Transcribe →EP 69- The Boxes We Grow Out Of & Rebuild
Feb 1300:44:05Tap to summarizeIn this Episode Amanda dives into the idea of how how we spend so muchof our adult life trying to escape the boxes we feel were build for us as kids and defining who we are in terms of our emotions, reactions, and overall experience. Yet, somehow and sometimes as parents we turn right back around and start to build those boxes for our own tiny humans calling it the terrible two's, a threenager, and labeling the experiences they have as just being a preteen or teen instead of diving into the idea of what their experience actually looks like. So join Amanda with your fav bevie as we challenge ourselves to look beyond the label. #toddlers #terribletwos #teenagers #emotions #preteens #parenting #labeling
Transcribe →EP 68. Pursuing Progress and Presence Instead of Chasing Perfection
Feb 600:37:22Tap to summarizeIn this heartfelt episode of After Hours with Amanda, we’re ditching the pressure to be the “perfect” mom and embracing progress and presence over perfection—especially when it comes to parenting tweens and teens. Inspired by two raw, real TikTok videos I shared today about the messy, beautiful realities of raising bigger kids, I open up about the shift from chasing flawless moments to showing up fully in the everyday chaos. Whether it’s just trying to connect when life feels nonstop, or finding ways to be truly present amid the whirlwind of family, work, and everything in between, this episode is a cozy reminder that your presence matters way more than getting it all “right.” Grab your favorite bevie (iced coffee for me!), settle in, and let’s talk about letting go of perfection so we can actually enjoy the journey with our growing tiny queens. You’re not alone in this—progress looks different for every family, and that’s more than okay.#ProgressOverPerfection#PresenceOverPerfection#ParentingTweens#ParentingTeens#MomOfTeens#TweenMomLife#RealMomTalk#AfterHoursWithAmanda#MomPodcast#ParentingPodcast#PersonalGrowthMom#WorkingMomLife
Transcribe →67. The Hidden Power of Self Trust: Overcoming Self- Doubt to Reinstate Your Crown
Jan 3000:42:03Tap to summarizeMost of us unknowingly are knocking our own crowns off- because the biggest obstacle to achieving your dreams isn't always outside forces but more about the way you talk to yourself. In this episode we will uncover why self sabotage, perfectionism, and fear of failure are often the real barriers and not always the world around us. In this episode I will share how small habits like walking, meditating, and setting boundaries can dramatically boost our confidence and resilience without all or nothing thinking. I share practical frameworks from my favorite read right now The Courage to Be Disliked, revealing how becoming more self -aware and owning responsibilities transforms our confidence. Plus, being on the journey of learning to trust our own voice, share our biggest dreams, and stop seeking external approval to do so. Looking at why this all matters and realizing that continuously knocking your crown off leads to self doubt of your own worth and stalls your life and sometimes your dreams. The real power lies in the tiny consistent promises you keep to yourself- reminding yourself of your own value everyday. This episode is the perfect one for moms, dreamers, and anyone tired of self imposed limits to live fully in 2026 for a stronger, braver, and unapologetic year. If you're ready to reset your crown and lean into our ptential this episode is that invitation. Remember delulu is the solulu- dream big, act brave and lets do exactly what we said and make 2026 our year. We don't have to wait for someday- we can reset our crown today. #selftrust #overcomeselfdoubt #empowermentn #DreamBig #confidenceboost #mindsetshift #2026goals #momlife #personalgrowth #disney
