In this episode of The Thriving Mompreneur, host Liz Kent talks with therapist, yoga instructor, and creative, Amanda Baker, about how authenticity, creativity, and courage have shaped her personal and professional journey.

Amanda shares how her online community, Alchemize, integrates therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and creative expression to help people reconnect with themselves and each other.

Together, Liz and Amanda explore what it means to step out of burnout, embrace your humanness, and design a life and business that truly align with your values, especially as a mom.

Key Takeaways

• Authenticity is Healing: When therapists and clients show up as their real, imperfect selves, it deepens connection and accelerates growth.

• Creative Integration: Blending modalities like yoga, mindfulness, and writing can create powerful, holistic healing experiences.

• Courage to Evolve: Change often feels uncomfortable, but stepping out of traditional systems can lead to work that feels truly aligned and energizing.

• Modeling Wholeness for Our Kids: Showing our children that we pursue what lights us up teaches them the value of authenticity and balance.

• Community Transforms: Healing and growth are magnified in community; when people gather vulnerably, they reflect courage and strength back to each other.
