We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Amanda Ann a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Amanda , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.
One of the hardest moments of my life was a year after I separated from my children’s father. I felt very alone and lost. I was having to work 3 jobs and be a mom at the same time. Finding balance between work, children and having a social life was so hard. Life is never fully planned out perfectly and I had to learn how to adapt and grow in my struggles. I have made it through tremendous heartbreak and on the journey of healing and becoming my best self.
Amanda , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m 36 single mama of two little girls. I love being a mom. I have been a content creator for about 6 years now. I enjoy sharing fashion, beauty, hair tips and lifestyle. I find a lot of joy in expressing myself on my page and connecting with my followers. I also I’m a co-host to a new post called Girls On Top! It’s happy out with your bestie! We talk about life, relationships and whatever else comes on topic! Im a co-owner in a hot yoga studio and enjoy teaching fitness classes. Health and wellness is important to me.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
You have to do what is best for you. I was living for other for a long time, and one day I decided I needed to put my own happiness as a priority. I know it can be scary and hard but it’s important to live your best life for yourself.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
So I have two business partners for two different business. One is my fitness studio and one is my podcast. Both of them were friends. Biggest tip is know someone’s work ethics before you go into business with them.
