Summary

In this season two episode of After Hours With Amanda, I’m talking about empathy, self-love, self-sabotage, therapy, and what it actually means to be kind to myself when nobody else is listening.

This one starts with therapy and physical activity, but it turns into a bigger conversation about Doc Martens, old wounds, motherhood, online criticism, comparison, and why empathy helps me parent my tiny humans with more softness.

I’m learning that pain does not have to be a competition, self-love has to become an action, and sometimes empathy is the thing that protects my energy.
