There are few things more frustrating than being told you are “normal” or “fine” when you feel anything but that. Our very own, Amanda Schuh went through years, many many of them being told she was fine and normal when she knew something was wrong. As a young adult, when she should have been in her prime, she felt as though her body was defeating her. Unable to function and having to drop out of college, Amanda went on her own healing journey. In this conversation, you will hear from Amanda herself, her frustration with the ”system” and how she finally was able to get some answers.
Take a listen to this compelling story about perseverance and determination. Amanda knew she had the capacity to heal, she just needed the support, guidance, and the right tools to do so.
