This week we went deep into Amanda’s career story… how did things evolve over a decade?

Reconnecting as adults showed us we all go through the same motions in different seasons of our lives and even when the industries look completely different. Amanda shares what it was like chasing broadcasting dreams in her early twenties and living in the public eye, where everyone thinks they know your story. She opens up about life behind the scenes of working in news and what being a public figure meant for both her career and her personal life. The pressure, the pivots, the moments when you realize the thing you worked so hard for might not be the thing anymore. Walking away from what looked like a dream job ended up being one of the boldest and best decisions she’s made, even if it didn’t feel that way at the time. A whole era of life packed into one conversation.

In this conversation, the girlies get real about career transitions and what job searching actually looks like. We even digress and take an unexpected turn. Are job interviews like a season of The Bachelor? Basically waiting for another rose ceremony and making it to the next round?

It’s a conversation about reinvention in real time. About taking the leap before you feel ready. About making the move before life makes it for you.
Somewhere between the laughs and the honesty, you realize how many of us are figuring it out as we go.

Wait… what’s next? Our only constant.
