Stop Taking Your Own Crown Off | After Hours With Amanda Ep. 67

About this episode

In this episode, Amanda discusses self-confidence, joyful choices, and the importance of keeping promises to oneself while sharing personal anecdotes and insights.

In this episode, I’m talking about fixing your crown, saying dreams out loud, and realizing that sometimes I am the one knocking my own crown off. We’re getting into joyful choices, self confidence, walking, meditation, health PTSD, motherhood, Disney dreams, The Courage to Be Disliked, and why keeping small promises to yourself can rebuild trust in yourself. This is also the episode where I admit I recorded an entire podcast with no sound, talk about lice season, book a Disney cruise, and declare that 2026 is our year.
