Balancing motherhood with personal and professional ambitions is no small feat, and Amanda Strojny knows this journey all too well. In this episode, she opens up about her own experiences, sharing the emotional rollercoaster of finding self-worth amidst societal pressures and the intense bonds with her child. Amanda's heartfelt conversation invites you to embrace all feelings authentically, rather than bypassing them with spiritual platitudes, and to understand that true surrender is a deeply personal and often uncomfortable process.
This episode also delves into the evolving nature of integrity and boundaries, especially when faced with the new challenges of parenting. Amanda emphasizes the importance of self-validation and patience, recognizing that one's previous capacities may not fit current circumstances. Through humility and the beginner’s mind, we explore the delicate balance between completion and fluidity, underscoring the need to take breaks without guilt and adapt to life's changing demands.
Finally, Amanda shares her transformative journey of leading with her heart rather than her analytical mind. From meeting her life partner to moving to Hawaii and becoming a mother, she highlights the significance of sensitivity and emotional awareness in living an authentic life. We discuss empowering conversations and resources, including Amanda’s podcast "Untapped Power," and her commitment to providing free financial resources. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to making conscious choices that align with one's current life stage and the ongoing practice of personal growth.
