Amanda Kate: "Divine. Messy. Human."
03/03/23 • 69 min
In this very special episode, I'm honored to interview the extraordinary human being known as Amanda Kate. She's the author of the wonderful book Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence. She’s also a kinesiologist, mentor, archetypal life coach, mother and much more.
Highlights of this fascinating 64-minute interview with Amanda include:
- How insights gained from her agonizing decision to end a toxic marriage – and realizing how much abuse she had suffered – changed her self-perception from “fundamentally flawed” to “fundamentally human.”
- How kinesiology succeeded when western medicine failed to cure serious physical and mental challenges – inspiring her to help others heal by becoming a kinesiologist herself!
- Moving past religious intermediaries to experience the God within you.
- The positive role of anger to expose boundary violations – especially for women.
- Why it's so important to complete and release our stress responses.
- Using emotional fluency to identify and befriend all your emotions.
- When to shift a challenging emotion, and when to sit with it.
- How the truth has 144 sides.
- “Wholing” vs healing.
- How your troublesome wounded parts are actually trying to help you.
- Amanda's favorite technique to regain your calm center. (It's so simple!)
- The critical importance of being “of service to,” rather than “in service to.”
- Why serving and loving ourselves empowers us to optimally serve and love others.
- Understanding self-love as a skill that can be strengthened - and how it can be gritty, hard, and firm in setting and enforcing boundaries.
- Why your “comfort zone” is better understood as your “known zone.”
- How to stay alert to the many ways your internal guidance can nudge you onto the best path, and
- How shadow work can help you embody the light that you really are.
This conversation is loaded with life-transforming insights. Enjoy!

Can Free Will and Divine Will Be the Same?
Matt Kahn's quizzical response to my question pointed the way. But it's taken me years of ever-deepening awakening to understand how free will and divine will can ultimately become the same. Or, to put it another way, how ego-based free will can gradually fade away ... and never be missed!

Autopilot Shamanism
The way I do shamanic healing now is radically different than when I started over 10 years ago. When I started, I obsessed over the details of specific techniques and procedures. Now I just show up, call in the sacred container, and let the process run itself!
In this 11-minute episode, I describe how I transitioned from ego-directed to divinely directed in my shamanic work, and in other parts of my life. And you’ll learn how you can do it too!
