In today’s episode, we're sitting down with Amanda — a rockstar, graduated client who proves that hitting the reset button doesn't mean starting over empty-handed. Amanda’s story is real, raw, and SO relatable for any of us navigating a financial rebuild, especially after a major life change.

She came to coaching newly single, with $0 in her bank account, two kids to support, and the determination to not mess this up. Fast-forward to today: Amanda is not only financially stable, but she’s fully funding her life, bought a house, built savings buckets, is two months ahead in her business, and is teaching her kids real money skills. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

In this episode, we chat about:

  1. What prompted Amanda to seek financial coaching
  2. How she strategically used her divorce settlement to reset her finances
  3. The mindset shifts around debt, spending, and credit cards
  4. How she ditched the stress and embraced budgeting simplicity
  5. Why separating accounts made everything easier (yes, even with more accounts!)
  6. Setting up her kids with money management systems early
  7. Business owner lessons: paying yourself properly and setting monthly income goals

Amanda reminds us that it’s not about being perfect — it’s about being intentional, asking for help, and learning how to be your own bank. Whether you’re starting fresh or just need a reboot, her story is proof that we can take control, live well, and still get our nails done. 💅🏽😉
