Have you ever thought or said to yourself:

✔️Man, that person is lucky...I wish I had what they had.
✔️I keep trying to reach my "goal", but I just can't seem to get there.
✔️When I get to point "X", everything will fall in line.

What is lacking in each of these statements?

A conviction to what YOU want. An understanding of what you truly desire in life.

With concepts like FOMO, "Keeping Up With The Jones", "Stay Ahead" driving our society, it is no wonder we are moving farther and farther away from ourselves, knowing who we truly are and what we truly want and desire.

Starting off your Monday and moving through the remainder of this week, and maybe even beyond (until you begin to connect with a deeper layer of yourself), I want you to ask yourself "what do I truly want?" When you receive an answer, ask the next MOST important question:

WHY?

And keep asking WHY until you cannot answer why any longer.

If your last why is connected to you...you have a starting point to explore.
If your last why is connected to someone else...you now know that your goal is connected to someone else and you may need to reroute and let go of that goal.

Reflection...honest reflection is not easy. But it is deeply needed in today's society if we are truly meant to step into our "authentic" self.

Friendly Reminder:

This is not the first time I have shared this quote. And it won't be the last.

In a world where we are tip-toeing around each others feelings, where we have been taught that you shouldn't hurt anyone, where we have fostered an environment of fear of judgement, fear of cancellation, fear of anything and everyone because the "whole world is watching", we have created an absolute mess.

Amanda's 1st Perspective of the World:

The world we have created is K!lling our mental health. We are self-monitoring, self-editing, self-cancelling to the point that even though we may say we are being our true authentic self, we are likely far from it. We are acting the part. We are playing the role. We are walking on eggshells to come off as (insert the adjective that feels good). Because we are self-monitoring for other people's "comfort and health" we are minimizing who we are, our thoughts, our feelings, etc.

Amanda's 2nd Perspective of the World:

People who judge without truly knowing who someone is, that is a reflection of them. Let's be real, we live in a world that has the attention span of a gold fish (for those who don't know, that is about 8-seconds). If someone THINKs they know another after 8-seconds, they aren't a person who are currently able to see depth and context of the world around them. And that is just where they are at right now...doesn't mean we all have to be there.

Amanda's 3rd Perspective of the World:

We cannot control other people, their lives, their thoughts, etc. This is the hardest one because most of us do it because we want to help others, we want to see less suffering in the world, we want others to be happy, etc. (and I will say I feel this one too...It is hard to see hurt around you and to not "help" is hard!). But everyone is going to make their own choices.

Let's call some things out. If we truly cared about each other, if we were truly in this together, we would respect and honor the individuality of those around us and be a true "humanist" (i.e. someone who sees each individual as a human first and foremost, not their roles, their identities, their traits, etc.). We can support one another by walking along side each other when it is ASKED for and share our wisdom and experience WHEN ASKED for. Outside of this, we cannot force ourselves on one another or force change in someone's life because we THINK it's right. The changes won't be permanent because they weren't meant for the person/people we are trying to help...they were meant for those of us forcing the change.

Putting this in context with this quote, the people who matter are the people who truly do not mind who you are. They see and hear, or want to see and hear, your human before anything else. They want to know your experience, your perspective, they will ask questions to further learn more or even challenge your perspective (not to change, but to present another point of view). They may not agree with everything you say, but they will respect the conversation and who you are. The people who judge on the exterior, superficial traits, yeah...they "don't matter". They don't matter because they are not ready for depth, to understand the complexity of the human in front of them, or the differences that may exist. I personally hope that this is a temporary state but we won't know until a shift happens. And until the shift takes place, they don't deserve your time, your energy or your resources because they aren't yet ready to see or hear YOU.

It can be a challenge to be yourself, truly and deeply. I am also included in this group...it is something that I am continuously working on everyday (And this post is a big a one...this is full Amanda). But you know what, the people that I have met over the past few years who truly see me for who I am, they are the best freaking humans I could ever ask for. And for that awareness alone, I will keep trucking through the hard.

I hope you do as well💜

Coming off a summer hiatus from social media, I figured it was a good time to reintroduce myself—especially if you're new here or just getting to know my work.

Below you'll find a few core principles that guide how I work as a practitioner. But first, I want to introduce me—Amanda—the human behind Honor Wellness.

Through my own healing experience (which is always on going) and years of working with others, I’ve learned the value of a whole-body approach to healing. So much of our pain—especially the chronic, nagging kind—has its roots in our body’s.

Many of us know that “the body keeps the score,” but we like to think, “that’s not me... I’ve got it under control.” We say things like:

✔️“I’m fine.” (And I'll throw myself under the bus here, this is one of my favorites...I'm not perfect and won't claim to be)
✔️“I’m good/ok.”
✔️"I can help fix it/them."
✔️“I’ll deal with it when life slows down.”

Sound familiar?

These quiet background thoughts? They’re often clues—old stories or protective patterns that keep us spinning in the same cycle, without real relief.

✨ That’s where I come in.

As an Integrative Body Therapist, I support people in getting curious about what their body is holding—and why. I work with the body, mind, and spirit because (spoiler alert) they’re not actually separate. They are all connected.

I use somatic work and other body-based practices to gently uncover, feel, and release what's been stuck. It's not about fixing you—because you're not broken. It’s about helping you hear and feel who you truly are more clearly.

And if you're reading this thinking, “Mmm… not for me,” that’s okay. I’ll be here if and when you're ready.

For those who are curious, here are a few guiding principles in my practice:

1️⃣ I’m here for your human.
Not your job title, not the roles you play, the identities you project, not the “I’ve-got-it-all-together” version of you. Just your real, unfiltered self. The one who’s tired, or unsure, or quietly wondering, “What if things could feel different?”

2️⃣ I meet you where you are.
No pushing. No cliff-jumping. Most often times, we start with breath. And yes, it sounds simple—but feeling safe enough to truly breathe? That’s where the work begins.

3️⃣ I listen.
Not to fix, not to judge, not to respond right away. But to hold space, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in uncovering you.

Like I said—this kind of work can feel scary, even unnecessary. But if you're one of the curious ones? Reach out. Sometimes the smallest step—like starting a conversation—is actually the most powerful one.

Friendly Reminder of the Day:

If your words come from a kind, respectful place, others reactions to them are their responsibility, not yours. It is not your job to regulate and/or protect others from hard conversations and/or perspectives.

Too many of us make ourselves smaller, less than, or lock ourselves up for fear of “triggering” others. A dear friend said to me yesterday “that is what they (triggers) are there for”. To learn/gain insight into the work that is needed within us. This was beautifully said and I wanted to share it with you all as food for thought on this Friday.

One of my favorite quotes 👇👇👇

Think about it😊
