33. Part 1 of 2 From Social to Solitude: Lessons from a refinement season with Amanda Hanquist

In this episode of the Mo-Nection podcast, I sit down with financial planner and friend Amanda Hanquist, who shares a deeply personal journey over the past six months. Amanda, once known as the "Get It Done" gal, previously kept her followers updated daily on social media, juggling her role as a mom, businesswoman, and health-conscious individual. But after undergoing two eye surgeries, Amanda found herself in a season of quiet and reflection.This shift from her usual active social media presence to a more introspective, slower-paced life led Amanda to discover the powerful gift of empathy. In this episode, she discusses how her health scares gave her the space to pause, reflect, and refine her mindset—not just as a professional but as a person. She opens up about the evolution she experienced, learning how to prioritize herself and embrace stillness while navigating this period of personal growth.Tune in to hear Amanda’s raw and inspiring story about how vulnerability, rest, and self-reflection can lead to incredible personal evolution.More about Amanda:Amanda is a financial planner, co-founder of Fit Wealth Advisors, and a passionate advocate for helping women build wealth and take control of their financial future.
