In this episode of Worn but Wild, we dive into the quiet power of support—both the presence of it and the ache when it’s missing. Amanda opens up about what it feels like to be alone in the fight and the surprising ways support can show up when you least expect it. From church park meetups to real talk with moms who say, “Me too,” this episode is a reminder that even in our loneliest moments, we’re not the only ones feeling this way.

We also highlight To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA)—an organization dedicated to offering hope and help to anyone struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, or suicidal thoughts. You are not alone.

Scripture for this episode: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…” —Psalm 23:4

Let’s talk about community, healing, and the deep relief of being seen.

Episode 4 – "The Chicken Lived, Y’all"

Sometimes life smacks you in the face like a rogue tennis ball—and sometimes that tennis ball hits a chicken.

In this lighter episode of Worn but Wild, we’re taking a break from the heavy and diving into the chaos, comedy, and unexpected joy of parenting, pets, and post-chemo absurdity. From chickens with head injuries (don’t worry, he lived) to kids hiding in fridges and allergic reactions that turned into laugh attacks—I’m sharing the wild, messy moments that remind us why humor is sacred.

Plus, a shoutout to Joey Swoll, whose gym positivity is the kind of kindness we all need more of, and a reminder from Isaiah 40:29 that even when we’re weary, we’re never powerless.

Because sometimes you zig-zag sideways with your wings out, pretend nothing happened, and keep going.

Stay wild. 🩷

Medical gaslighting is real — and too many of us have lived it. In this episode, I open up about what it’s like to know something is wrong and still not be taken seriously — including the terrifying moments during my own cancer diagnosis and reconstruction complications.

I also share a deeply personal story about advocating for my daughter when no one else would listen… and how a simple song helped carry me through a season of fear and frustration.

This one’s raw, it’s real, and if you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard — this one’s for you.

Stay Wild.
