UnLightened: A Guide to Freedom for Messy Humans

Hey loves! It took me a while to share this because I wanted to give myself plenty of time to make sure I knew what I was doing. I don't totally know now, but I do trust the energy that's telling me this show is complete for now.  I share a final lesson about how I made this decision, how I determined whether this was actually guidance or was it me quitting on myself, how I deal with trusting my inner guidance even when it's weird, inconvenient and really uncomfortable (and it is almost always those things!) AND why I still think this is the best ride I ever signed up for. I share these things in the hopes of helping you if/ when you go through something similar.  There is for sure more coming from me, maybe even as this podcast, just with a lil break between seasons. More will be revealed, and the best way to stay in the know is to sign up for my email list right here: https://mailchi.mp/39a3f717e8e0/sign-up-for-the-weekly-roundup and you can always say hi and stay in touch with an email to [email protected] I also still have a handful of one-on-one coaching spots available, you can book a free chat right here to see if that's a good fit. See you on the other side, whatever that might look like! and I wish you all the best as you keep seeking within to find what's right and true for you! Trust yourself, trust the process, trust the guidance. You can't get it wrong.  Big love, Amanda 

This is not the first time I've said that inspiration is overrated (see episode 8) but I really get into more deeply in this episode. I also had my own experience recently that made it SO clear that inspiration can even be a liability.  Inspiration gets a lot of hype. We tend to treat it like the magical force that makes creativity possible—the spark that finally gets us to sit down, start the project, write the thing, make the art, launch the idea.   But in this episode, I'm making a slightly rebellious argument:   Not only is inspiration unneccessary and overrated, but waiting around or demanding to feel it before you'll get to work? That's amateur hour.  When we put inspiration on a pedestal—when we believe we need to feel inspired before we create—we accidentally make our creative work fragile. We wait. We stall. We blame the absence of that magical feeling instead of doing the thing we came here to do.   And ironically, when inspiration does show up, it can make the crash even harder when the work turns out to be… well… work.   In this episode we explore:   • Why inspiration can sometimes become a liability • The surprising downside of waiting to "feel inspired" before creating • What actually helps you stick with your work when it gets hard • The difference between amateurs who wait for inspiration and professionals who show up regardless • How devotion, discipline, and willingness create a deeper kind of creative power   We also talk about something close to my heart: the mystical side of creativity. The moment when effort meets grace. The way inspiration and divine guidance tend to arrive after we show up—not before.   If you've ever waited for motivation, inspiration, or the perfect mood before taking action… this episode might change how you think about creativity, discipline, and your relationship with your own work.   Inspiration is nice.   But devotion will take you much farther.   Big love, Amanda 🎙️

I hear amazing, fabulous people with powerful messages for the world say "I don't want to be polarizing." But what if "polarizing" isn't actually a real category—just a perception? In this episode of Unlightened, we explore the fear of being polarizing and how that fear quietly makes us shrink, soften our truth, and edit ourselves into bland neutrality. You'll learn why resonance requires clarity, why disagreement isn't a failure, and how to stand in your integrity without trying to control how others react. If you've ever held back your voice because you didn't want to upset anyone, this episode is an invitation to stop being beige and start being real. amandagoldlifecoach.com @tigermystics facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kickasswithbothfeet email: [email protected] email list (AKA VIP hangs/ Tiger Lounge) https://mailchi.mp/39a3f717e8e0/sign-up-for-the-weekly-roundup book a free consult: https://calendly.com/kickasswithbothfeet/consultation  

  In this episode of Unlightened, we're talking about altars and ritual.  Not in a rigid, religious, "you must do this perfectly" kind of way. But as living, breathing spaces of return and creative expression and exploration.  Inside Tiger Mystics, we create a group altar every round. Each person contributes an item. I build a physical altar behind me that holds our prayers, our intentions, our growth. There's a candle I only light for our calls. Objects that stay. Symbols that represent us now, and who we are becoming.  And every time, something shifts. Because ritual isn't about superstition. It's about attention. An altar is a way of saying: "Oh. There I am." In the hurly-burly, frenetic swirl of life, it becomes a touchstone. A visible, tangible place to remember what matters. A sketchbook for your soul. A physical record of what you're devoted to becoming. In this episode, we explore: * Why ritual regulates and steadies the nervous system *why you might like to try altar-making if you haven't before, and ways to deepen your practice if you do * How physical objects can anchor your intentions * How moving objects in the outer world creates shifts and meaning in your inner world (and vice versa) * How to create a simple, meaningful altar (and what to do if you worry about doing it wrong) This isn't about aesthetics or rules. It's about being anchored. If you've been craving something grounding… something sacred but accessible… something that helps you come back to yourself— this one's for you. Light a candle and let's go.    [email protected] https://amandagoldlifecoach.com https://www.facebook.com/kickasswithbothfeet @tigermystics Book a free consult if you're curious about working together: https://calendly.com/kickasswithbothfeet/consultation

Hey friends.  In this episode I propose that being uncomfortable most of the time is actually the place to be.  there are 2 types of discomfort. One is staying stuck, NOT living the life you dream of, and spinning around in the same ol' same ol'...for years.  THEN there is the type that I want to invite you to join me in: and that is being uncomfortable ON PURPOSE because that's what happens when you go for it and grow into your best and favorite self.  We're so scared of what MIGHT happen if we make that change, take the leap, go for that new thing.  But I think it's scarier NOT to. And the thing we're afraid of is essentially, at the core, fear of feeling UNCOMFORTABLE. And you already feel that way anyway. I'm here to tell you the other side, the CHOSEN discomfort that is the price of admission for all the cool shit you want out of life? It's actually not that bad and ALL the BEST feelings are on the otherside of that.  So let's go.  Join the club:  you can hang out with me here (email newsletter!)  here (facebook!) and here.(website!) And email me with any questions or ideas for future shows. [email protected] I'd love to hear from you, and I'd LOVE to cheer you on in YOUR radical discomfort.  Go get 'em, tiger. 

This episode is different from the rest.  I'm doing it more like I teach in Tiger Mystics, letting ideas just flow through me. ( I bring lessons and prepare for the classrooms, but it's a lot more fluid. I move with intuition, letting the energy of the group inform what we focus on and where we go) And the thing I want to share with you today is how to release old ideas of god that you've been carrying around. How to update your thinking about it so you can have an experience and a relationship with All That Is (whatever YOU call it!)  I just want everyone to feel as good as possible, to feel how loved and worthy and cared for they really are. And if I can help break down barriers to that, I will.  So enjoy this more flow-y episode, no script, no pre-planned outline or agenda: just talking from my heart to yours. This is a GREAT way to get a better feel for what Tiger Mystics is about.  And doors are OPEN! til valentine's day.  So grab your consult ASAP. It's not too late for you to secure your spot in this magical loving community and have your own deeply satisfying, transformational adventure with us . I really encourage you to book your consultation EVEN IF you're aren't 100% sure. That's the point: it's a chance to chat with me and just get your questions answered and find out more. No pressure.

Y'all get to hear my amazing joke about this. But beyond the cheesiness, (whatever- no, it's hilarious 😂) this episode is for you if you've ever had a goal or a dream, but you're afraid of being DELUSIONAL.  I say, go for it.  In this episode, I have some really helpful thoughts and practices for you.  I share my beliefs and philosophy about this, which you are free to adopt and have major transformation just from doing so... I explain a little bit about why this happens and why we do this to ourselves (and thoughts about what to do when OTHER people are doing it to you) AND some really helpful exercises you can use TODAY to help you evolve and stop getting in your own way. If there's something you want, you CAN have it. And I'm here to help. The world NEEDS your crazy delusional dreams, so let's go.    ALSO! exciting announcement....TIGER MYSTICS cohort 3 is open and calling its members! email me at [email protected] to let me know you want in (or follow me on Facebook and send me a message there.)

Episode 49: How to Create (and Master) Time What if "mastering time" has nothing to do with control, perfection, or squeezing more into your day? In this episode, I'm redefining what time mastery actually is. And it's not about productivity hacks or perfection.  Mastery, as I see it, is about relationship. We're never DONE, but we can be really skilled, adept and at ease with time.  I share how my relationship with time has radically changed—from feeling trapped, rushed, resentful, and constantly behind… to feeling spacious, grounded, and at ease—even on days that include five hours at the dentist. We'll talk about: Why time scarcity is more about resistance, obligation, and self-judgment than actual hours The difference between managing time and creating the experience of time abundance How busyness often acts as emotional avoidance (and why slowing down can feel like withdrawal at first) What it really looks like to choose your calendar instead of feeling victimized by it How spirituality, recovery, and nervous system safety can make time feel fluid, expansive, and even miraculous Practical ways to start creating more space without blowing up your life This episode is for anyone who feels like they're always behind, unable to relax, dreading what's coming next, or waiting for "time off" to finally feel better. You don't need more time. You can create a completely different experience of the time you already have.

There is a pernicious belief that I hear ALL the time (hell, I still believe it too sometimes!) We say it like it's just FACTS  because it FEELS like it's true, and you could show me alllll the evidince to PROVE it's true.... and it's still not Truth with a capital T.  Even if is, that doesn't matter.  And clinging to it, reinforcing it, repeating it and just believing it can't be helped, is holding you back. So this episode is here to help! I have 6 hot tips for breaking past this limiting belief disguised as truth, and if you wanna know what it is, come have a listen (I don't tell you what it is til about minute 8, but if you're DYING to know, you can fast foward to find out. But make sure and go back for the whole thing.

One of the best tools I have in my kit, the best skill I've practiced and gotten really good at is that I can have a breakthrough whenever I want one. Any time, any where, I can get unstuck, feel better, and keep it movin'. And I want you to be able to do this to.  Over my Christmas vacation, I was getting hemmed up in some guilt and dread. So I sat down and had a breakthrough about it in FIVE MINUTES.  It was so helpful that I decided to walk you through exactly what I did and how I think about this so you can do it to. It ends up breaking down into 6 simple steps, so come on through and check this out. It's totally doable and something you can learn. You'll be glad to have this ability, I promise.  Also, I'm hosting a free workshop to do this in real time, together. So you can come with something that has you stumped, something tricky, a problem or issue or place where you're stuck, and I can coach you and guide you to have your own breakthrough.  You first step is to get in Tiger Lounge, my free facebook group. I'll announce the date and location of the workshop on Friday the 9th.  Also, you're invited to hop on my email list here: lots of goodies coming in the new year, make sure you stay in the loop.  Thanks for being here, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or ideas for future shows!  [email protected]      

Two specific types of shame and useful, actionable tips for easing that burden today. 

Shout out to Mary Okon (@maryokoncoaching) for asking me to share my thoughts on Self-Judgment ( I LOVE that she made this suggestion and if you have ideas, I hope you'll share them too!) [email protected]   This podcast is fun and very me, in that it starts with a riff on what "judge not lest ye be judged" means. (Not a threat or ominous warning, but universal truth to free us from our own self-judgment)  Then I use a real-life recent example of something I went through where my own self - judgment was coming up, and I studied how I handled it to share it with you all here. You get 3 of my favorite analogies for relating to your inner critic when it acts a fool…(SETTLE DOWN, RHONDA) And 4 questions I ask myself to help me get out of my confusion, shame, or wishy washiness when I want to make a decision that is true to ME, not a "should"… I also decided to make this episode part one, and I let you know what part 2 (coming next week), will be about. (hint: radical. joyful. Flip the script to be amazing.) I also share some thoughts about shame being optional and how/ why that could be….but that it's ALSO true that eradicating shame doesn't need to be a goal - here on unlightened we embrace our humanity and feel our feels, so I'm willing to befriend shame…AND we are superhuman and Divine, so why the hell not let ourselves work a miracle and be totally free from that.    Thanks for being here, for doing this work with me - you're making the world a better place the more you become more YOU.   amandagoldlifecoach.com hang out with me on facebook!

In this episode of Unlightened, we're talking about something most of us secretly avoid: rocking the boat. Saying the thing. Taking the stand. Pursuing your dreams. Being the person who disrupts the comfortable little status quo because your soul won't let you stay silent anymore. If you're someone who cares deeply about integrity, authenticity, and doing right by people, this episode is your permission slip to stop tiptoeing and start telling the truth—even if it makes waves. We'll dig into the three truths that make boat-rocking less fraught. 1. You're a good person.    The very fact that you're worried about messing up is proof that your heart's in the right place. 2. Integrity matters, and it makes you brave.    When you honor what's real, you naturally become more willing to risk discomfort, conflict, or someone else's opinion of you. 3. You can always repair.    If you step in it, you can apologize. You can make amends. You can clarify. You can clean it up.    (That's what emotionally mature adults do.) By the end of this episode, you'll feel more grounded in your goodness, more trusting of your voice, and more willing to be the one who rocks the damn boat—because sometimes rocking it is the most loving, aligned, spiritually honest thing you can do. And you can't be the captain of your ship if you're worried about making waves. 

The Self-Care Protocol (After You Feel Your Feelings) What happens after you feel your feelings? In this episode of Unlightened, we explore the sacred importance of emotional aftercare — how to tend to yourself once the crying, raging, releasing, or processing is done. Because yes, feeling your feelings is powerful, healing work… but it also takes energy. And your system deserves recovery time. You'll learn how to build a simple, loving "self-care protocol" that helps you feel safe, grounded, and supported after big emotions move through — and how following through on what you need can deepen your self-trust and make it easier to feel things in the future. We'll talk about why rest and recovery are non-negotiable parts of healing, and how to honor your body, heart, and spirit after emotional release. This isn't about numbing or fixing — it's about nurturing. By the end, you'll have a simple, compassionate framework for taking care of yourself after you feel your feelings, so you can move forward grounded, replenished, and at peace.   ✨ Listen now to learn the self-care practices that help you feel, heal, and keep your channel clear.   Follow me on Facebook here 🙌   join my mailing list here, and make sure you get all the updates about the next Tiger Mystics cohort!  You can add your 2 cents, make suggestions for future shows, or just say hello by emailing me : [email protected]

  When life feels impossible—when you're grieving, in pain, or completely overwhelmed—it can be hard to know how to keep going.   In this episode of Unlightened, we talk about the sacred simplicity of baby steps and doing the next right thing—especially in the moments when everything feels too big, too hard, or too heavy.   You'll learn how to use this practice to find peace and momentum through the hardest seasons of life, and why those tiny, ordinary actions matter more than you think.   This isn't about hustling or pushing through. It's about trust, willingness, and letting God meet you right where you are.   By the end of this episode, you'll feel grounded, encouraged, and ready to take your own next right step—no matter how small it seems. reach out with comments or suggestions, or just to say hi!

If you've ever been scared to feel your feelings because they might take you over and you'd never get out, you are not alone.  So many of us are afraid of our feelings — afraid that if we actually let ourselves feel them, they'll take us over, swallow us whole, and never let go. But the truth is, it's the FEAR of our emotions (and resistence to them) that makes them feel so big and scary in the first place. In this episode of Unlightened, we're debunking the myth that your emotions are too much for you to handle — and remembering what's actually true. You'll learn four powerful truths to help you feel your feelings safely, compassionately, and confidently. If you've been trying to think or fix your way out of your emotions, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting, start feeling, and trust your ability to allow it all to move through you and help you grow into the next wonderful version of yourself. you are stronger than you think, and infinitely capable. Let this episode remind you Who You Really Are 😘   comments, questions, or ideas for future show? email me at [email protected]      

In this episode I explore the difference between pushing ourselves past perceived limitations, and forcing ourselves from hustle, shame, or anxiety. This inevitably invites a look at the difference between what healthy rest feels like, versus the instant-gratification relief provided from quitting or giving up.  This is so important to explore and tune into for yourself, because it's the difference between staying stuck and small or becoming the most expansive version of yourself that you came here to be. It's about true self care, which sometimes has us pushing way past what feels comfortable or doable. But it's so so worth it.  Enjoy!    [email protected] https://amandagoldlifecoach.com  

I thought this episode was going to be about managing physical pain… but it's actually about the ache of accepting help. From knee surgery to old trauma, I unpack what happens when we stop pretending we can do it all alone, why it hurts so much to receive, and how learning to lean on others might just be the most crucial work of all. It's painful AF, but only because old wounds have kept us small and isolated. If we're willing to go through the pain of receiving support, we come back into the natural flow of life and that is worth ANY pain. Walking through it is still hard and messy though, and I hope this episode helps.    amandagoldlifecoach.com [email protected]

Hey all,  shout out to Mary O for inspiring this episode.  She reached out to share her thoughts on the podcast, and I LOVE that! I'm all too happy to take suggestions, I want this to be helpful for YOU, so keep it comin'. Mary asked a great question that I hoped to at least partly answer with this episode: how can you make spirituality your own, make it specific to you, so it works for you. Listen in to learn about permission to revamp, rebuild, and reconsider your current spiritual path or practices... tips for how to find practices and beliefs that work for you... clues that it's working (and how to define for yourself what "working" even means to you)... ways to know it's NOT working... and more.    Enjoy! and if you have ideas for future episodes, or if you want me to cover certain topics more, email me at [email protected]  I'd love to hear from you, thanks for listening!    amandagoldlifecoach.com https://mailchi.mp/39a3f717e8e0/sign-up-for-the-weekly-roundup   https://www.facebook.com/kickasswithbothfeet

We often think of coaching or other personal development skills as the thing that will help us GET SOMEWHERE or create specific results.  And I do love that. Part of my share in this episode is some of my own drastic before-and-afters with coaching.  But what I REALLY love is having the skills and tools to go through hard times without creating more suffering, without quitting or giving up, without making it harder on myself than it is.  And this is what I want to offer you here: some of the most valuable things coaching has given me that help me stay steady and get through my down times.  If you're in a spiral or droppin' all the balls, I hope there is something in here that helps.    REach out anytime with questions, comments, or to find out about how to work with me: [email protected]

Inside Tiger Mystics: Shame, Abundance & Community In this episode of Unlightened, I sit down with a dear friend, artist, and founding Tiger Mystics member, Leah Rich. We talk about unpacking hidden shame, the magic (and nerves) of being vulnerable in community, and how abundance can be a grounded, practical mindset—not just wishful thinking.

✨Inside Tiger Mystics: Zadra's Share In this episode of Unlightened, I'm joined by Zadra Rose Ibañez, one of the first members of Tiger Mystics. She shares her journey of uniting her Tiger side(the scientist, the ambitious professional) with her Mystical side (the intuitive, inner-knowing part of her). Instead of compartmentalizing, she's learning to welcome all parts of herself—and it's been life-changing. We also talk about the power of being in a circle that lifts you up, reminds you of your greatness, and lets you be both vulnerable AND celebrated. This heartfelt conversation is a sneak peek into the Tiger Mystics experience, and full of wisdom for anyone who's ever struggled to reconcile different parts of themselves.

I am so jazzed to talk you all about failure. I am really good at failing, and I don't mean that in a shitty way (although I do have some epic, embarrassing failures under my belt and I share some of them here 😅) I'm a failer, not a failure.  (t-shirts coming soon, follow me @tigermystics on IG) I mean, I'm down to fail. I'm into it. I'm ready willing, and able, and in this episode I'm going to teach you to be that badass about failing, too. What if it was fun? Sexy, even? Or at least, not something to be scared of? Most importantly: what if it was just the price of admission to everything you wanted to have, create, and become? If you saw failure as a ticket to your dreams, I bet you'd be more into it. So I'm here to help, and most importantly: I want to help you stop making fails mean anything bad about YOU.  I myself was fresh off a new fail (and it's too perfect because it's my new meet up called ...F.A.I.L. club! my first attempt to launch it was a fail!) I've got your back, I'm out here with you, so let's look at this together, and I promise you'll come away with a whole new view on failure, success, and how to become the version of you who is willing to be fully alive in learning (FAIL!) every step of the way. By the way, I'm so glad you're here! thanks for listening.

Congratulations! You embarked on a creative adventure. You made it through the woods and faced a lot of formidable forces.  But watch your back, friend. You're not safe yet.  In the final installment of this mini-series, we'll face: 👹 The Judgmental Jerk Beast — this creature wants to shred your work (and your spirit) with "this sucks." 👹 The Lullaby Monster — the sneaky whisper that convinces you to stop now and "maybe try again later" 👹 The Fake Out — this monster disguises itself as a friendly face, but their careless criticism will leave you crushed.   I'll share protective spells, practical weapons, and a final pep talk to help you keep your joy, protect your art, and return to your creativity again and again.   Because winning the creative gauntlet isn't about talent or perfection. It's about this: ⭐️ Start ⭐️ Get through it ⭐️ Celebrate  ⭐️ Go again   Every trip through the forest makes the monsters smaller—and your magic stronger.   PS. Doors are open for TIGER MYSTICS! Magic, community, coaching and strategy for being your wildest, truest, most open-hearted self. Second cohort starts in September. If you want in, let me know by sending a message to [email protected] I'm so glad you're here! Let's hang out: https://amandagoldlifecoach.com @tigermystics @amandagoldlifecoach and I'm on facebook  

👻Episode 2: Making it through the woods without freaking out and giving up.  You did it—you started. You stopped making excuses, you dealt with the discomfort and you started CREATING.  Brush to canvas, marker to paper, hot glue gun to a piece of wood you found in the alley…… you're IN the forest now. And with that victory comes… the mid-making monster gauntlet.   This is the part where the snake-monster slithers in to hiss, "This sucks. You suck." Where the banshee screeches, "What will people think?" Where the quicksand of perfectionism tries to smother the joy right out of you.   In this second episode of our 3-part creative gauntlet series, I've got a lantern and a bunch of magical tools to help you keep going and build your creative chops, so that eventually creating isn't so hard. Remember, it's your birthright. If it's scary and challenging now, it doesn't mean you're not meant to do it. I can help.    With things like… ✨ The Oops Amulet  🧭 The Joy Compass  💨 The Five-Breath Reset    And powerful spells like "whose bullshit is this" and "what would love say"   We'll bust the lies of perfectionism, "shoulds," fears and doubts, and build your courage and ability to keep making your art no matter what. Reclaim your right to make stuff.  Your only job is to keep going.   Psst: The next Tiger Mystics cohort kicks off in September. It's where we mix creative magic + spiritual power, and you belong here. Hop on my email list to be first to know.

🎨 Episode 1: Before You Make a Mark Before you make a single mark, the creative monsters show up. They whisper: "I'm not creative. I don't have time. This is selfish. I don't even know where to start." In the first episode of this 3-part mini-series, we bust through the pre-creation gauntlet together. I'll warn you about what to expect in the pre-making phase, remind you why this trip is worth taking (because creative play is actually radical, soul-nourishing work) and I'll hand you a few magical tools to help you get past this stage—like: ✨ The 5-Minute Timer Spell 🧙🏼The Sacred Mess Cloak 🪄The Beginner's Wand (aka: pick up a marker and do something, ANYthing! ) Your only mission today: make ONE mark. A line, a scribble, a dot. That's it. Because the act of beginning has its own magic—and it's how the creative adventure begins.     PSST: have you heard about Tiger Mystics? It's a new movement, and we're looking for new cohort members to join us in September....Join my email list to stay in the know.  Also, you're always welcome to email me at [email protected] to share thoughts, ideas, questions, comments...I'd love to hear from ya.  Big love, Amanda amandagoldlifecoach.com facebook IG: @amandagoldlifecoach @tigermystics

I can't believe it's taken me this long to share what's going on in the first incredible cohort of Tiger Mystics, my newest offering that I started in June.  Also, yes I can believe it, because it's too magical for words.  But I'm committed to at least TRYING to put what we're doing into words, because you all deserve to know, so you can join us for round 2 in September. And also because you need to know that there are beautiful pockets of beauty and magic and hope and healing, and in a world that increasingly feels bereft of those things, I think it's important to know that good is thriving, people care,  and anyone can create communities like this.  But Tiger Mystics is truly a special and stunning happening, and it's giving me life in ways I can't explain.  Although, like I said...I'm game to try. This episode is the first attempt to let you in on some of what we're up to: how the idea for Tiger Mystics was born and what it represents what we're up to in there and how it works a lovely (unsolicited!) testimonial from one of the members   And of course, you're invited to join us in September. This is a movement, and we're just getting started. Tiger Mystics wants YOU if you feel called!

Hey all,  last episode I gave you my argument about why it makes really good sense to "get a god", to choose, on purpose, to pick a God-concept and just....believe. Have faith in something bigger than you.    THIS episode is the second part of that, for those of you who took me up on it.  So if you think having a God makes sense, and now you're wondering, now what? this is for you.  It's short and sweet, and I share my best tips for starting that relationship and keeping it going. Nothing hard or complicated required, just curiosity, willingness, and some practical things that you're probably already doing in your human relationships ;)   I'd love to hear from you! Got feedback? Questions? Comments? Ideas for future episodes? email me at [email protected]   Check out my website here: https://Amandagoldlifecoach.com   You can also follow me on facebook, I'm on IG @amandagoldlifecoach, or @tigermystics    sign up for very occasional emails here.    Or book a free consultation to see if 1:1 coaching with me is a great fit!   Thank you for joining me! I'm so glad you're here 💖  

This one's kinda spicy. Today I'm making a case for choosing to believe in a Higher Power—call it God, or don't (but that's the vibe)— not because it's right, but because it might just be the smartest, most strategic way to make your life actually work better. I'm not here to sell you a specific God, practice, or path. I'm offering a radical reframe: Believing in something bigger than you isn't a fantasy or a crutch—it's power. It's fuel. It's resilience. It's magic and grounding and guidance, all wrapped up in one deeply personal, custom-built connection. Most importantly? It's your RIGHT to feel that connection and to have that access.  And if you used to believe—but got wounded by the church or burned by religion— I especially and lovingly invite you to hang out with me in this episode. Let's see if we can't start to heal some of that together... I'd love to help you come back home. Here are some of the things we'll cover: Yessss, this whole thing *radiates* your voice—convicted, welcoming, a little irreverent, and full of heart. This middle section is already strong, but I'll offer just a few optional tweaks for rhythm, punch, and alignment with your most magnetic phrasing: 🌀 Why it doesn't matter if you can PROVE it—only if it's helpful and if it works 🌀 What life feels like with God vs. without 🌀 How belief helps you stay generous, grounded, and strong 🌀 The difference between real spirituality and spiritual bypassing 🌀 How faith fuels justice, activism, grief, and purpose 🌀 Why believing won't make you weak or checked out—it'll make you more down to earth, more engaged, and more YOU. This episode isn't about dogma. It's about permission. To try it on. To get curious. To build a spiritual relationship that actually feels like home. To live from that place of co-creation, ease, and inner power. If you've ever wanted to believe—but didn't know how, or were afraid to look foolish—this one's for you. You don't have to get it perfect. You just have to be willing. 🎧 Tune in. Try it on. Let's see what unfolds. I'm so glad you're here, let's keep the conversation going!  Find me on Facebook here.... or IG @amandagoldlifecoach or @tigermystics And feel free to just send me an email with thoughts, comments or ideas for future episodes: [email protected] also you can check out my website here.   Thanks for listening!   

  Today we are celebrating episode 20 with the first guest interview! This one is so special…   Allow me the sincere pleasure of introducing you to Bridgid Berkano—creative, mystic, and coach, and just a really cool person. She was the perfect guest for my very first interview—partly because the timing was just lovely, and mostly because she *really gets it* when it comes to being fully human as spiritual practice. Perfect company here on *Unlightened.* We're definitely peas in a pod, and it's such an honor to share this conversation with you.   We talked about creativity—not just as something you *do,* but as a way of *being* that can hold you through massive transitions, identity shifts, and those big, messy seasons of change (including the ones where little kids and real life make it hard to find your flow).   We explored:   ✨ how to get creative with *how* you're creative ✨ why claiming your identity as an artist, maker, or feeler-of-deep-things is powerful AF ✨ how authenticity is actually an experiment ✨ creativity as a life and death issue—literally ✨ and what it takes to let old selves go without losing your sense of self   And there's some extra magic… Bridgid sings to us at the end😍 A blessing for the collective altar we're building together—whether you know you're a creative, or you're still remembering.   Follow Bridgid on IG @bridgid.berkano Here's her website: https://www.bridgidberkano.com And her podcast! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-five-petal-podcast/id1801048981   Thank you so much for listening! Please feel free to send me a message with any questions, comments or ideas for future episodes: [email protected]   And join me on Facebook here….   Sign up for my email newsletter here (this will also keep you in the loop for the next Tiger Mystics cohort!)   And you can check out my website here: https://amandagoldlifecoach.com Til next time, keep being UnLIGHTENED✨🥰

  How do you know when it's time to let go of the thing you really wanted?  How do you know when your brain's just trying to talk you out of something you really do want? How do you quit with integrity? Or keep yourself from quitting?  Or accept that something just isn't meant to be?   In this final episode of the goals series, we explore these questions and more….what happens when a goal no longer fits, when a dream dissolves, or when life delivers a plot twist you didn't see coming.   We'll talk about: 💫 How to know when it's time to release a goal—with love and integrity 💫 The difference between resistance and redirection 💫 Why your brain resists change (and how to outsmart it) 💫 How to stay in devotion to yourself no matter what.   💫 The grief of letting go—and believing the essence of what you want is always available.     I'll also share a personal story about pregnancy loss and what it taught me about surrender, healing, and the deeper revelations of desire.   It's been so fun to do this series, and I love this episode as a finale.    Nothing is wasted. You're not behind. And more will always be revealed.    P.S. Next episode I'll be sharing a very special guest with you, and the first ever interview on Unlightened! Woohoo!   And hey! If anything has shifted for you with goals, I'd love to hear about it. Or just whatever's on your mind.

Don't give up before the miracle happens.   This episode is about what it means to stay — with your dreams, with your growth, with yourself.   If you've ever rushed past a win, downplayed your progress, or skipped celebrating because it "wasn't a big deal," this one's for you.   We're unpacking:   * Why celebration is a spiritual practice (not a frivolous extra) * How your brain sabotages your ability to feel proud * What it actually takes to become someone who finishes things * How staying with your success builds emotional endurance and makes your goals sustainable * Real-life ways to honor your wins (it doesn't have to be all confetti and party-hats) This is about building a life where every bit of progress counts on your way to your next becoming. You'll hear personal stories, and learn about the celebration drawer 🎉 and get a mini-practice to help bask in the glow of the good, find lots of moments to feel proud (it's not the icky thing we were taught!) and stop abandoning yourself so you can keep going, stay with your dreams and see 'em through the finish line. You're doing better than you think — this episode will help you feel that.  🎉 One more to go! Episode 19 will close out the series by exploring how to know if it's time to let go of a goal and what happens when you lose interest, or if it's just not working out. Time to put it to rest? Time to double down? We'll talk about it.    ✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅✨🐅 The first cohort of TIGER MYSTICS begins on June 25th, 2025.

"Over here" is taking action even when you're shakin' in your boots.  First, I apologize the audio isn't as good as usual, BUT this is a good episode so I encourage you to hang in there (it's also shorter than usual, so you don't have to bear with it for long) NOW. This episode is another attempt to push, pull, encourage, love, cheerlead and rally you into ACTION. And WHY am I so gung-ho over here? because this is where we grow. it's where we come alive. And it feels SO much better than staying stuck, thinking about your goals but not moving on them, holding yourself back, or spinning out in overwhelm and fear.  No matter the results, movement and progress and action feel SO good to that part of you who came here to move, learn, try, explore, and experience...and ultimately expand. If you won't take action, you're missing out. So I'm here to help.  This episode also has a brief visualization exercise to help you find a more pleasant and easeful way of approaching action.  Come out and play. :)   I always love to hear from you! email me at [email protected] with suggestions, comments, ahas, or questions.    And let's hang out! I'm on Facebook here   and on IG @tigermystics  SPEAKING OF TIGER MYSTICS! the first cohort rides on the 25th, and if you want in, make sure to book a consultation call to get the details. Email me to set that up. It's THE group for good people doing good work who want to make good money.

What if all your fails were just badges of honor, or tickets into the coolest club in town? Today's a great episode for you if you're scared to fail, if you have big fails that haunt you from the past, or if you just really resist the whole possibility of failure, and the aftermath. I got you.  We'll unpack why we're so scared of failure, how fear of success is just another side of the 'fear of failure' coin, how to fail better, why to bother getting on board with failure...plus I'll give you some paradigm shifts, new identities and reframes that will make failure more doable and even....fun?! ok, maybe it'll never be fun but it CAN feel worthwhile and expansive and life-giving. There are some journaling questions for you to heal from past fails, and just too much helpful goodness to mention here. This could be the missing piece that stops you from holding back and playing full out in your life.    I mention this amazing practitioner in the show, here's their link  and I got the fable from this site  https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/fellows/the-story-of-the-chinese-farmer/   plus more info on the origins of the story.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_old_man_lost_his_horse#:~:text=The%20first%20known%20version%20of,was%20compiled%20around%20139%20BCE.   ✨🐅Book your TIGER MYSTICS consult here.... https://calendly.com/kickasswithbothfeet/tiger-mystics and as always I would love to hear from you!

Let's actually set some goals that don't suck. In this episode, we're getting real about how to set goals that feel true, doable, and actually energizing—instead of pressure-filled or performative. You'll learn: * How to tell if a goal is rooted in your truth—or in people-pleasing and pressure * Why "small" goals are often the smartest (especially for your nervous system) - hint: make it so small your brain complains about how that'll never be good enough...that's a really good one ;) * A way to set goals in pairs to make sure they have meaning for YOU, and that you're growing as you go * Rituals and creative practices to make your goals feel sacred and alive * 2 ideas for creating your plan, the road you want to take to get to your goal (including important pieces that typically get left out) *and infinite reassurance that this gets to feel good and fun and be FOR you.  This isn't about hustle. It's about choosing goals that grow you without burning you out. And yep—I finally share more about ✨Tiger Mystics✨, my new small-group magical coaching experience for spirit-led creatives ready to claim their magic *and* make good money. Stick around for that in the outro. ------ Wanna keep the conversation going?

In this episode of *Unlightened,* you'll learn more about how to get to the heart of what you want, how to create the essence of what you wanna feel NOW, and how to figure out if a goal is really right for you, or if it's a fake/ pressure-y goal that you've been duped into carrying.  You'll learn how to figure out what you *actually* want—separate from cultural expectations, pressure to perform, or chasing someone else's version of success. You'll also learn how to clean up the motivations behind a goal, so that what once felt heavy and inauthentic can feel fun and aligned instead.  We'll explore: * How feelings really work (thoughts play a BIG part but they aren't the whole story) * Why we often want things because of how we *think* they'll make us feel * How to identify the true emotional essence behind your goals * Practical steps to generate those feelings now, and create from that place You'll also be guided through a reflective process to clarify your desires, plus a simple somatic + visualization practice to help you embody the feelings you're craving—right now, no goal achievement required. Whether you keep your current goals or shift them completely, this episode will help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and approach your life from alignment, not urgency. _________________________________   what do you think of this series so far?

  Let's be honest—most of us have chased a goal hoping it would finally make us feel loved, seen, safe, or successful. (Hi, emotional pack mules.)   This week on *Unlightened*, we're untangling all the hidden hopes we quietly pin to our goals—and exploring what happens when we stop asking them to fix our feelings and start creating from truth instead.   If you've ever thought "Once I finally get/ do/ achieve _____________, then I'll feel okay," this one's for you.   We'll explore why we do this, how to meet your own needs now, and what becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your worth to your goals. This episode is full of radical self-honesty, sneaky goal detangling magic, and a few personal stories of how I learned (and am still learning) to give myself what I thought achievements were supposed to deliver. If you want to feel more clear, powerful, and connected to what you actually want—hit play. AND! I'd love to hear from you! Got feedback? Questions? Comments?

So you can also go ahead and book a consult to reserve your spot early. We ride in June!

  In this episode of *Unlightened*, we're diving deep into something I've seen again and again in coaching: "goal trauma", or goal aversion. Why the heck do you hate goals so much? This is where we unpack that and look at where your resistance and pain *actually* come from—like going too big too fast, internalizing other people's judgment, chasing goals that were never even yours, or hitting the goal and still feeling empty. (Been there!) We also talk about how typical goal-setting culture and teachings have left soul, creativity, and your humanity out of the equation.  If you've ever set a goal and then blamed yourself when it didn't feel good or didn't work out—this one's for you. Plus, I have some journaling prompts at the end to help you unpack your own history with goals so we can keep re-making the foundation for a new relationship with goals, and start building something that is good for you and fun, too.  💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I'd love to hear from you!

Find out more HERE

Welcome to a new series on *Unlightened* all about goals—but not the hustle-y, shame-filled icky corporate kind.   In this kickoff episode, we unpack why so many of us hate goals, or at least have a complicated relationship with them.  (spoiler: it's not your fault). We'll also explore what becomes possible when you set goals from love, devotion, and actual desire.   I think goals get a bad rap, and being misunderstood sucks, so let's set the record straight.    If you've used goals as tools of shame and perfectionism, this is the place to unlearn all of that, and try on a new way of relating to goals: as sacred allies, partners, and delightful ways to embrace your power as a creator.    Total transparency? MY goal is to get you to love goals. And I'll tell you all about it starting today.      Oh AND! I've announced my new offering, a small group adventure called TIGER MYSTICS. We ride this summer so if you're curious, stay tuned AND send me a message so you get first dibs on 1 of 10 spots. [email protected] Book a consult for 1:1 coaching here.  follow me on facebook!

Celebrate with me!! (and I'm celebrating you, if you're here listening!)  because this is episode 10, and it's a really big deal.  I'm using my experience of launching this podcast into the world as an example of what's possible for you when you stop talking about doing the thing and actually let yourself DO IT.  The rewards are just too good not to share...the deep feelings of satisfaction, pride, and joy; the excitement of learning new things, of being brave and figuring things out. You have to try it for yourself. And so I'm encouraging you to do just that.  PLUS, this episode kicks off a mini-series all about healing your relationship with goals. By the time I'm done with you, you will be SO into goals and goal setting. I see 'em as a mystical spiritual partnership and growth opportunity, and I want to invite you into that perspective as well, because it's WAY more fun.  So stick around, and enjoy this milestone moment in the meantime!    I'd love to hear from you!  hello@kickasswithbothfeet https://amandagoldlifecoach.com Book a free consult to discuss hiring me as your 1:1 coach!  Join my mailing list  to stay in the loop for free classes and the opening of my newest adventure called TIGER MYSTICS (stay tuned!)

The negative detrimental and harmful effects of staying blocked Then I'll get into the benefits of doing this work, seeing yourself differently , and moving past your fears and limiting beliefs to embrace your creative self and start living a more creative life. Towards the end we'll talk about why we get stuck, what we're scared of, how we get cut off. some common blocks, pitfalls and trepidations people have and how to get past those Finally, I'll identify the 3 most common places you might find yourself stuck in your creative expression, and help you get unstuck no matter where you are - with actionable steps and practices for each place.      🙌🔥🚨ATTENTION!

Are you telling yourself you'd do the thing but you just don't feel inspired? Are you not taking action because you don't feel motivated? Then this one's for you.  Those are common things we wait around for but they're actually overrated, and even unnecessary to take action and make progress towards your goals.  In this episode of *Unlightened*, I'm calling BS on the myth that you have to *feel like it* to do the thing. Whether it's art, laundry, applying for the job, or chasing your dreams, waiting for a lightning bolt of inspiration is usually just "I don't feel like it" in disguise. But don't worry—I'm not here to teach you how to force yourself to do all the things. This is about how to relate to yourself with love and kindness, not pressure and shame. You'll learn how to move forward when you don't feel like it, how to spot the difference between aligned effort and self-bullying, and how to generate real motivation when you want it.
