In this week’s episode, Amanda discusses the dangers of Motivation 2.0 (a popular educational pedagogy) and why having a goal that is forever just out of reach is detrimental to one’s mental, emotional, and even physical health. She also discusses why it’s so incredibly important to trust the plans and goals that you have for yourself, even when they do go right.

In this week’s episode, Amanda discusses why it’s so important to have a plan when you’re trying to start working for yourself, leave one job in favor of another, start a business, or make any change in one’s professional or personal life. However, she also discusses why it’s equally as important to make sure that your plan has an ending, and that you don’t keep adding conditions to it. There’s no such thing as the “perfect” time to do something, but there’s way to make it almost perfect. She also discusses why it is important to be prepared to start what you want to do (that new job, working for yourself, starting a business), but it’s also important to start faster than you might think and then adjust as you go, and adjust as you grow.

In light of the leaked documents that the United States Supreme Court is potentially overturning Roe v. Wade, Amanda is discussing why access to safe, legal abortions is incredibly important. In the episode she goes in quite a few directions, but this just shows how the decision to legalize or criminalize abortion is not black and white (even though many people want it to be and make it out to be). This is a medical decision (and sometimes lifesaving decision) that should be between a physician and the birthing person.

In this week’s episode, Amanda provides her listeners with three pieces of advice to integrate into their lives before and as they are making changes and choosing to go all-in on specific goals. These are three things that Amanda wishes that she did when she was transitioning from teaching high school to being a full time resume writer and working for herself, and she believes that these things can exponentially improve your longevity and staying power in what you do and aspire to do.

In this week’s episode, Amanda discusses how this phrase changed her perspective regarding the decisions we make and how we process what goes on in our daily lives, big and small. She also gives you feedback on why this phrase is such an important way to live your life and how it can provide you with power and agency during times where it can be lacking (and isn’t that all of the time anymore?)

This is the time of year where teachers are being asked whether or not they plan to renew their contracts for the next school year, and this always comes at a tumultuous time with spring fever, proms, graduations, and standardized tests bombarding both teachers and students. This year, it's even more tumultuous as more and more teachers are leaving the profession, and leaving at record rates. This week, I am re-publishing my very first episode that talks about why and how I left teaching. Even if you are not a teacher, this episode has tangible takeaways and step-by-step information that you can follow if you are looking to make a change professionally and even personally.

In this week’s episode, Amanda discusses why we’ve been conditioned to ignore the fact that as humans, we have a lot of different, diverse interests and these interests will grow, change, and transform, and they will sometimes do this at the same time. She talks about how prior generations were forced to not lean into their multi-faceted desires and interests or any changes that took place within them, and how that’s conditioned us to believe that as well. She works to break this cycle of monotony and includes how this can be pivotal in obtaining your BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal).

In this week's episode, Amanda discusses how society has evolved to a point where picking a "box" (a job, an interest, etc.) and having that forever works; we're not always meant to be doing what at 50 what we chose at 18, and this is a pattern that millennials (including elder millennials) and Gen Z will be breaking (and it won't always be easy).

In this week's episode, Amanda discusses how detrimental it can be to constantly be in positions where we receive so much feedback (whether correct or incorrect) instantaneously and how the cliche boundaries of "just delete this app off of your phone!" or "just don't let it get to you and don't check your email!" are BS. They might've worked in 2010, but they are NOT feasible in 2022.

In this week’s episode, Amanda discusses burnout, everyone’s favorite feeling and how the way we think about and experience burnout now has significantly changed over the past two years (and even two weeks). She discusses how to combat burnout no matter your personality through the 3/7 rule (her take on the 4/7 rule) and how it’s applicable to you no matter your personality or life experiences.

It's so cliche but it's so true; in this week's episode, Amanda talks about how it's so important (and honestly now more than ever) to remember why your goals are your goals, especially after you've achieved them. It's so easy to sink back into our old habits of going through the motions when we made significant changes because we didn't want to do that. Today, you'll hear about how and why Amanda is going through the motions rather than living in balance (to help you reflect if you are too) and how to help get out of this headspace if you're in it.

In this week's episode, Amanda discusses how so often we're the one holding ourselves back from where we want to be because of the preconceived notions we have about ourselves or what we thought things would be like, whether that's a job, a relationship, a routine that we have, or how we think of and speak to ourselves. Amanda is in the throws of trying to figure out how to balance holding and letting go herself, and hopes that by talking about it everyone realizes that they're not alone in feeling this way.

In this week's episode, Amanda gives you some tools and perspective regarding these high and low emotional moments when we're in a place of change in our lives (no matter what that change is). Knowing that this is normal is key to making sure that you make the right decision for you and also that the decision you make isn't rooted just in one emotional moment. You'll have these high high's and low low's no matter what your life path is, so why not make the pivot/that transition you've been thinking about making? It might seem like you'll have less control if you choose to create your own path or do things different than what most people are doing, but you'll actually have more control than you did before.

In this episode, Amanda discusses passive multi-tasking and how you can incorporate it into your day-to-day life. Whether you are trying to make your side hustle your main hustle, work multiple jobs while keeping your sanity, or like where you're at and you're trying to find a little more time for you each day, Amanda shares her experience utilizing passive multi-tasking when she was a high school teacher and how you can too no matter what your goals are or what you do day to day because time really is the most valuable resource that we have, and having a little more of it isn't a bad thing.

In this episode, Amanda discusses how generational expectations and trauma can affect our abilities to determine what we truly want, so often we do things because it appears the way that it "should" on the outside even if there is inner turmoil. She discusses how prior generations perpetuated this narrative of appearances being more important than realty, how technology is actually helping this, and what you can do to ensure that you're not doing certain things and living life in a certain way because it's what others want or expect of you.
