To the Woman I Was 10 Years Ago:

I know what you’re feeling. That constant pull between wanting to make a real contribution and feeling like you’re losing yourself in the process.

You thought motherhood would be the most fulfilling thing—and it is, in so many ways—but no one warned you how much of yourself it would demand.

I know you feel like you’ve lost some of the woman you were before kids. The one who had dreams, ambitions, a career. You thought you’d be different, that maybe motherhood wouldn’t change everything.

But it did, and now you’re here, caught between the woman you used to be and the mom you’re becoming. And frankly? That’s hard to reconcile.

I felt that too. The guilt. The doubt. The endless questions about whether you’re making the right choice by staying home—or if you’re just throwing away everything you worked for.

The old version of you is still hanging around, poking at you with reminders of the career you left behind. And it’s okay to feel lost, to grieve for who you were. It’s okay to mourn the old version of yourself, even if it feels a little uncomfortable.

But here’s what I found through this whole messy, beautiful journey: it’s not about going back to who you were.

It’s about becoming something better, stronger, more capable.

The woman you’re becoming is someone who’s learned to balance dreams with diapers, ambitions with playdates. And this version of you? She’s got skills that are worth more than any degree.

I wish I’d known that 10 years ago. That my value wasn’t tied to my past career or my old life. That the skills I was building—patience, resilience, problem-solving, leadership—were actually preparing me for something bigger. Something that honors who I am now, not who I used to be.

So, here’s my note to you: Don’t get stuck in the fog of who you were, trying to make sense of who you are now. The system I created isn’t about selling products; it’s about giving you the tools to build something you can own.

It’s about taking the raw materials of your motherhood journey and crafting a future that works for you—not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It’s about taking the power of who you’ve become and channeling it into a purpose that matters.

You’ve already done the hardest thing—becoming a mom. Now, let’s take that strength, that hustle, and turn it into something that serves you too.

Faithfully,
Amanda

If I’m not barefoot at home, I’m barefoot at the office 🤣🤣

Just fielding calls, blending the new with the old, turning objections into opportunities and making meaningful connections with people who are consciously building a legacy 💥

I don’t bite - promise! 🙃☎️🙏🌻🙌🏻

Hey, listen.

When I jumped back on to social media in the mayhem of 2020 I did it with strict intention: to find people that I’m on the same with.

I’m always looking to connect with people I am on the same page with - and I’m also always looking to learn from those who I am not.

I’m not here to tell you how to do things, well that is not unless you ask me to. Because if you ask me to, then I will. In fact I’m pretty good at it.

The truth is though motherhood wears you down down down..or is that just my kids? It’s like they have to take you all the way down to the ground so you can….what?

Give them what they want?
Give in to chocolate cake for breakfast?
Give them their tablets for an undefined period of time?
What? I mean really?
Why are children THE BEST negotiators ever??

Here’s what I think.

The Lord made them that way.

You know why?

To break you so you’d finally learn how to be less like your crappy self.

So you can be more like Him.

Don’t you see your kids are bringing you to the end of yourself so you can stop being yourself??

We’re all a bit damaged, don’t you think?

Less like me, more like Him.

Now please don’t misunderstand me - I’m not saying we should just stop being who we are.

Quite on the contrary.

We all need to be more like He intended us to be.

How do we do that though?

Well it might start with a bit of reinvention, don’t you think?

Reinventing the old is not about discarding what came before; it's about honoring the foundation while breathing new life into it.

When we maintain the integrity of the old, we're preserving its core values, the wisdom it was built on, and the lessons that shaped it.

This approach allows us to innovate without losing sight of what made the original valuable.

It’s like restoring a classic car—not just to make it run, but to make it run better, with modern enhancements that respect its heritage.

Reinventing the old with integrity means we’re not just chasing the new for the sake of it; we’re building on a solid, time-tested foundation that can carry us forward with strength and purpose.

Maintaining my integrity means staying true to my core values and principles in everything I do, both personally and professionally.

Whether I’m making decisions, building relationships, or growing my business, I ensure that my actions align with my beliefs. This means being honest, transparent, and consistent, even when it’s challenging.

I focus on doing what’s right, not just what’s easy or profitable, and I strive to create value for others while holding myself accountable to the standards that matter most to me.

My integrity is the foundation that guides every choice I make, ensuring that I stay authentic and trustworthy in all my endeavors.

Aligning my integrity with the Lord means grounding my actions and decisions in faith and biblical principles.

I strive to live in a way that honors God, reflecting His teachings in my daily life. This includes being honest, compassionate, and humble, treating others with love and respect, and seeking His guidance in all that I do.

By staying true to His Word, I ensure that my integrity isn’t just a personal standard but a reflection of my commitment to living a life that glorifies Him.

This alignment gives me the strength to make decisions with courage and clarity, knowing that I’m walking in the path He’s laid out for me.

And guess what, I’m always looking for those who really aim high and want to make those uncomfortable and wildly rewarding reinventions to join me.

(That's my grandfather's watch, btw - it faithfully keeps time; it's my reminder of the enduring legacy of integrity, shaped by tradition and my commitment to living with purpose and honoring the Lord in all that I do.)
