S5E3: Embracing Change and Style: Amanda Busby Codney on Life After Divorce

"Translating internal growth into an external style and presence can be empowering." – Amanda Busby Codney

Hi friends, it’s Erica! In our latest episode, we are joined by Amanda Busby Codney a lifestylist and editor-in-chief of Circle magazine, to share her inspiring story and wisdom. 

In this episode, we'll explore how Amanda's personal experience of marrying young, grappling with her identity, and ultimately navigating a painful and lonely divorce shaped her mission. Amanda’s passion for helping women find freedom and creativity, particularly following the end of a relationship, shines through in this heartfelt conversation.

Amanda and I discuss the power of style as self-care, the significance of listening to intuition and seeking support, and the various alternative healing methods that can aid in our personal journeys.

Amanda's journey through her own divorce serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there are avenues for healing and rediscovery. 

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

💕 Style as Self-Care: After a divorce, reinventing your wardrobe can be a therapeutic way to reclaim your identity and boost self-confidence. Learn 

💕 Exploring Healing Methods: Beyond traditional talk therapy, we dive into alternative healing practices, including naked retreats and ayahuasca. 😉 Amanda emphasizes the importance of being open to various resources and experiences to navigate past traumas and fears.

💕 Trusting the Journey: Both Amanda and I stress the importance of listening to intuition, seeking support, and trusting the universe to provide healing resources. Whether it’s through pivotal supportive people or transformative books like "Attached" and "Creating Union," the right tools for your journey will find you.

The biggest takeaways from this episode are that everyone's journey is different, there is no right way to heal or no right journey, and that it's okay to explore different resources throughout your journey! Both Amanda and myself explored many different healing options from traditional therapy, enneagram work, reading, friendships, and more. Listen to the whole episode to hear our full experiences and what we felt worked best for us.
