In this episode of The Amanda Bucci Show, we explore what it really looks like (and what's truly required) to "own your gifts" and actualize your potential: in life and business. Amanda breaks down the details of the the identity shift everyone goes through when it comes to acknowledging you have a vision and gifts that can serve the collective...and everything you let go of and take radical responsibility for to actualize those into "getting paid to exist."  If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for something more—more visibility, more impact, more alignment—this episode is your permission slip (and loving wake-up call) to claim that version of you, step by step.

Amanda shares the real behind-the-scenes of what it actually looks like to go from gifted-but-uncertain to a fully expressed, well-paid, and powerfully grounded leader in your authentic authority. You’ll hear stories, insights, and hard-earned wisdom on why ownership is the portal, identity work is the path, and radical responsibility is the price of admission.

Perfect for intuitive leaders, creatives, coaches, and healers who know they’ve been hiding behind their potential for just a bit too long.

• 01:52 – What does it look like to "own your gifts"?
• 04:36 – Going full send on your potential requires this
• 07:21 – The first initiation: am I really the ne?
• 12:10 – Identifying as this person before you take action

• 32:20 – Why it hurts to let go of self-limiting, identities
• 38:10 –If you are the problem, you are the solution

Building a business that reflects who you truly are isn’t a straight path. After quadrupling my revenue for four years straight, I reached the moment every evolving entrepreneur faces: the version I built no longer fit the version I had become.

This is the behind-the-scenes story of the full tear down: the brand, the offers, the direction—that I dismantled to make space for what wanted to emerge. This wasn't just a rebrand with new colors and fonts, but a new way of being that's more precise, nervous-system safe, and aligned with who I've always been.

For the creative leader navigating the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you’re becoming—this is your episode.

I share:

• Why I tore it all down, and what I'm building now

• The in-between-years of not knowing the answers

• The key moments I trusted myself—and when I didn’t

• The personal and professional unraveling and surrender that led me to deep clarity 

• How I navigated identity shifts, business model pivots, and pricing decisions

• The experiences that created nervous system patterns that made success feel unsafe (and how I'm rewiring that now)

• How I distilled my multi-passionate creativity into a clear, embodied brand

• What I’ve retired, kept, and created—and why

If you’re in the season of rebuilding or realigning, this one’s for you.

Timestamps:

• 00:00 — For those who feel called to rebuild
• 03:42 — Naturally wired for success, naive to the pains of expansion (fitness to business years)
• 12:30 — The moment I knew I had to tear it down
• 15:48 — The nervous system wiring of "success equals suffering"
• 19:02 — Dissolution of a centralized brand and the years of exploration
• 22:15 — Starting a second company (and the deeper fear running that decision)
• 32:10 — Decentering business to prioritize play, community, and relationships
• 40:25 — The Brand Arc; deep self inquiry and the vision that changed everything
• 47:30 — Business model testing: masterminds, 1:1s, courses — feeling into what’s true for my energy
• 49:42 — Nervous system healing: meeting the parts that wired letdown and fear of success
• 52:06 — Designing a body of work that feels like home

Can you get paid to be you? The foundation of your career path is figuring out how to harness what makes you feel most energized. But most of us won’t figure that out in one shot. Just like dating, your career will take some trial and error before you find the best fit for you. If you’re willing to play the game and do some trial and error, you can and you will find your way.

Today’s guest is my best friend Ashley Stahl. Most of you know whenever Ashley is on the podcast there is going to be incredible energy and conversation about clarity, authenticity, and making sure you’re being YOU. Ashley is Counterterrorism professional turned Career Coach who helps people nail interviews and job offers, and  find a career they really love. She’s also the host of her own podcast, YouTurn.

Ashley has a book coming out with strategic and actionable steps on finding career clarity and how to make sure you’re setting yourself up for a business model you are in alignment with based on who you are as a person. In this episode, we dive into how to identify your core skills and core nature, the connection between success and worthiness, being okay with trial and error,  life cycles, and the 10 core skillset umbrellas.

In the current state of the coaching industry, we are being called towards a new way of leadership. We are seeking alignment more than anything else. No more pushing and forcing things to happen.

Oftentimes, entrepreneurs get stuck doing things they think they SHOULD be doing, when in reality, success as an entrepreneur comes from actually understanding your inner self. When you’re confronted with thousands of other people doing something similar to you on the daily, it’s imperative to develop a strong sense of self and make decisions based on what’s the most aligned for you; rather than what’s trending.

Today’s guest is Josh Hamilton, my co-founder and business partner for The Entrepreneurial Archetype Brand. Josh is an Entrepreneur archetype; meaning he’s a behind the scenes, a wizard of all things strategy and vision, and a wonderful compliment to my creator-coach type. Josh has been a high-level business consultant for years, having worked with and scaled numerous companies to 7-figures.

Today’s episode is a behind-the-scenes conversation with the Founders of the Entrepreneurial Archetype, and we discuss:

• What’s coming in the future of the Entrepreneurial Archetypes
• Why the Archetypes are the next Enneagram
• Josh and Amanda coming together as co-founders and business partners
• Behind the scenes mapping out the business

When launching a new course or program, what you’re really doing is birthing a new version of yourself into the world. If you’ve ever launched something, I’m sure you’ve experienced some level of anxiety, fear, and emotional ups and downs. The success that gets to come from putting out something awesome that gives people amazing results can come with a whirlwind of emotions. It can also affect your energy and the way you relate to yourself.

I work with many entrepreneurs who pour their heart, energy, and bandwidth into creating and launching incredible group programs or 1:1 offers. This episode is all about embodied launching aka being able to plan and execute a calm grounded and successful launch without being on an emotional rollercoaster.

In this episode, I walk you through steps for a grounded launch and we cover:

• Being all 4 archetypes at once
• Lack of awareness for an optimized launch
• Anxiety and avoidance while launching
• Organization and delegation
• Feminine and masculine during a launch
• Energy over framework
