“I’m So Tired of Trying to Prove Myself…to Myself”

Remembering Your Voice

Hello Beautiful Readers/Listeners, In this episode, I’m joined by Lucy Down [https://substack.com/@thebusinessofbecoming], founder of Fresh Leaf Creative and Kindred Founders, for a conversation about what happens when the way we’ve been told to build a business no longer feels aligned. Throughout, Lucy reflects on her own journey; from giving away her self-trust and following someone else’s version of success, to reclaiming the parts of herself she’d learned to hide. Together, we explore belonging, ‘too muchness’, building differently, and why running a business becomes one of the biggest personal growth journeys we’ll ever take. We also talk about Lucy’s idea of becoming a signal - getting clear, being strategic, having external support and ultimately, receiving. It’s a conversation about remembering your voice, reconnecting to who you are beneath the layers of conditioning, and proving that a different way is often your own way 💛 Happy listening,Amanda x Don’t forget to subscribe to Lucy’s Substack publications:The Business of Becoming [https://thebusinessofbecoming.substack.com/] and Press Publish [https://presspublish.substack.com/] You can also find the Kindred Founders community HERE [https://www.kindredfounders.com/].

Women Creating Differently, Together...

Hello Beautiful Readers/Listeners, This week’s podcast episode feels like a super important conversation. What began a few weeks ago with me questioning whether supporting one woman at a time was enough, led into two further pieces exploring the emotional stretch of choosing differently; the energy women spend on just surviving, and an interwoven thread of reconnecting to yourself and others. In this episode, I’m joined by Synne Linden, founder of Tidle - the world’s only empathy-first matchmaking agency for women in business. Together, we dive into why helping one woman at a time matters more than we realise, what most of us are silently carrying underneath while trying to build businesses, and the possibilities that open up when women feel genuinely supported and emotionally safe. If you’re a heart-led woman in business, knowing what you do makes a difference, but just feeling drained by ‘how things usually work’ then this one’s for you. It’s a conversation (with some laughs!) about building differently, together - and the ripple effect we can create for collective change in the world. Happy listening 💛Amanda xAnd don’t forget to….

The Invisible Progress You Don’t Even Realise You’re Making...

Hello Beautiful Listeners/Readers, Do you have those moments where it feels like nothing is really shifting? Even though you’re staying in your lane and doing the work that feels right to you…that confusing, frustrating space where progress feels painfully slow, or completely invisible? In this episode, we explore what may actually be happening underneath - why progress doesn’t always look or feel the way we expect, and how those subtle, often overlooked shifts are shaping far more than you realise. If you’ve been asking whether you’re really moving forward (I know I have), this will help you begin to see your journey a little differently…and recognise the progress you’ve already made. This one is for you if sometimes, progress feels invisible 💛 Happy listening,Amanda x If you recognise that feeling of invisible progress in your business, this is exactly what you can explore more deeply inside my self-paced workshop: ‘Why You’re Resisting Sales Work as a Female Founder - And How to Sell in a Way That Feels True to You’...

Why you’re not quite allowing yourself to be fully seen…

Hello Beautiful Listeners, Is there a part of you not fully hiding…but not fully seen either? In this episode, I explore that subtle ‘almost, but not quite’ space so many midlife women founders find themselves in - where you’re already visible, already creating impact, but something deeper is still being held back. We uncover what’s really driving that hesitation, and why it makes complete sense… And how old narratives may be trying to protect you in ways that are now limiting your expansion…so you can begin to understand what it might look like to feel safe enough to finally be seen as your true self. If you’re in that ‘almost, but not quite’ space, this one is for you 💛 Happy listening,Amanda x Book a free 30 minute heart to heart with me here: The other Inner Ally posts and episodes mentioned in this episode, and worth checking out: Thanks for listening to the The Inner Ally Podcast!
