S5EP:1 Shes Baaaack! Relocating, ASD & Album Release!

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Season 5 of The Thriving & Surviving Podcast! Amanda's back, and she's got a lot to fill you in on. This first episode is a real, unfiltered life update on the three big things that have shaped the last little while: coming to terms with an ASD diagnosis and how it's reframed the way she sees herself and the world, the emotional rollercoaster of packing up and moving to a new home, and the wild, vulnerable journey of finally releasing an album. Expect plenty of honesty, a few laughs, and the usual reminder that you can be both thriving and surviving at the same time. Settle in - it's good to be back.

S4E6: Our “Romantic” Weekend Away (lol)

Send us Fan Mail Join me and Madi on a very unserious getaway — this episode was recorded on the drive up to the Sunny Coast, where romance was nowhere in sight, but chaos and questionable snacks definitely were. We chat road trip confessions, friendships that feel like therapy, and all the random sh*t that comes up when you're stuck in a car for hours Support the show Find us on instagram: @thethrivingandsurvivingpod_ @coach_amandajane Wild Discount: AMANDALOVES CLICK HERE www.estro-physiques.com.au
