ππ£π°πΆπ΅ π΅π©π¦ ππΆπ¦π΄π΅:: Amanda Stern is a coach, writer, speaker, and expert in the practice of journaling as a tool for self-discovery, emotional clarity, and intentional living. A lifelong learner and former librarian, Amanda has built a unique approach to helping others show up more fully in their lives. She blends soft skills like presence and empathy with a bold curiosity about how we grow, adapt, and serve others... while staying grounded in our own values.
ππ£π°πΆπ΅ π΅π©π¦ ππ±πͺπ΄π°π₯π¦: Amanda Stern returns to the podcast for a powerful, vulnerable conversation about what it really means to show up... for ourselves and others. In a world constantly pushing us to βfind our lane,β Amanda challenges the idea that we must be one thing, do one thing, or stick to one path. Instead, she shares what happens when we lead with curiosity, practice presence, and honor the season weβre in.
From juggling multiple part-time roles to letting go of full-time journaling work, Amanda gets real about burnout, reinvention, and how self-reflection (through journaling or otherwise) helps us move forward with purpose. Itβs an episode full of insight, compassion, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating change, seeking meaning, or just trying to figure out whatβs next.
