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.  FASTer Way is officially going back to its roots — and rewriting the future all at the same time.

Just open the app, press play, and win the day. Perfectly timed: Short enough to stay laser-focused, long enough to create real transformation — and easy to commit to during a busy season. Accessible price point: At just $99, it's never been easier to start (or restart) your FASTer Way journey. Built to stick: This reset is designed to set you up for VIP success — most clients feel so good by the end they can't imagine stopping.

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.  Amanda shares why she's literally allergic to Florida (hello, mold remediation and mold-sniffing dogs) and how that's sparked a full-on detox mission—including a trip to Costa Rica and a deep dive into mold + parasite protocols. 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.  If you've been overwhelmed by conflicting wellness advice, feeling "off" for no reason, or just wondering where to start when your body feels out of sync—this one's for you.
