If you’re here, you’re probably standing between chapters. The old life doesn’t fit anymore and the new one isn’t clear yet. I know that hallway. I’ve lived in it. You’re in the right place.
My name is Amanda. I’m 39 years old, I’m a mom to two beautiful girls, and I’m engaged to the love of my life, James. Most women find me through Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook.
I’m a total girl’s girl. I want every woman living her very best life, creating one she doesn’t have to escape from. I’m the one having the real conversations about relationships, self-worth, confidence, and becoming the best version of you.
Social media moves fast, and honestly, it’s just a glimpse. I wanted a place for deeper conversations, somewhere I can actually help women reach their goals.
Why I chose A Few Chapters Ahead
I chose this name not because I have life all figured out. Because I absolutely do not. I chose it because I’ve lived through a few chapters that have changed me.
I got married at 22. Shortly after, I became a mother. I built businesses. I changed careers. Along the way, I became different versions of myself.
After nearly 14 years of marriage, I went through a divorce at 35 and had to figure out who I was outside of the life I thought I’d have forever.
Then I got into another relationship that taught me how easy it is to ignore your intuition when you desperately want something to work. I stayed longer than I should have. That relationship made me question my worth and who I was as a person.
After it ended, I went through some hard years discovering what Amanda wanted and what she needed. I became more in touch with my spirituality. I started a dating and relationship podcast because I wanted a space to help other women heal and find healthy love.
Today I’m engaged to a man I love so deeply. I now know what it feels like to be fully myself in a relationship, where love feels safe instead of confusing, where my nervous system can finally exhale.
No matter what chapter you’re in
I want this to be a space where every woman feels welcome. Rebuilding, becoming, starting over, it all belongs here. Maybe you’re going through a divorce or a bad breakup. Maybe you just feel lost about what your next chapter looks like. Or maybe you simply want to work on your confidence and find yourself again, what makes you happy, what makes you feel aligned.
And it’s not all heavy. We’re going to have fun here too. Expect open, honest conversations about relationships, confidence, self-worth, spirituality, beauty, wellness, and creating a life you don’t have to escape from. I’ll share the lessons and the things I wish I’d known sooner, in hopes they help you.
A little deeper
There will always be free letters, notes, and conversations here. The paid side is where we go deeper. That’s where I’ll share more personal, in-depth stories, practical guidance, and monthly mini challenges to help you live your dream life.
I’ll never pretend I have it all figured out. Life is a beautiful journey of learning and growing. But I’ll tell you what worked for me and what didn’t. Most of it I learned the hard way.
Loud and clear
If you feel behind right now, hear this loud and clear: it’s not too late for you. The best chapters haven’t been written yet.
You don’t have to stay in a life that no longer feels like yours just because you’re afraid you missed your chance. I’ve been there. You’re allowed to change your mind, raise your standards, want more, and start over as many times as it takes.
You’re not behind. You are becoming.
Before you go, tell me in the comments: which chapter are you in right now? I read every single one.
Light + Love
Amanda 🤍
So special baby
