"Beneath The Page" | Episode 132 - Amanda W
Description
"...peeling back the layers, confronting old wounds..."
If AANP speaks to you, follow the show and never miss an episode.
Amanda shares a powerful and deeply personal story of recovery, reflecting on a childhood shaped by a parent's gambling addiction, the loss of her mother, abusive relationships, and years spent searching for acceptance in all the wrong places.
She speaks candidly about how alcohol became a way to cope with unresolved trauma, why getting sober was only the beginning of her healing, and how writing and creativity have become essential parts of rebuilding her life.
Rather than a story about hitting one dramatic rock bottom, Amanda's journey is about peeling back the layers, confronting old wounds, and discovering what it means to finally show up for herself.
