelyWhy you don't need certainty to commit — and what commitment actually isThe most powerful mindset shift for when you're drowning in fear: how to trust your future self to solve problems that haven't arrived yet RESOURCES:Simone Stolzoff — How to Not Know: simonestolzoff.com/how-to-not-knowThe Liz Moody Podcast ft.

**Until Apple Podcasts Connect and Spotify for Creators platforms are able to share HSL Video, please watch the video version of this episode on Spotify or ⁠YouTube⁠**Episode 124: This episode of The Lost & Found Podcast with Amanda Powers explores creative shame, comparison culture, career reinvention, self-worth, and the quiet fear that you're falling behind — the everyday textures of the Millennial Identity Crisis — including what it means to start something before you feel qualified, to grieve a career path you outgrew, and to keep showing up when you're still learning the skill. Amanda and her friend and fellow content creator Mika Carr get into the myth that you have to "batch content" or have it all figured out to be legit, the dreams we get shamed out of chasing, and why turning another year older isn't proof you're running out of time. If you're looking for permission to change your mind, stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel, and build something new without waiting to feel ready first, this one's for you.Connect with Mika: @mikamcarrConnect with Amanda:Don't forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Feeling behind because everyone else's content — or life — looks more put-together than yours? This episode is your permission slip to stop comparing and start posting anyway. Amanda sits down with her friend and coworker Mika Carr — video editor, content creator, and one of the very first people who told her "Yes, do the podcast!!!!" back when it was just an idea. What starts as a fun, low-stakes catch-up (card games, cheesecake, and one seriously delicious croissant) turns into a real conversation about the exhausting myth that you have to "batch content" to be legit, the career dream Mika abandoned before content creation ever entered the picture, and why the "post it anyway" advice beats waiting for perfect. Amanda also shares two moments from her intelligence-analyst days that taught her more about handling conflict and comparison than any leadership seminar ever could. In this episode we discuss:Why comparing your content (or your career) to someone else's is quietly exhausting youThe forgotten career dream Mika had before content creationWhy "post it anyway" beats chasing a perfect algorithm strategyAmanda's FBI story on standing your ground without losing yourselfMika's closing advice on embracing change, even when it's scaryIf you've ever compared your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel — or wondered if you're "behind" in your career, your content, or your life — this one's for you.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Welcome Back!01:32 — How did this podcast actually start? 06:07 — Why does comparing your content to everyoneelse's feel so exhausting?10:20 — What career did Mika almost pursue beforecontent creation?20:29 — What does it mean to actually own the identityof “podcaster” or “creator”?32:44 — Is free advice better than paid mentorship rightnow?34:54 — What is the “millennial career crisis”everyone's talking about?47:51 — Amanda's most humbling story from her FBIcareer55:47 — What does it look like to pause your own careerto help family?59:31 — Who shaped you the most without knowing it?1:05:06 — How do you stop being afraid ofchange?CONNECT WITH MIKA:Find Mika on Instagram: @mikamcarrCONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don't forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 123: What if feeling lost isn't proof that you're failing — but proof that you're finally doing it right? That question is basically the whole reason this show exists, and it's exactly whatI dig into with my guest this week: Dr. Saidie Rodriguez, MD — physician, coach, speaker, and host of soulSHINE: The Art of Becoming. Dr. Saidie has a name for that specific ache so many of us hit somewhere in our late 20s, 30s, and 40s: authentic integration. It's the idea that our most disconnected, unmoored seasons — the ones that can feel like a full-blown Millennial IdentityCrisis — are actually the ones where an old identity is finally loosening its grip so a truer one can take shape. Dr. Saidie built her career at the intersection of science and soul, helping high-achieving individuals move from performance to presence. We get into burnout, imposter syndrome, the “arrival fallacy,” and why self-awareness alone isn't enough to create real change — plus how to build the kind of self-trust thatkeeps you moving even when you're scared.If you've ever felt like you're not living up to the future version of yourself you're chasing, or you've quietly wondered whether feeling this uncomfortable means something is wrong with you — this one's your permission slip to stop rushing the messy middle.In this episode, you'll learn:What “authentic integration” means and why identity loss can be a sign of growth, not failureHow the arrival fallacy keeps high achievers chasing the next goal instead of feeling presentWhy self-awareness alone doesn't create transformation — and what actually doesHow survival mode blocks creativity, and how to build internal safety insteadWhy high-achieving women are especially prone to discounting their own pain and traumaPractical tools for moving through fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndromeDr. Saidie's simple daily practice for living without regretChapters:00:00 - What If Feeling Lost Means You're Doing It Right?01:34 - Meet Dr. Saidie Rodriguez, MD02:23 - What Does “Becoming” Actually Mean?

Episode 122: We're back from a short break and bringing you along the journey with some brand new guests! This week we are kicking things off with nomadic relationship expert and guide, Alissha Davis. You're the most self-aware you've ever been. You've done the therapy, listened to the podcasts, read the books. So why do you keep making your worst dating decisions right now — in the middle of a career change, a move, a total reinvention?In this episode — our very first conversation about love and relationships on the show — Amanda sits down with Alissha Davis, dating and relationship specialist and founder of Nomad Love Lab. Alissha has spent 11 years living abroad, from Thailand to Brazil, studying what actually happens to our love lives when our identity is in flux.Her answer is equal parts science and soul: when you're in transition, your nervous system stops looking for compatible love and starts looking for anyone to hold onto. That dopamine hit, that sudden quiet, that feeling of "finally" — it isn't always destiny. Sometimes it's just your body finding a regulation source and dressing it up as fate. Together, Amanda and Alissha get into the science of why "quieter" gets mistaken for "right," the red flags we can't see in ourselves, and Alissha's CED Method — Clarity, Emotional Regulation, and Discernment — for making grounded decisions in love. Alissha also shares her own raw story of grief, losing her father suddenly, and how she caught herself latching onto the wrong person while she was at rock bottom. This one is personal, a little vulnerable, and exactly what you need if you're trying to find love and yourself at the same time.What you'll hear in this episode:Why self-awareness doesn't protect you from bad dating decisionsThe "Anchor Effect" and what your nervous system does when your identity destabilizesHow to tell genuine connection from someone who just makes the uncertainty feel quieterThe CED Method: Clarity, Emotional Regulation, Discernment — and which one collapses firstThe myth of being fully "healed" before you're allowed to loveHow to determine when you're using dating as avoidance Chapters:00:00 Why We're Finally Talking About Love & Identity02:42 Meet Alissha Davis09:16 Why You Shouldn't Pause Your Love Life During a Transition16:57 Why Self-Awareness Doesn't Stop Bad Dating Decisions21:52 The CED Method: Clarity, Emotional Regulation & Discernment24:01 How to Know What You Actually Need in a Relationship25:29 Emotional Regulation: Calming Your Own Nervous System27:38 Why Clarity Comes First (and What Happens When It Collapses)29:44 Comfort vs. Compatibility: Is It Love or Just Relief?32:59 When "Couple Goals" Is Really Emotional Anesthesia34:28 The Anchor Effect: How Identity Loss Creates Codependency35:26 Alissha's Story: Grief, Clarity & Walking Away38:40 How Living Abroad Reshaped Her View of Love43:01 How to Date in the Middle of a Major Life Transition46:26 Take the Risk: Advice for Anyone Who Feels LostCONNECT WITH ALISSHA:Website - https://www.nomadlovelab.com/Instagram - @alisshagoesthere & @nomadlovelabCoaching, Quizzes, Events - Sign Up Here!CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don't forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 121: In this solo episode, Amanda gets honest about what’s been going on behind the scenes: the creative burnout, the depressive fog, the guilt spiral of falling behind on the podcast, and the overwhelming pressure of trying to build something meaningful while still holding everything else together in real life.This is the messy middle in real time — that phase of thejourney where you’ve already decided to walk down a new path, but the path has forests, mudslides, and days where the quicksand just keeps pulling you under. It’s not pretty. It’s not polished. And it’s 100% real.In this episode, Amanda talks about:What creative burnout actually feels like when your passion project becomes pressureThe comparison spiral of watching other creators and wondering what you’re doing wrongJuggling a full-time job, family caregiving, and a dream that doesn’t fit neatly into the margins of your dayWhy she’s been absent — and why she’s not going to pretend she has it all figured outA personal life update that’s bringing both terror and a whole lot of hope If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at the very thing that’s supposed to save you — this one’s for you.

Episode 120: What does it mean to break a chain you were born into? In this deeply moving episode, Amanda Powers sits down with Tavarus Taylor — Nashville entrepreneur, community advocate, drag performer Vivica Steele, and radio host of The Queen's Table — for one of the most layered and honest conversations this show has ever had. Tavarus opens up about growing up carrying an identity hedidn't yet have the language to explain, surviving a criminal justice system that took away his right to vote over a $5.44 check, getting laid off from corporate America and turning that betrayal into a thriving business, and the moment he realized his drag persona, Vivica Steele, wasn't just a performance. She was saving his life. This conversation is about what it really looks like to carrygenerational trauma without letting it become your whole story. It's about LGBTQ+ identity, systemic injustice, radical self-acceptance, and the quiet everyday courage it takes to build a life on your own terms — even when the world around you keeps trying to write a smaller story for you. What you'll hear in this episode:How generational trauma shapes who you are before youeven understand itWhat it actually costs to lose your constitutional rights — and what it takes to reclaim themWhy Tavarus walked away from corporate America and started a his own businessHow drag became his pathway to self-love, purpose, and liberationWhat "breaking chains" really means when you're the first in your family to do itThe one thing Tavarus says every lost person needs to do first — before any book, podcast, or sermonIf you've ever felt like the story someone told about youwasn't yours to keep — this episode is for you.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Introduction to Tavarus Taylor01:35 - Understanding Identity and Trauma07:54 - Overcoming Adversity and Self-Discovery13:24 - Navigating the Criminal Justice System17:43 - Empowerment and Community Advocacy22:15 - Transitioning from Corporate to Entrepreneurship25:07 - The Turning Point: From Employment to Entrepreneurship27:43 - Embracing Identity: The Journey of Vivica Steele30:15 - Navigating Life's Challenges: The Importance of Self-Love35:21 - Creating Safe Spaces: The Queen's Table Initiative42:37 - Building Meaningful Relationships: Love and Support44:46 - Finding Your Path: The Power of Self-ReflectionCONNECT WITH TAVARUS:Business Website: tntcommercialservices615.comVivica Steele Website: vivicasteele.comVivica's Instagram: ⁠@vivicasteele615⁠The Queen's Table: acmeradiolive.com/the-queens-tableThe Queen's Table Instagram: @thequeenstable615Personal Instagram: ⁠@ttaylor608⁠CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don't forget to subscribe for more content about reclaiming your identity, finding your purpose, and steps for becoming your future self.

Episode 119: What happens when you spend years being told your body isn’t good enough — and you start to believe it?In this episode, Amanda Powers sits down with Dani Dyer —Nashville-based personal trainer, certified fitness coach, author, and host of the Love Your Body Podcast — for one of the most honest conversations about body image, identity, and self-worth you’ll hear this year. Dani has lived it all: body shaming in middle school, disordered eating patterns in college, becoming Nashville’s Strongest Woman, going viral on TikTok, suffering aserious spinal injury, developing an autoimmune disorder from years of extreme sport, and rebuilding her health from the ground up — again. And again. What makes Dani’s story so powerful isn’t the accolades. It’s the fact that even at her leanest, her strongest, her most decorated— she still had to fight to love herself. And that’s exactly what she wants you to hear. In this episode, you’ll hear:How Dani lost herself to other people’s opinions — and the moment she decided to stop listeningWhy even “perfect” bodies can hide the deepest self-hatredThe difference between body positivity and actually loving your body through movementHow negative self-talk rewires your brain — and the sticky note habit that helps reverse itWhat “Fight for What You Want” actually means when you don’t know what you want yetDani’s raw experience with timeline grief, letting go of due dates, and trusting the processPractical advice for anyone who looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize themselves anymoreWhether you’re struggling with your body image, your identity, or just feeling like you’ve lost your way — this episode is a reminder that the most powerful thing you can do is start right now. You don’t have to wait until you look different, weigh less, or have it all figured out. You just have to start fighting for yourself.Chapters00:00 - Dani’s Origin Story04:26 - College Fitness07:20 - The Vermont Turning Point15:23 - My Most Viral Moments 17:30 - My Identity Crisis23:53 - Misinformation in Fitness30:29 - Silencing the Inner Critic36:00 - Establishing a New Mindset 41:57 - Timeline Grief and The Arrival Fallacy 52:07 - What it really means to “Fight for What You Want” 57:05 - What to say to yourself when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourselfConnect with Dani Dyer:Website: www.danidfitness.comBook: How to Love Your Body ThroughoutPodcast: Love Your Body PodcastInstagram: @danidfitness1YouTube: @danidfitness1TikTok: @danidfitness1CONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 118: If you’ve been feeling tired but wired, foggy, inflamed, or like your body is quietly waving a white flag—this episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself and start listening.This week, Amanda sits down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedicpractitioner, PhD researcher in turmeric and curcumin, and founder of Fusionary Formulas, for a conversation that bridges ancient Eastern wisdom with modern Western health struggles. Dr. Shivani has spent over 20 years helping people understand the root cause behind so much of what makes us feel lost in our own bodies: inflammation. But this isn’t just a health episode—it’s a self-discoveryconversation.

Episode 115: If you’ve been feeling stuck, afraid to start over, or trapped in a “comfortable” life that’s quietly costing you your purpose… this episode is your wake-up call.Today I’m joined by Jill Schulman — U.S. Marine Corps veteran, leadership development expert, and “happiness scientist” with a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology — to break down the real science of bravery and how to build it in everyday life. Jill shares her iconic “pink pumps to combat boots” origin story — including the moment someone told her on day one, “You’ll never make it,” and how she learned that bravery isn’t about heroic moments… it’s about showing up scared every day. In this conversation, Jill explains why so many of us get trapped in the comfort zone (and why it actually makes us more fragile), then gives a practical blueprint to build courage through:Brave Mindset (your inner dialogue + belief that you can do hard things)Brave Actions (taking a step before you feel ready)Brave Relationships (curating a “brave tribe” that won’t let you tap out)You’ll also hear Jill’s best tool for decision-making when you feel lost. If you’re in a career pivot, identity shift, breakup, burnout, or “what now?” season — this episode will help you choose courage over comfort.CONNECT WITH JILL:Jill shares her free bravery assessment + bravery blueprint at jillschulman.com and her book The Bravery Effect is available everywhere books are sold.

Episode 114: If you—or someone you love—has gone through therapy, rehab, or wilderness treatment organizations and still feel completely lost, this episode is for you. Life after treatment can feel brutally confusing: you’re back home, at risk of falling into old patterns, and everyone expects you to be “better,” but inside you still feel stuck, ashamed, or behind.In this conversation, I sit down with Colin MacDonald, co-founder of NOT Therapy, to unpack why life after treatment is so hard and what you can actually do about it—whether you’re the young adult trying to rebuild or the parent trying to help without making things worse. As a teenager, Colin cycled through psych wards, wilderness therapy in the Utah desert, and a therapeutic boarding school he once ran away from on foot. Later, he built a successful career in sports and tech—then walked away to create the support he wishes he had as a young adult: real-world structure, daily mentorship, and a community of people who actually get it.We discuss how NOT Therapy helps 16–29-year-olds move from feeling stuck to in-motion—often staying out of higher levels of care, finding work or school paths that fit, and rebuilding trust at home. If you’re a parent terrified your kid is “wasting their potential,” a 20-something living at home and feeling behind, or someone who’s been through treatment and still feels lost, you’ll walk away with concrete next steps—not just inspiring quotes.In this episode, you’ll learn:The 3 biggest gaps in traditional treatment & therapy—and why so many young people crash when they come homeA simple 30-day post-treatment blueprint for coming home without going backwardsThe difference between being emotionally fluent (“I know what I feel”) and emotionally functional (“I know what to do with my feelings”)The mindset shifts and conversations that help parents move from the director  of their child's life to a guideCONNECT WITH COLIN:Instagram - @coach_colinmacNot Therapy - @not.therapy.coachingWebsite - https://www.nottherapy.me/CHAPTERS:00:00 Introductions01:54 Colin's Journey: A Life Rebuilt05:04 The Impact of Wilderness Therapy07:44 I Worked for the Mariners10:23 Creating Not Therapy: A New Approach13:27 The Importance of Mentorship15:59 Emotional Fluency: Navigating Feelings18:49 Real-Life Application: Beyond Therapy24:05 Building Accountability and Community33:53 Empowerment Through Choice34:59 What Do Successful Clients Look Like?36:41 How to Transition from Treatment Center to Home43:10 Parenting in the Modern Age54:10 Finding Your Purpose Again01:02:33 Advice for Someone Who Feels Lost and StuckCONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 110: Feeling stuck, burnt out, or like you’ve tried everything and nothing actually changes? In this episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda sits down with therapist and award-winning author Faust Ruggiero, creator of The Process Way of Life and the Fix Yourself Empowerment Series, to talk about how real change starts from the inside out.Faust shares how his 40+ years of counseling led him to identify 52 internal processes that drive our emotional health — from radical honesty and fact-finding to getting your intellect in front of your emotions so they don’t run the show.

Episode 108: What if the key to your success isn’t found in what you do, but in how deeply you feel? In this week’s episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda Powers sits down with Randy Lyman, a physicist, entrepreneur, and the author of The Third Element: The Missing Key to Activating the Law of Attraction, which reveals the missing link in manifestation that most teachers miss—how unresolved emotional trauma secretly shapes our reality. Randy built multiple eight-figure companies and an Inc. 500 business, but it wasn’t until he faced his emotional disconnection that he discovered the missing piece between ambition and fulfillment. He is a leading expert on emotional intelligence and service based leadership, and he has pioneered a groundbreaking approach that bridges science and spirituality to transform how people understand abundance. This revelation led him to develop a practical system for emotional mastery that has transformed thousands of lives. Together, Amanda and Randy explore:How unhealed emotions silently shape our successThe science of resonance and how energy connects to emotional healingWhy perfectionism and control keep us from evolvingHow to lead and live with authenticity, empathy, and truthThe seven-layer questioning method to uncover your emotional blocksWhether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or someone searching for meaning, this episode bridges science and spirituality to help you reconnect with yourself and redefine what “being found” truly means.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Emotional Intelligence and Success02:49 Randy's Journey to Emotional Awareness05:46 The Science of Emotions and Reality08:43 Bridging Science and Emotions11:16 Steps to Emotional Healing14:06 The Impact of Emotional Healing on Business17:02 Navigating Relationships and Letting Go19:53 The Cost of Emotional Truth22:53 Intuition vs. Emotion in Decision Making28:07 Navigating Difficult Decisions in Business31:00 The Evolution of Identity and Purpose35:29 Overcoming Doubts and Embracing Possibilities38:39 Letting Go of Perfection and Embracing Mistakes40:24 Surrendering to the Journey42:35 The Impact of Emotional Growth on Relationships47:06 Becoming an Effective Listener48:34 Defining Purpose and Living Authentically51:49 Advice to My Younger Self52:45 Messages for Loved Ones53:28 Finding Guidance When Feeling LostConnect with Randy Lyman:Website: https://randylyman.com/Instagram: @iamrandylymanYouTube: @iamrandylymanFacebook: @iamrandylyman1TikTok: @iamrandylymanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamrandylymanCONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 104: Divorce doesn’t just end a marriage — it can feel like it ends your sense of self. This episode is for women in the middle of a divorce or quietly considering one, anyone raising kids inside a blended family, people who left a high-achieving corporate career because their body finally refused to keep pretending, and anyone grieving a version of themselves they can't go back to. Molly Rubesh — a trauma-informed life coach, writer, children's author, and creator of the Modern Marriage Blueprint — walks through her own divorce in 2017, sitting with her father in hospice in 2022, and the moment she realized she could not return to the life that was slowly erasing her. Her central lesson is that happiness is not a destination you arrive at after the degree, the ring, the house, and the kids; it's a practice of alignment, and most of us stay in the wrong life because we're terrified of what leaving would announce about us. She's especially sharp on marriage and names the "resentment bank," where every small unspoken slight gets deposited until you can't stand to sit next to your own partner, and she makes a surprisingly warm case for prenups and hard pre-marriage conversations about money, conflict, and intimacy, because love alone was never designed to carry that much legal and emotional weight. Her insights on blended families will land hard for anyone parenting through a remarriage: blended families are not insta-families, nobody has to love anybody on a schedule, and giving your kids permission not to choose takes the pressure off everyone. The takeaways that matter most for Wanderers: Your intuition speaks in flat, factual sentences while fear speaks in spirals of what if, so you have to get quiet enough to tell them apart.Control is a coping mechanism, not a personality.The best gift you can give the people you love is a healed version of yourself, which means doing the work before you date, remarry, or co-parent. The key reframe for anyone who feels behind: "You're not starting over, you're blossoming, and there is no finish line you're late for." Send this episode to the friend who's white-knuckling a marriage she won't talk about, the newly divorced mom convinced she's ruined her kids' lives, or the person who did everything right and still feels like a stranger in their own life — Molly will give them language for what they're feeling and proof that the next chapter is allowed to be better than the one they planned.Connect with Molly Rubesh:Website: https://mollyrubesh.com/Children’s Book: https://mollyrubesh.com/bookInstagram: @molly_rubeshThreads: @molly_rubeshThe Modern Marriage Blueprint: https://mollyrubesh.com/course-mmbCONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 100: We made it to 100 episodes y'all! But this milestone episode isn’t your typical highlight reel. Instead, Amanda Powers gets vulnerable about what really happens when you chase your dreams. After hitting episode 100, Amanda shares the loneliness, self-doubt, and emotional breakdown that came right after recording an interview—and why those breakdowns can actually signal that a breakthrough is near.This raw reflection dives into the arrival fallacy (why reaching milestones often feels less satisfying than expected) and why progress matters more than perfection. Amanda also unpacks the importance of building community, practicing self-compassion, and celebrating growth instead of waiting for a “finish line.”If you’ve ever felt lost on your journey, wondered if you’re the only one who believes in your dream, or struggled with resilience in times of doubt, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone. The wanderer’s path is never straight—but it’s worth it.Chapters:00:00 – Celebrating 100 Episodes: A Milestone Reflection04:05 – Navigating Loneliness and Self-Doubt09:00 – Understanding the Arrival Fallacy13:23 – Finding Strength in Vulnerability18:14 – Creating a Life You Love22:34 – Final Thoughts and Call to ActionCONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 95: In this powerful episode, Amanda welcomes Todd Anderson—former NFL athlete, performance coach, and founder of Dream Recovery. This episode is for anyone whose identity was fused to a role that ended: retired and released athletes, people who walked away from a career that once defined them, founders choosing between a paycheck and a purpose, and high performers who look successful on paper and feel hollow underneath. Todd Anderson — a walk-on turned Michigan State standout, former NFL player, and the co-founder of Dream Recovery, Synergy Dryland, and Secondwind Nasal Strips — talks openly about getting released by the Rams, spending years in medical sales while quietly trading meaning for money, and the delayed grief that didn't hit until long after the uniform came off. His central lesson is that validation is the enemy of happiness, because chasing what success looks like from the outside will keep you from ever naming what would actually make you happy. He also makes the case that sleep is the foundation every other wellness habit stacks on top of, and that small, unglamorous changes like a sleep mask, mouth tape, or nasal strips work mostly because they back you into intentionality you wouldn't have committed to head-on. The takeaways that will land hardest for Wanderers: Imposter syndrome can be a sign of respect for what others have built rather than a verdict on your worthConfidence comes from exposure, from being in rooms with people you admire long enough to realize they're ordinary tooThe decisions that change everything are usually the tiny ones you almost skipped, like the summer scrimmage Todd only attended to be a good teammate, which became the reason he ever got a shot at Michigan State at all. His closing advice is the line to write down: fear is a mile wide and an inch deep, the obstacle is almost always smoke and mirrors, and your only real regret will be that you didn't attack it sooner. Share this one with the friend who's between chapters, the athlete or professional grieving a version of themselves they can't get back to, or the person who keeps insisting they're fine while running on five hours of sleep and someone else's definition of winning. Todd's story gives them permission to feel lost without agreeing to stay lost — and that's a gift worth forwarding.CONNECT WITH AMANDA: Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity, healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.
