ABOUT
Amanda started her brand while working in the Animal Training field and focused on sharing about her career and love of animals. She wanted to humanize people that work with animals and typically get a bad reputation in the media due to some extremely biased opinions and documentaries. In 2019, she was laid off from her dream job working with killer whales, due to a company wide restructuring – that’s when she started really struggling with her (already spiraling) mental health. Instead of hiding it, she chose to share her journey online and began building a like minded community. She chose to take this moment of hurt and loss with her chin up and chest out – turning this into an opportunity to pivot.
Each day, Amanda shows up for her community she’s built in hopes to inspire meaningful conversations surrounding mental health, breaking societal norms and being an advocate for inclusivity… all while figuring out her own bold and colorful lifestyle along the way. It has been FAR from the “picture perfect” life she thought she had planned… but Amanda has come to own that maybe all her set backs were actually just setUPs to step into her true potential.

Do you find yourself falling into the ever alluring trap of comparison and thinking that just because someone else has achieved something quickly, it means that you're BEHIND?! Don't worry, I'm right there with you.
Listen along to this episode as I unpack the idea of a personal "time zone" and share personal tips on how I clawed my way out of the comparison game. It's a constant battle that I'm fighting daily, but I promise it'll be worth it. You're aren't running late... and everyone isn't early. You are perfectly on time; YOUR TIME.

What do you say to taking chances?
Manda shares about a time where she was convinced that a door in her life was closing, but in reality it was an open door that changed the course of her life. She chats about the importance of being open to all opportunities and why when doors seem closed, they might in fact be open after all.
