34 Parenting From the Inside Out with Grace Williams

💫 New Ep Drop: “Parenting From the Inside Out with Grace Williams” 💫

On this heart-to-heart edition of Big Shift Energy, Amanda links up with the wise and wonderful Grace Williams to talk all things parenting, big emotions, and making those major inner shifts 🌀✨

From messy teen moods to inner child healing, this one’s got layers.

Plus, things get tender (and a little playful) during a round of Worksmith Roulette—a reflective game that brings up big questions about grief, healing, and how we find meaning in tough moments. They also challenge the “everything happens for a reason” trope, share personal wins, and remind us that growth doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be yours.

🦋 This one’s for the cycle-breakers, soft-hearted parents, and anyone choosing to grow, even when it’s hard. You are not alone—and you’re doing better than you think.

Press play for grounded insight, big feels, and that signature BSE realness. 💖
