Amanda grew up in California and was raised in the church by loving parents, but quickly started seeing that her childhood was anything but perfect. In fact, the first chance she got, she left home and put her childhood in the rearview...at least she thought she did. Amanda found herself at 18 years old, on her own, thousands of miles away from everything she knew, in the bright lights of Nashville, TN. Come along for the journey as Amanda talks about the heartbreaks, her years abroad in China, and how her relationships with God, herself, and close friends have taken many shapes along the way. In this episode, Amanda sits down with her therapist, Brendan McCarthy to chat through lessons learned in her nearly 5 years of therapy at SESSIONS.
