What's God Got To Do With It?: How to Rewire Your Brain in Minutes, Not Years [With Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren] Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

What if you didn't have to manage your anxiety, your trauma, your patterns for the rest of your life? What if you could actually repair the root problem—and move on?

In this final episode of our series, Dr. Lee Warren and I talk about the solution. The shift from "holding pressure on the wound forever" to actually stitching it up and letting it heal. The shift from symptom management to root repair. The shift from spending years in therapy just managing to actually becoming the surgeon of your own mind.

Dr. Warren explains the consent-to-automate sequence—the missing piece that most mental health approaches don't teach. It's the moment your brain asks for permission to automate a thought, feeling, or reaction. And once you learn to spot that moment, you can withhold consent and install a better automation instead. The brain rewires in seconds to minutes—not years.

But here's the key: it's not just about changing your thoughts. It's about rewiring your self-image—the subconscious beliefs that are running the show. Because if your self-image undermines what Scripture says about you, you'll keep defaulting to the old patterns no matter how hard you try.

We tie it all back to Ephesians 4, where Paul talks about being "renewed in the spirit of your mind." He wasn't saying "manage your old self forever." He was saying "put on the new self"—an actual identity-level transformation. And that's exactly what Self-Brain Surgery makes possible.

This episode is the hopeful one. The practical one. The one that shows you how to stop managing and start repairing. If you're ready to move on with your life, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

What's God Got To Do With It? Why Focusing on Your Problems Makes Them Worse [With Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren] Jun 20, 2026

Show notes

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.

Soul Sessions: Why the Next 3 Months Matter So Much (Summer Energy Update) Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

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:

June: Revelation — A time for internal honesty, deep awareness, and trusting your truth.
July: Strength — Finding energetic resilience and staying anchored as things accelerate.
August: The Reckoning — Closing old doors while simultaneously stepping into a brand-new chapter.

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.

Is Your Brain Gaslighting You? Plus Why Women Need 47 Minutes of THIS Each Day Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

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.

What's God Got To Do With It? Why Mental Health Is Getting Worse (Even Though We're Trying Harder) Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

We have more mental health resources, more awareness, more support than ever before. So why are anxiety, depression, and suicide rates at all-time highs?

In this first episode of our brand-new Spiritual Brain Surgery series, Dr. Lee Warren and I dive into the paradox that's plaguing our culture: more help, worse outcomes. We unpack the stats, explore what's missing from the current mental health model, and ask the hard question: what if the foundation itself is incomplete?

Dr. Warren explains why most mental health approaches are built on theory, not on how the brain actually works. We talk about the difference between managing symptoms forever and actually repairing the root problem. And we dig into why knowing the "why" behind your patterns isn't enough if your subconscious self-image is still running the old story.

Here's the truth: if your beliefs and self-image undermine what Scripture says about you, it doesn't matter how much therapy you've done or how much you intellectually "know." Your brain will keep automating the old patterns until you learn how to interrupt them at the root.

This episode is the foundation for everything we're going to unpack in this series. If you've ever felt stuck—like you're doing all the "right things" but nothing's actually changing—this conversation will show you why, and what's missing.

Write Your Story: You Have Permission to Get It Wrong Jun 13, 2026

Show notes

I don’t know about you but I have a hard time being wrong.

I like to have all my ducks in a row, all my affairs in order, all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted so that nobody can ever come after me for not being intelligent or prepared.

But I’m learning this obsession with being right is getting in the way.

Of my creativity.

Of my love.

Of my ability to grow.

So this week’s episode is exploring the permission to get it wrong.

To mess it up, fail, falter and fall apart.

Until you have permission to get it wrong, you don’t have permission to do much of anything worth doing. So let’s get started.
