In this episode, Pete speaks to Amanda Webster, a certified mind, body and wellness coach who specialises in nutrition. Amanda is a suicide and rape survivor, both of which, are key reasons she advocates for mental health, support and are her main drive for everything she does.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
A mind, body and wellness coaches purpose is to bridge the gap between the mental and physical health. You can’t truly be ‘healthy’ unless you work on both of these, they are interlinked and affect one another.
Amanda had been suffering with depression and had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when she was wrongly accused of in a legal case, this lead to her almost committing suicide. But she heard a sign and realised she could no longer jump.
Amanda accessed therapy and it got to the point where she was willing to do anything at all just to feel and be happy but her therapist told her she couldn’t. This made her take her late Dad’s mindset of ‘prove them wrong’ and she had to do so not only for herself but for everyone else like her too.
We live in an extremely fast paced and difficult society, almost everyone has to deal and cope with some level of anxiety. Whilst Amanda had been diagnosed with a severe mental illness she believed that it wasn’t actually true. She didn’t believe that her illness, if she had one, affected her life severely, so she so she spent a year fighting to get revaluated.
People try to project their own story, experiences and education on others. This is not helpful as they are pushing their own agenda, whether consciously or subconsciously and this might not be the most helpful or useful advice/help the other person, we need to listen.
Amanda always felt misunderstood by the therapists she saw and almost all the mental health professionals she met, they never listened to her and this is something she feels is echoed in everyday life with most people.
Being a rape survivor is something that is so incredibly difficult and not easy for others to understand. One of the hardest lessons Amanda had to learn was forgiveness, she understood that she had to forgive her rapist in order to move on with her life. She will never forget but she had to forgive and not allow the rape to still have power over her.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“I was so sure standing on that ledge this is what I have to do”

“I am tired of being complacent, I just want to be happy”

“If I don’t prove her wrong, I’m gonna die”

“Don’t give your power to all these other people”
