In this powerful episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Heavy, host Angie Berrett sits down with Amanda McNeil for an honest, deeply human conversation about trauma, addiction, and the long road to recovery.

Amanda opens up about her personal journey and how childhood trauma shaped her path, how addiction took hold, and what it took to begin healing.

Their conversation touches on the emotional significance of trigger warnings, the comfort and stability pets can bring during recovery, and the strength Amanda found through her faith. She also discusses her work as an author, creating recovery-friendly literature that offers representation and hope to those who need it most.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it is possible. Whether you're navigating your own path or supporting someone else, Amanda’s story will move and inspire you.

Bio*

Amanda McNeil (she/her) writes stories where healing and imagination meet.

She’s a queer woman in long-term recovery from alcoholism who writes recovery-friendly fiction across sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror. Even when her stories explore darkness, they carry a spark of hope. Her work centers themes of resilience, identity, and personal growth, dusted with the magical, fantastical, and speculative. Amanda’s short fiction has appeared in Decoded Pride, Solarpunk Magazine, and The Last Girls Club, and she’s the author of three books: Waiting for Daybreak (a woman finds sobriety while surviving the zombie apocalypse), Bloemetje (a queer-inclusive space fantasy retelling of Thumbelina), and Ecstatic Evil (a grumpy/sunshine paranormal romance). She lives in New England with her spouse and their talkative tortie cat. You can find her work at opinionsofawolf.com/publications.

Bio:

I have always loved to help people. I worked in acute care psychiatry with adults and adolescents, ending my nursing career in the emergency Dept.

My marriage at the time kept me moving and unable to retain my nursing, hence the retirement.

I pursued my other interests whilst in this relationship. Subsequently leading me to have another even more fulfilling way of helping people.

My relationship was the strongest catalyst for my own need to go inward, to discover my own self. This was not an easy journey, but I believe the combination of my own life struggles(and it really has been never ending, to this point that is) gives me a unique ability to help people.

Show Notes:

In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to be Heavy, Angie and Pat Romboletti explore the concept of coercive control, particularly in the workplace, and its parallels with domestic abuse. The discussion highlights the psychological impact of job-related trauma, the importance of recognizing these patterns, and strategies for healing and reclaiming personal power. The speakers emphasize the need for awareness, support, and community in overcoming these challenges, as well as the significance of setting boundaries and building confidence to navigate toxic environments.

Bio

Author, Tedx speaker, Bulletproof Your Career coach, and creator of the 4-Step Bulletproof Your Career Methodology—because today, you can outperform and out-deliver, and still end up out of a job.

After almost two decades as a retained executive recruiter, Pat switched sides and exposed the secrets behind the hiring curtain. She has coached over 900 executives globally and uses her expertly crafted Bulletproof Methodology to give her coaching clients an unfair advantage against a rigged and frustrating hiring system. And her From Onboard to Bulletproof program will make sure they never again say, “I didn’t see it coming.”

Her four-phase system - Clarify, Eliminate, Prioritize, Accelerate, gives her clients a bulletproof mindset, a shortened search, a lifetime of financial security, and control of their career and destiny. Her TEDx talk was a wake-up call for corporate executives, urging them to stop living in complacency and denial and to disrupt themselves before they are disrupted. My advice — “think and act like a gigger.”
