PURPOSESCAPING with Amanda Miller Littlejohn

Volume of Opportunity


Listen Later

Episode Summary:

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that came into focus during a recent trip to NYC. Over the course of 36 hours, I had three major visibility opportunities—two were amazing, and one totally flopped. But instead of spiraling over the one that didn’t land, I felt grounded. Why? Because I had volume on my side.

When you stack opportunities, no single one has the power to derail your confidence. We explore why taking more swings is the secret to building momentum, buffering against failure, and staying resilient in your journey.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ Why opportunity is truly a numbers game

✨ How one “bad” talk didn’t break me because I had two wins lined up
✨ The mindset shift from machine to human (and why it matters)
✨ The power of applying for multiple fellowships, not just one
✨ How volume can emotionally insulate you from rejection
✨ Why you need to be planting seeds constantly to stay in momentum

Mentioned in This Episode:

📘 The Rest Revolution – My book on shifting away from perfectionism and hustle culture

🗽 NYC trip takeaways – 3 visibility moments in 36 hours
✍🏽 Journalism fellowships and personal essays – The power of applying and pitching in batches

Spring Clarity Workshop - Get clear on what hunger is currently calling you

Listener Takeaway:

Stop betting everything on one perfect pitch or one big moment. Instead, embrace volume. Take more shots. Apply to more things. Speak in more rooms. Create more opportunities for yourself so you’re never defined by just one.

All you need is one to hit.

Join me for a Spring Clarity Workshop on April 13

In a couple of weeks, I'm hosting a Spring Clarity Workshop over Zoom to offer a structured, supportive space to pause, reflect, and figure out what’s actually next for this season of your life and work.

I'll meet live with attendees to focus on: 

  • Getting clear on what season you’re in now (because seasons shift, and your brand should too) 
  • Getting clear on what goal you most want to focus on and what actions you need to take to reach that goal
  • Mapping your next aligned moves based on what’s easy for you but valuable to others 
  • Auditing your brand story, visibility, and time investment to bring your work into better focus
  • The investment is just $95, and I’d love to have you in the room.
