S5EP:1 Shes Baaaack! Relocating, ASD & Album Release!
Send us Fan MailWelcome to Season 5 of The Thriving & Surviving Podcast! Amanda's back, and she's got a lot to fill you in on. This first episode is a real, unfiltered life update on the three big things that have shaped the last little while: coming to terms with an ASD diagnosis and how it's reframed the way she sees herself and the world, the emotional rollercoaster of packing up and moving to a new home, and the wild, vulnerable journey of finally releasing an album. Expect plenty of honesty, a few laughs, and the usual reminder that you can be both thriving and surviving at the same time. Settle in - it's good to be back.

S4EP2: Pitfalls of your first ever business
Send us Fan MailIn this ep, I'm sitting down with Emma — my OG business partner and the other half of Train With The Girls (TWTG), the first company we built from the ground up. We’re chatting about what it was really like starting a business together with zero roadmap, just a shared vision and a whole lot of trial and error.From figuring out how to balance friendship and business, to the lessons we learnt the hard way (hello, launch chaos and growing pains), this convo is a raw, honest look at what it takes to start something from scratch. We also unpack how those early wins and stumbles shaped how we run things today — with way more clarity, confidence, and boundaries.If you’ve ever launched something before, worked with a partner, or just love a behind-the-scenes on how a brand really starts — this one’s for you.
