What if the path to healing isn't a solitary journey, but one best traveled in community? In this transformative conversation, Amanda sits down with community building expert Anamaria Dorgo to explore how authentic community becomes a powerful vessel for personal transformation and healing. Anamaria, founder of the renowned L&D Shakers community, shares her revolutionary approach to creating spaces where people don't just connect—they discover missing pieces of themselves they didn't even know were lost.

Through her journey from feeling isolated as the only learning professional in her company to building a global community of thousands, Anamaria reveals the secrets of what makes community truly healing: distributed leadership, intentional experimentation, and the courage to let go of control. She introduces a beautiful definition of healing as "finding and incorporating missing pieces in yourself"—some you know are missing, others you discover along the way.

The most revolutionary insight? Community becomes your confidence laboratory—a safe sandbox where you can test out who you're becoming before stepping into that identity in the "real world." As Anamaria reveals, "I use community a lot to build confidence and power by doing things here in the safe space and sandbox so that I can see myself doing it, so that I can believe that I can do it."

Whether you're a healer looking to understand the power of collective transformation, an entrepreneur wanting to build meaningful community, or someone seeking deeper belonging, this episode offers profound insights into how we heal—and help others heal—together.

This isn't just about building online groups; it's about creating spaces where people can experiment with who they're becoming, find their tribe, and step into their power with confidence that ripples into every area of their lives. What missing pieces of yourself are you unknowingly searching for, and what would change if you stopped trying to find them alone?

Have you ever found yourself clinging to a relationship, job, or situation long after you knew—deep in your bones—that it was time to let go? In this powerful mini-episode, Amanda Parker reveals why our fear of endings often keeps us trapped in completed chapters, prolonging our suffering instead of creating space for new beginnings.

"As long as you're staying in a situation or position or something that doesn't fit anymore, you cannot evolve and grow into the person that you're becoming. You will be stuck because everything around you is stuck in that same place." This transformative insight sits at the heart of Amanda's message—that completion isn't failure, but an essential act of self-love that creates freedom. Through her own story of staying years too long in her wildlife conservation "dream job" until the universe finally intervened, Amanda demonstrates how resistance to necessary endings can keep us from discovering our true path.

What if every door you closed with gratitude and intention actually opened the way to possibilities you couldn't imagine while clinging to the familiar? Amanda shares the profound shifts that happened in her own life when she finally embraced completion—a journey that ultimately led her to coaching, healing work, and creating this very podcast. Her practical wisdom offers a refreshing perspective for anyone feeling stuck between knowing something is complete and finding the courage to move forward.

What chapter in your life might be ready for completion right now? As you listen, you'll gain powerful tools for identifying what's ready to be released, befriending the fear that keeps you holding on, and creating the spaciousness needed for your next beginning. Don't miss Amanda's illuminating framework for turning endings from something we dread into opportunities we embrace. Your future self will thank you for the courage to complete what's been completed.
