In this deeply reflective episode, Kate and Amanda celebrate one year of The Awakening Conversations Podcast by revisiting their journey of growth, vulnerability, and soul-aligned expression. What began as an intuitive nudge between two women who had never met in person has evolved into a powerful container for truth-telling, healing, and deep transformation.
They speak openly about the inner challenges of self-censorship, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome, and how committing to this shared project has helped them activate their authentic voices and step into greater self-trust. From tech mishaps and editing woes to spiritual revelations and heart-opening conversations, this episode is an invitation to reflect on what’s possible when you say yes to something that calls you—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Whether you’re on your own creative journey or feeling the nudge to follow an inner pull, this conversation will leave you inspired to take the leap, embrace imperfection, and trust the unfolding path.
