Hi! My name is Amanda, I'm a life coach for moms, and also a single mom to 4 amazing girls (Yes, I said 4. Yes, I said all girls. Yes, it’s a lot. Yes, there’s ALL of the emotions in our house). Before I rejoined the workforce in 2020, I was a stay at home mom for almost a decade. And like most moms, I found myself stuck in a never ending cycle of burn out and overwhelm.
I remember when I was deep in the trenches of motherhood, my sister was talking about how sunflowers were her favorite flower. "What's your favorite flower, sis? I don't think you've ever told me." I stared blankly at her, because I realized I didn't know what my favorite flower was. I felt like a pot that had been left on the back burner for so long that the contents were blackened & indistinguishable. Like anyone who looked inside wouldn't be able to tell what it was supposed to be. I didn't even know who I was. From that moment on, I set out on a journey to rediscover myself. It took me 5 years, but I now know exactly who I am. I am a mom, yes. But I am also a whole ass person outside of my kids. I have a confidence & joy that I had never experienced before, and can say with all sincerity that I love myself, body & soul. And I know what my favorite flower is--peony.
I now have a passion to teach every mom the tools I’ve cultivated so that they too can liberate themselves off of the back burner & start living again. This podcast is for every mom: single moms, married moms, young moms, old moms, new moms, surprise moms. Moms who nurse, moms who have teenagers, moms who are empty nesters. I refuse to niche down to a specific mom group, because life changes. I can think of over a dozen mom "categories" I've already lived through. I'm not interested in what kind of mommy-ing you do--I'm interested in you as a woman. Because while we're all busy trying to figure out which group we best fit into, we are missing out on the sisterhood of our greatest shared experience: simply being moms. We have all given our bodies & our lives to raising tiny humans. We have all lost ourselves in our role. When we share such intimate experiences as that, the rest seems so trivial.
