Amanda R. Bryant, MA
Modern Day Medicine Woman. Contradiction Queen. Initiator of Sovereign Rebellion.
🔥 My Story
I didn’t arrive here in a straight line. My life has been a spiral of initiation, contradiction, and rebellion.
I first experienced Spirit inside evangelical Christianity, unknowingly practicing shamanism through my spiritual gifts as a teen and young adult. I didn’t yet have the language for what I was doing, but the rituals, visions, and intuitive connection were already present. At the same time, I learned to hide my psychic gifts - the knowing, the sensing - because I saw they weren’t welcome in my family and some weren’t even welcome in the church.
Years later, I walked out of the church and into tantra, shamanism, and embodiment practices - learning that pleasure and play were not luxuries - or sin - they were medicine.
Motherhood cracked me open. Illness broke me down. Trauma resurfaced to demand I stop ignoring and start listening. And Spirit? Spirit refused to let me play small.
I’ve had my rebellions: leaving a secure government job to honor my body, owning the label of chronic illness without collapsing into it, standing face-to-face with death in a hospital room and choosing to return only if I promised to live differently.
And so I did. I left relationships, jobs, and identities that weren’t mine. I surrendered into the void over, and over, and over again, letting darkness and silence teach me what pleasure, devotion, and sovereignty really meant.
Each time I emerged, I carried new frequencies of my medicine name: Contradiction Queen. Because I saw the paradox as holy - and discovered new levels of embodying it.
⚡️ My Medicine & My Design
I’m not here to fit into a box. I’m here to radiate contagion - to remind you that nothing is wrong with you, and that your contradictions are your power.
• Manifesting Generator (3/5 Profile): I experiment, fail forward, and alchemize lived experience into practical, contagious wisdom. My life is my laboratory - and you benefit from my experiments.
• Cross of Contagion: I carry the archetype of influence. My energy transmits. My words and presence ripple into others, activating change without force.
• Innocence Motivation: I’m not here to prove. I’m here to show what’s possible when we live an aligned life. That purity of essence is what draws others in.
• At my core, I carry the frequency of Revolution (Moon in 49.5): my emotional clarity has always guided me to say no to what no longer serves, and yes to building new ways of living, loving, and healing. This is the pulse behind my rebellion medicine.
• Gene Keys:
Gate 8.3 (Life’s Work/Brand): Contribution through authentic style - beauty and truth is expressed through everything I create.
Gate 29.5 (Purpose): Saying yes to life fully, even when it’s messy.
Gate 31.2 (Pearl): Leadership through authenticity and voice.
Gate 30.5 (Radiance): Fire and desire as fuel for transformation.
Gate 49.4 (Vocation): Radical revolution of relationships, cutting through what no longer serves.
Gate 44.2 (Attraction): Magnetic aura of community and chemistry - I magnetize those who feel a deep familiarity with my medicine and crave a community where rebellion and sovereignty are celebrated.
This is why people feel me differently. It’s not just my story, or my training. It’s the archetypes I embody and the frequencies I transmit.

👑 Contradiction Queen: My Medicine Today
I don’t teach cookie-cutter protocols. I guide from the wild terrain of real-life initiation, with tools that honor your body, your sovereignty, and your sacred contradictions.
I am all of my contradictions:
- A healthy woman with chronic conditions.
- A wild-hearted lover and a devoted mother.
- An intuitive mystic and grounded intellectual.
- A rebel and a devotee
This is my essence, and this is the medicine I offer.
I lead rebels who are ready to stop bowing to outdated systems reclaim their sovereignty and live with vitality, freedom, devotion, and joy.
If you are done being told what’s wrong with you, and ready to remember your body is wise, sovereign, and whole… welcome.
