Back to the Heart- Healing, Mindset, and Manifesting Transformation

Many women grow up learning how to care for everyone else, yet very few learn how to receive love, pleasure, and deep connection themselves.
In this episode of Back to the Heart, Amanda is joined by Victoria Eisenhower, host of the podcast Love and Lattes, for a powerful conversation about intimacy, self-connection, and rediscovering what it means to truly receive.
Victoria shares her personal journey through divorce, healing, and self-discovery that eventually led her to create a podcast centered around love, relationships, and honest conversations about intimacy. Together, Amanda and Victoria explore why so many women struggle with pleasure, how people-pleasing disconnects us from our own needs, and how curiosity and communication can transform both our relationship with ourselves and our romantic partnerships.
They also discuss the importance of slowing down, creating space for joy, and choosing yourself in a world that constantly pushes hustle and performance.
If you've ever felt disconnected from your own pleasure, unsure how to communicate your needs, or curious about deepening intimacy in your life, this conversation offers powerful insights and a new perspective.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why many women struggle with intimacy and receiving
 • How curiosity can transform communication in relationships
 • The role of self-connection in creating fulfilling partnerships
 • Why pleasure and joy are essential parts of healing
 • How choosing yourself can shift the entire direction of your life

Book 1:1 with Amanda

What if you aren’t asking for too much love?
What if you’re asking for a level of love that requires more emotional capacity than exists in the relationship right now?
When depth feels missing in a relationship, it can create frustration, confusion, and self-doubt — especially when you know what you want and you’ve communicated it clearly. In this episode, Amanda explores the concept of emotional capacity and how your relationship with yourself shapes what you experience with others.
You’ll learn why people can only give love to the depth they’ve developed inside themselves — and why receiving love also requires capacity. Through personal stories and grounded insights, Amanda explains how self-love, nervous system safety, and embodiment directly impact relationship dynamics, clarity, and fulfillment.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, this episode will help you understand why — and what actually creates change.
✨ In This Episode You’ll Learn
What emotional capacity in relationships really means
Why someone may care about you but still be unable to meet your needs
The difference between sacrifice and healthy love
Why we sometimes stay when we know something isn’t enough
How self-love affects your ability to receive love from others
Why relationships shift when your internal capacity grows
The connection between identity, embodiment, and relationship clarity
❤️ Who This Episode Is For
This episode is for anyone who:
Feels unmet or frustrated in a romantic relationship
Wonders why they’re giving more than they’re receiving
Has done personal growth work but still feels stuck in relationship patterns
Wants deeper emotional intimacy, connection, and alignment
Is learning how to come back to themselves and build self-trust
🌿 Key Takeaway
Love doesn’t change because someone else finally gets it right.
Love changes when your capacity changes.
When your relationship with yourself shifts… everything else reorganizes.

Book 1:1 with Amanda

What if clarity isn’t something you need to figure out—but something your body is already communicating?
In this episode of Back to the Heart, Amanda is joined by Cherry Cherepanov for a grounded, real-life conversation about Human Design through the lens of self-trust, intuition, and everyday decision-making.
Rather than treating Human Design as a label or identity to follow, this conversation explores it as a practical, supportive framework—one that helps you understand how your energy works, how you’re designed to make decisions, and how to work with yourself instead of against yourself.
They also talk about how Human Design can complement the healing work you’re already doing—including mindset work, therapy, coaching, and other modalities—without replacing any of it.
This episode is for anyone who values self-awareness, embodiment, and living more authentically, and who wants practical insight into how they’re designed to move through life with more ease.
In this episode, we explore:
How Human Design supports self-trust and intuition
Why clarity often lives in the body, not the mind
Understanding your energy and decision-making style
Working with yourself instead of forcing change
Using Human Design alongside other healing tools
✨ Notice what resonates as you listen—your body often highlights what’s meant for you.

Book 1:1 with Amanda

Have you ever felt like you’re doing the healing work… but life still feels like the same emotional day on repeat?
In this solo episode — and in celebration of one year of the Back to the Heart podcast — Amanda shares the powerful story behind her own “Groundhog Day loop,” the patterns she repeated for years, and the identity shift that helped her finally break free.
This episode is for the woman who feels stuck in cycles like people pleasing, emotional disconnection, survival mode, or choosing the familiar over the true. You’ll hear how discomfort can become the doorway to a quantum leap, why your body holds the truth, and a simple embodied practice to reconnect with yourself and begin creating a life that feels safe, aligned, and real.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to choose yourself… this is it. 🧡✨
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT
Why repeating patterns can feel “comfortable” even when they’re draining you
The difference between surviving life vs. enjoying life
How identity loops form through conditioning, chaos, and caretaking roles
What it means to live in an “uncomfortably comfortable” reality
Why your body always tells the truth (and how to listen)
The shift from people pleasing to self-trust and emotional safety
A simple somatic practice to feel what you actually believe
How to stop repeating cycles and start choosing a new identity
An invitation into Soul to Solstice — a Back to the Heart journey into soul partnership
QUICK EMBODIMENT PRACTICE FROM THIS EPISODE
Say these out loud and notice what happens in your body:
“I love my life.”
“I love myself.”
“What a life I get to live.”
Notice where you feel openness… tightness… resistance… or truth.
 Your body is giving you information — and that information becomes the path back home.
THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…
You feel stuck in the same patterns, relationships, or emotional loops
You’ve been doing the mindset work but you want real embodiment
You’re ready to stop people pleasing and start trusting yourself
You want love that feels emotionally safe, grounded, and real
You’re craving a fresh start that actually lasts

Book 1:1 with Amanda

In this heart-opening episode, I’m joined by Meredith Walters — an author and coach whose work blends storytelling, intuition, and the healing wisdom of the natural world.
Meredith’s award-winning novel, This Animal Body, draws from her decades of reconnecting with nature as well as her personal journey through anxiety and depression. Her experiences with animals, the woods, and the quiet truths of the natural world come alive in this conversation as we talk about what it really means to “return home” to yourself.
We explore some of the book’s most powerful lines, including:
✨ “With time, you were designed to find your way back home…”
✨ “The only time we ever see the truth clearly is when we’re confused.”
Together, we dive into:
 – How confusion can become a doorway to deeper truth
 – The healing we find in animals, nature, and belonging
 – Why our bodies hold wisdom our minds often overlook
 – Her journey back to creativity after childhood disconnection
 – How reconnection becomes the path to clarity, purpose, and self-trust
