In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Cindy sits down with Amanda Piña to explore the raw realities of healing, therapy, and the deeply human experience of navigating emotions. Together, they dive into the mental health field, sharing both professional insights and personal stories.They discuss the journey of self-healing, the impact of core beliefs, and how our early conditioning shapes the way we show up in relationships. Amanda opens up about her path to becoming a children's therapist and the emotional toll addiction took on her family. They unpack relationship dynamics—like being a reacher vs. a leaner—and the often-unspoken in-between stage of grief, growth, and finding oneself again.From embracing sadness to celebrating wins like walking in fashion shows, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear—but it’s always worth it.Timestamps:06:06 – The Therapist's Journey: Insights into Therapy17:49 – Intellectualization: Understanding and Processing Emotions23:47 – Choosing a Path: Becoming a Children's Therapist01:01:12 – Core Beliefs and Their Influence01:12:43 – The Journey of Self-Healing and Accountability01:19:41 – Embracing Emotions: The Power of Sadness01:32:17 – Navigating Relationships: Reachers vs. Leaners01:46:21 – The Impact of Addiction: A Sister's Journey02:00:23 – Embracing New Opportunities02:14:09 – Navigating Change and Growth02:20:27 – Grieving the Old Self02:34:47 – Defining Self-LoveConnect with us:
