#45 Ten Years of Therapy and Still Not Happy? with Personal Growth Coach Amanda Kirkland

Be The Wolf

For most people, things get really bad before they’ll seek help.

They’ll try everything they know to make things better. And when all of that fails, they’ll beat themselves up thinking there’s something wrong with them.

And eventually, they decide they can’t take that feeling anymore - the feeling that something’s wrong with them. So they break down and start therapy.

It always begins with the hope that “If I just fix what’s wrong with me, it’ll solve my problems.” But it doesn’t.

Yes, 5-10 and even 20 years later you have a better understanding of why you do the things you do. But the patterns are still there.

Relationships are still failing. And you’re STILL struggling to get ahead in your career.

This is because therapy is not designed to solve these problems. It’s about understanding the self.

And for most people, discovering the pattern and understanding why you have the pattern is not enough to change the pattern.

Especially if your pattern is being surrounded by toxic people and work situations.

As a Career Empowerment Coach, I love helping people permanently change the patterns of toxic people and workplaces and so does Amanda Kirkland. Join us for a conversation about how she rose above toxic relationships and in the process discovered the perfect career for her.

Amanda bio:

A self-professed practitioner of self-care!

A B.A.B.E - Balanced, Authentic, Babe Extraordinaire.

Narcissists and toxic relationships used to surround me like a magnetic field.

​I estranged myself from my parents and one sister almost 10 years ago.

Today my life is like 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins ice cream.

The younger version of me was obsessed with reading books and watching movies about the guilty – I wanted to be a Criminal Prosecutor/Crown Attorney (depending on what country you are living in).

Turns out, I didn’t have the grades or the stomach for it ... so I got into Real Estate Development… for a while.

Now, I’m a Personal Growth Coach, yoga-junkie, shopping-fiend to rival Julia Roberts, obsessive dog lover, and a secret Demo/Reno expert.

I came to the conclusion that my lived experience, both personal and professional, could help other women (and a few men) struggling with dysfunctional relationships.

If you've never tried Coaching before... it changes everything. In a matter of months. In my own journey, I experienced more personal, physical, and mental shifts than in over twenty years of traditional talk therapy. I now help others learn to live (and love) their lives without "the problem" they’ve been experiencing for years (because that luggage is far too heavy!).

If you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders - let me help lighten the load – let me help unpack some of that baggage (or those problems) and lighten your load.

I bet right now you’re wondering great, but what qualifies this chick (gal, lady, woman, person) to be a coach and help me unpack?

I have a Bachelor of Art in Social Sciences from the University of Western Ontario ’89.

I am a Certified Avalon Empowerment Trauma Aware Transformational Coach and Master Practitioner in Evolved NLP, Quantum Time Release, Quantum Change Process and Hypnotherapy. I have completed a course in Social Impact Awareness.
