Welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. Today is a very special day. It is the airing of my 50th episode!
My podcast has gone through many shifts and changes but I am happy to say that I have finally found the right fit. After starting out doing movie reviews, I focused on my goal of interviewing people. I started interviewing people about their hobbies and passions and creativity. I loved it but something didn’t feel aligned.
After a lot of thinking and hesitation and working through self-doubt, I finally landed on what should have been obvious from the start. I began interviewing experts in the areas of mental health and wellness. As a social worker, I am passionate about helping people with their mental health. It now makes complete sense to interview experts in the wellness fields and my podcast finally feels aligned with what I am passionate about.
I am so excited to bring you more episodes! Now I can’t wait to reach the 100 mark!
On today’s very special 50th episode, I spoke with Amanda Ferrat, an Advanced EFT practitioner, Certified Emotional Wellness Counselor, and the founder of Value Yourself Counseling.
From a young age, Amanda always believed in seeking help. She received help from her school counselor and is open about her anxiety, depression, and attachment disorder diagnosis. Amanda’s goal was to become a school social worker but in the midst of graduate school, Amanda experienced horrific losses.
After going home and back to school a few times, Amanda decided that graduate school wasn’t the right path for her but she knew she wanted to use her gifts to help others. She just needed to take care of herself first.
In July of 2019, Amanda had an experience that propelled her forward to start her own counseling business. She soon discovered EFT- Emotional freedom technique, which was a game-changer for her. In this episode, Amanda explains what EFT is and how she uses it to help her clients.
Amanda now helps women make peace with their past, fall in love with their present, and get excited about their future.
Amanda and I deep dive into what self-care is and what it isn’t as well as the biggest part of self-care.
