This week's Coach Confessional is part personal health update, part huge FASTer Way announcement — and 100% worth a listen. Amanda kicks things off with a very real update about finishing her parasite detox, her first-ever colonic (yep, she goes there), and why she walked away feeling euphoric, energized, and finally sleeping through the night. Haven reacts in classic Haven fashion — part skeptical, part intrigued, and totally ready to rally the team for a "colonic party." But the big news? 🚨 We're making FASTer Way history. Starting October 13, we're officially launching the brand-new 21-Day Reset — a program designed to help you see changes faster without overwhelm or information overload.

Coach Confessional is back, and whew—this one's a ride. CEO Amanda Tress and Pro Trainer Le Bergin are catching up on everything from Florida mold to parasite cleanses, a student-led health revolution, and yes... Serena Williams and GLP-1 influencer culture.

You'll hear what's working and what it takes to heal when your environment is working against you. But that's not all. The conversation turns real as Amanda and Le break down the new wave of celebrities pushing weight loss drugs—what it means for women, what they aren't saying, and why the FASTer Way remains rooted in strength, wellness, and actual science (not sponsored ads). Oh—and you'll get a dose of eighth-grade girl power with Amanda's daughter leading a student wellness petition that's giving corporate wellness a run for its money.

There's nothing quite like the electric buzz of a FASTer Way event. The hugs. The breakthroughs. The "I'm not alone in this" moments. In this episode, Amanda spills why our live gatherings are pure magic for connection, accountability, and transformation — and drops a hint that even more in-person experiences are coming your way. But first… a revelation! Amanda recently discovered she's allergic to Florida. Yes, really. That revelation sent her down an unexpected rabbit hole into the world of mold toxicity. Those nagging symptoms — depression, brain fog, stubborn fatigue, and that strange "wired but exhausted" feeling — might not just be "life"... they could be mold talking. When Amanda spends time at her home in Costa Rica, the difference is instant. "It is like a veil lifted," she says, and she can see just how much her environment has been impacting her health. Now, she's on a targeted healing protocol: a low histamine diet, strategic supplements, and regular bloodwork with Dr. Stephen Cabral. (Hot tip: reheating leftovers can trigger a histamine spike — who knew?) She's even considering tearing down her home and rebuilding it from scratch with specialists to ensure it's truly mold-free. And because stress can be just as sneaky as mold…let's talk cortisol belly. If you've got stubborn midsection fat, energy crashes, or you're up all night and dragging all day, you might be living in cortisol overdrive. That's where our 5-Day Cortisol Reset comes in. Starting August 18, for just $20, you'll get smart workouts, a delicious meal guide, and a never-before-seen macro + fitness cycle to rebalance your stress hormones. This is our biggest mini-program EVER — and it's exactly what you need to flatten cortisol belly, boost energy, and finally feel calm, clear, and in control. Join the 5-Day Cortisol Reset → Sign Up Here (Starts Aug 18) Oh, and one more thing — be on the lookout for an upcoming deep-dive podcast episode all about mold toxicity and histamine intolerance.
