About this episode

Amanda shares her journey from military life to becoming a successful freelance grant writer, winning over $1M in grants.

Amanda didn’t plan to leave her in-house job and jump into freelance grant writing, but her husband's active duty forced her to figure out a flexible career fast. As a mom of three and a retired Marine Corps veteran, she’s built a flexible business. Amanda is most proud of having won over $1M in grants and creating a career that works around her life (not the other way around). If you want freedom, impact, and a sustainable grant writing business, this is the story you need to hear.
