Episode 3: Trust as an Action, Not Just a Feeling

Season 1, Ep. 3

In this toolbox episode, we dive into debunking the views on trust and the inaction of it. Instead, we will discuss the feeling of trust, how to tune in and familiarize yourself, and how to reprogram the brain to take action with trust instead of against it.

  • 13. Following What Feels Good...The Rest Are Just Details

    31:23||Season 3, Ep. 13
    This week’s episode is a little love note to anyone caught in the tug-of-war between what they think they should be doing and what actually feels good.I riff on this idea that when you follow the natural rhythm of your life—your timing, your edges, your curiosity—the exact shape your path takes becomes less important. The logistics, the “how,” the sequence… those are just details. What really matters is how it feels in your body as you’re living it, and whether it adds to the life you’re intentionally creating.We talk about the sneaky ways “shoulds” show up—not just from society, but even from spirituality. The pressure to be aligned, healed, high-vibe, intuitive, surrendered… all of it can become its own set of rules if we’re not careful. And sometimes the most spiritual thing is simply choosing what feels nourishing instead of what looks “right.”This episode is an invitation back to your own rhythm—messy, human, intuitive, and completely yours.
  • 12. Conversations with Friends: Annabel van Westerop

    01:05:31||Season 3, Ep. 12
    This week I’m joined by my friend Annabel, who’s one of those quietly powerful people — grounded, deeply intuitive, and endlessly curious about the energetic layers of life.We talk about her path from being a professional kiteboarder to working in energetic therapy and astrocartography— and how themes of discipline, individualism, and self-drive eventually led her toward burnout, and then into expansion.We get into what astrocartography really is — how different places in the world hold different energetic influences and how understanding them can bring clarity to the season you’re in, your purpose, and why certain places feel like home (or don’t). She invites the idea of remembering it’s not just you shaping your path — there are larger forces moving with you.Lastly, Annabel shares insight on how this modality allows you to connect to the energy of the place you’re already in — to see it for what it’s teaching you, to embrace all it's giving, and ultimately, to come back to the home within yourself.To book a reading with Annabel and/or sign up for her newsletter, you can find her website here.To follow along on her socials click here.To follow along no my socials and access more about my podcast and my work you can follow me on instagram or sign up for my posts on substack Or you can learn more about my offerings at https://www.amandakeltz.com/
  • 11. The Mirror Effect

    50:32||Season 3, Ep. 11
    This week, we’re exploring the mirror that relationships (in this case we focus on romantic) hold up for us— how they often reflect what’s asking to be seen within ourselves. Instead of taking those reflections as proof to run, hide, or react, what if we used them as invitations to get curious? Rather than running from what’s reflected, we talk about how to pause, ask better questions, and approach these moments with openness instead of resistance.I share a mix of personal moments and stories from friends and clients that show how this mirroring plays out in real life — how it can reveal old patterns, deepen understanding, and open the door to clearer communication. We also talk about the importance of perspective: leaning on trusted friends, a therapist, or a coach to help you see the situation through a different lens when emotions cloud the view.It’s a conversation about learning through reflection — not to fix or defend, but to expand our awareness and grow in connection.my substack is: https://amandakeltz.substack.com/my website is: https://www.amandakeltz.com/
  • 10. Ramblings From an Acupuncture Appointment

    35:13||Season 3, Ep. 10
    This week’s episode is a post-acupuncture ramble that turned into something pretty clarifying. I dive into two of the five elements of Chinese medicine and how they shape our behaviors, tendencies, and the way we move through the world. I share what was taught to me, how it helped me better understand my own needs for balance, and how we can honor the different elements in the people we love.We talk about interacting with others who might be more influenced by a different element than us, the art of finding equilibrium when life feels like a pendulum swing, and how nervous system dysregulation (and the path back to regulation) keeps weaving its way into our stories.It’s part reflection, part teaching, and a little bit of catching up — an exploration of how honoring our natural makeup can help us live with more compassion for ourselves and others.
  • 9. The Power of Anchors

    28:49||Season 3, Ep. 9
    This week’s episode is all about anchors — the practices, relationships, and inner truths that keep us steady when life feels unsteady. Anchors aren’t just a concept I’m exploring; they’ve been lifelines in every season of rebuilding, reshaping, and remembering who I am. I share how I first started reaching for them, what they’ve looked like in my own journey, and why they matter when everything around us is shifting. We’ll talk about how anchors can hold us without holding us back and how to identify your own to keep in your back pocket amidst change, boredom, comfort, and discovery.For 1:1 work: https://www.amandakeltz.com/
  • 8. Decisions That Actually Feel Good

    19:59||Season 3, Ep. 8
    This week’s episode is a short but powerful one. We’re talking about decision-making — not from the heady place of “what should I do” or the labels we chase (the job title, the relationship status, the box to check) — but from the deeper place of how you want to feel in your life.I walk you through what it means to choose based on feelings instead of nouns and adjectives, and why this shift matters so much for long-term fulfillment. When we anchor into the feelings we’re seeking — freedom, connection, ease, inspiration — our choices begin to line up with the life we actually want to live, not just the one we think we’re supposed to build.If you’ve been spinning in indecision or searching for clarity, this episode will help you ground into what really matters and give you a reminder that alignment starts with your inner world.Substack : https://amandakeltz.substack.com/p/melancholic-worries-and-tough-love1:1 Info: https://www.amandakeltz.com/
  • 7. No Regrets

    31:36||Season 3, Ep. 7
    In this week’s episode, we’re diving into what it really means to live without regret—not because we always get it “right,” but because we learn how to trust ourselves in the moment. I share how reshaping our relationship with our emotional state can bring more ease, joy, and comfort in the choices we make. When we stop anchoring decisions in past fear or future worry, we start to experience the beauty of the present for what it is. This is about taking what you know now, choosing from that moment, and letting that be enough— even if retrospectively you can say otherwise.
  • 6. Conversations with Friends: Eli Winniger

    01:13:52||Season 3, Ep. 6
    This week, I’m joined by my friend Eli — a public speaker, wellness coach, and entrepreneur who has lived many lives.We kick things off reminiscing: how we met, our shared love of travel, and the unexpected turns that come from following curiosity. That naturally leads us into the heart of this episode — a conversation around structured flow.Together, we explore what it means to mature through experience, how to shift habits from external expectations to internal alignment, and what it actually feels like to create a sense of “home” within ourselves. Eli brings stories from life-and-death moments, backpacking, corporate chapters, and everything in between — all pointing to a deeper understanding of calm, clarity, and growth.If you’re navigating change or craving both freedom and grounding, this conversation will relate.
  • 5. Head vs. Heart: Rethinking Results & Redefining Fulfillment

    44:18||Season 3, Ep. 5
    In this week's episode, I unpack the tug-of-war between the head and the heart—especially when it comes to chasing results. So often, we let our logical mind dictate the path, focusing on metrics, timelines, and “shoulds.” But what happens when we flip that order?I explore what it means to let the heart lead first—tuning into what actually lights you up, nourishes you, and aligns with your deeper truth—before allowing the head to step in and craft the action plan. This shift changes how we define “results” entirely, moving from quick wins or external validation to long-term fulfillment.You’ll learn how this approach doesn’t just feel better—it creates a more sustainable and aligned version of success, where your actions are guided by purpose and your mind becomes the strategist for your heart’s visionFor more follow along at : https://www.instagram.com/amanda_keltz/To sign up for a clarity call spot or learn more about my offerings: https://www.amandakeltz.com/
