Today is an exciting day! It can finally be announced that I will be the host of the revamped Girlboss podcast. I know what you are thinking......"Amanda.....you are a 40 year old mom of 3 and anti-hustle culture....aren't you against girlbossing?"

Hi Friends!!! After three years, I can't believe I finally get to say this: Toxic Grit is now available everywhere books are sold! Tag me if you see it in the wild!! When society tells us to seek balance, this book is here to help you find intentional imbalance. I wrote this book as an antidote to hustle culture and the binary pendulums we face every day. Life is full of contradictions. To be hard and soft. To be assertive and receiving. To be consistent and free-spirited. When the world is...
