She offers executive coaching and counseling with a spiritual lens.Amanda shares her "non-linear" journey toward a career of more meaning and truth. She shares her experiences, her continued education to lean more into what was driving her from within, after a very successful career in sales.We talk about the doubt that surfaces as we move into a new career not defined by title nor salary.
