In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Rebuild and Rise Show, host Micah Smith sits down with Amanda Hanquist, a financial powerhouse and co-founder of Fit Wealth Advisors, widely known as The Fit Financial. With over 15 years of experience helping women take control of their money and build long-term wealth, Amanda brings real, raw, and relatable insight to the conversation. Together, they unpack why people with the most income often face the biggest financial messes and explore Amanda’s viral “No-Spend Year,” along with the powerful, life-changing lessons it revealed. They dive into the emotional toll of survival mode, the roots of a scarcity mindset, and the money lies many of us were taught to believe. Amanda also shares how she balances motherhood, marriage, entrepreneurship, and financial confidence—all while navigating real-life challenges. The conversation highlights why earning more doesn’t automatically lead to financial freedom, the pivotal role credit plays in both personal and business success, and the small but impactful first steps anyone can take to start rebuilding financial strength—no matter how overwhelmed or stuck they feel. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next move. Whether you're rebuilding from financial chaos or ready to rise into your next level, this is the real talk you didn’t know you needed.
