In today’s episode, I am joined by the truly amazing and super creative Amanda Cottrell. Amanda is a full time teacher, self-published author and mother of 1.
It was a truly enlightening conversation. Amanda’s vision is so beautiful and crystal clear. She was born to teach and help empower people by accessing their unique creative capacities.
Amanda’s journey began writing and illustrating Children’s Books to enhance the written curriculum and the unwritten curriculum in elementary school. Through years of experience she noticed that children need support in expressing themselves and in mindful ways.
She first set a goal for herself selling 1 book a day first and easily surpassed this and now sells over 4 books a day. By the time of the interview, she had nearly over 150 books (it ill definitely be way more by the time of this episode).
As a yoga and mindfulness enthusiast as well, Amanda uses her knowledge of yoga and mindful practices to guide her stories and get kids up and moving while or to connect to themselves on a deeper level.
Teaching is not just about guiding the students but also about learning along with them. Amanda believes in lifelong learning and is continuously taking courses in different areas of interest.
Believe, Create, Inspire! She truly is an inspiring woman who wears many hats with a B.A in Political Science, B.Ed in elementary education, M.Ed specializing in creativity and technology, Reiki master, yoga for young children instructor, artist, mom, author, illustrator and teacher. She also runs a small arts based business teaching art workshops.
