Intro - Episode 112
Today, we’re talking to psychotherapist and best-selling author, Amanda JP Brown. She’s Nashville-based by way of Arizona and Oregon. Her book is called: You’re Brave Enough: 8 Daily Practices to Be Your Own HERO.
Amanda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples. She understands how terrifying it can be to shine a light on your darkness as you journey toward healing and just how messy it can get as you begin to uncover the human you want to be.
In addition to her work as a psychotherapist and author, Amanda is a Reiki Healer and has been featured on several other podcasts discussing the courage it takes to rebuild your life confidently, free from shame and self judgment.
In her free time, Amanda loves spending time with her dog, Leroy, being creative, spending time with family/friends, listening to music and attending the ballet.
As a side note: I met Amanda through a mutual friend not too long ago, so I know her and how wonderful she is, and I know that she also loves to participate in ballet and makes a killer Brussels sprout dish, among other creative and adventurous pursuits.
So it’s no surprise to me that looking at ourselves and our romantic partnerships through a lens of curiosity rather than criticism is the defining undercurrent of this discussion, while specifically, we’re talking about marriage and divorce. We’re answering the big questions like how does early childhood impact the outcome of relationships, what generational trauma looks like in relationship, what’s at the root of compromising identity in relationships, and how do we even define marriage today — is it okay to make your own rules around it, how has society dictated the trajectory of the institution of marriage, and is it even still a valid institution in our modern society. Plus Amanda tells you what you need to know if you’re questioning your relationship.
In addition to her expertise in attachment, childhood and generational trauma, and shame and self worthiness issues, Amanda shares her own journey with marriage and divorce and what she did herself to heal.
I absolutely love this conversation and hope you do too. Let us know in the comments what resonates with you and how you define marriage.
Now, let’s dive in.

Hey friends. Research indicates that at least 70% of people in the U.S. alone have experienced trauma. That means you’ve likely experienced trauma and most of the people around you have to.
Simply put, people need healing.
I (Brandi) believe that as humans we have the capability to alleviate the suffering that we all believe is so inevitable. But getting there starts with healing yourself first with self compassion, intentionality, time, and repetition.
I have a free workshop to help with this. It’s called Self Healing the Root.
It’s a self-paced, online version of some of the foundational work I do with my clients as a trauma-informed certified coach and that I’ve also done to heal myself.
It’s designed to help you recognize and identify your specific nervous system responses and coping mechanisms to stressors. Then we build on that information to figure out the best ways you can regulate your specific nervous system responses when triggered. Then, we create a plan that will help you integrate through action what you want for yourself instead.
Healing these trauma responses can help you show up in the world more fully as who you really are. I want you to love who you are. And by the way, who you are is not your trauma or trauma responses.
You can REGISTER HERE.
But listen, this workshop is better suited for some than others depending on where you’re at in your trauma healing journey. Be sure to read the guidelines on the sign up page before you register to help you decide if this workshop is for you. And if it is, I can’t wait to see you there!
