The Grit To Call It: "It Had To Be Me" with Amanda Soukoulis
In this powerful episode, Erika sits down with Amanda Soukoulis—a former CPA turned wellness coach—who shares her inspiring journey of resilience, health struggles, and transformation. Amanda opens up about her experience as a finalist for multiple professional cheerleading teams, her health battles with a severe bacterial infection and black mold exposure, and how these challenges propelled her into the world of functional medicine.
She highlights the importance of listening to your body, being your own advocate, and the mindset shift from “Why me?” to “It had to be me.” Amanda also provides valuable wellness insights, including:
✅ The power of functional medicine and proper hormone testing
✅ Why small, consistent habits matter more than quick fixes
✅ How to embrace seasons of struggle (the ‘winter’ phase) as necessary for growth
✅ Tips for balancing hormones, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause
Amanda’s passion for health, mindset, and helping others shine through in this episode. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or out of balance—this conversation is for you!
