What if the very thing mental health culture tells you to do—focus on your trauma, honor your feelings, explore your pain—is actually reinforcing the patterns that are keeping you stuck?
In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren and I tackle one of the most controversial (and most important) truths about how the brain works: where you put your attention literally shapes your reality. What you focus on expands. And if you're spending years focusing on your trauma, your pain, your "broken" parts, you're training your brain to keep running those patterns.
We talk about the observer effect from quantum physics, how the ACC (the social-emotional brain) operates at the subconscious level, and why your beliefs have to align with what Scripture says about you—not just intellectually, but at the deepest level where your brain is automating your identity.
This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending the pain isn't real. It's about understanding that constantly rehearsing "I AM anxious, I AM broken, I AM not enough" is literally giving your brain permission to keep being that. And there's a better way.
If you've ever felt like you've been "working on yourself" for years but you're still stuck in the same patterns, this episode will show you why—and what needs to shift.

Kat is feeling pumped and Amy is feeling shooketh because her son made coffee at church with his friends this morning like it was nothing. He's graduating in 2030 and apparently drinks coffee now…cool. Amy shares a study that found that women feel most fulfilled in their relationships when they get 47 minutes of undivided attention from their partner each day. And then Kat goes over some cognitive biases…the halo effect, the sunk cost fallacy, confirmation bias, zero sum bias, and a few others that will make you look at your own thinking a little differently. Some of these you already do without realizing it and once you see them you can't unsee them.

The game is changing, the rules are changing, and this summer is asking you to show up as an embodied spiritual human being. In this Summer Energy Update, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into the profound evolutionary period taking place over June, July, and August. This season isn't about frantically chasing future goals—it's about conscious participation in who you are becoming right now.
Amanda breaks down the unique energetic signature of the months ahead:
We also explore the curious astrology at play, including Chiron moving into Taurus, and how to navigate the noise of a rapidly changing world without abandoning yourself.
Stop waiting for certainty. It's time to trade the "human doing" for the "human being" and step into greater self-leadership.
Who are you becoming? The next 3 months matter. Join Amanda & The Frequency Field if you’re looking for a community to support you in becoming who you are intended to be.
