Lately, I’ve been feeling something I hadn’t felt in a while… inspired.
Motivated. Connected. Alive in my purpose.

And then I had that sneaky little thought:“Wait—why haven’t I been doing all this all along?”😂 Oh, you know the one!
The truth is, we all go through cycles: rest, reset, and repositioning.That’s where I was. I wasn’t disconnected because I didn’t care.I was still because my soul was saying:
“Amanda, you need to shift—elevate—expand.”
And I listened. I got still. And thank goodness I did.
I stopped waiting for the perfect answer and just asked myself:“What do I need?” Then I followed the energy.
I went to networking events.
Met new people.
Picked up new books.
Reconnected with myself.
I started working on scenes again. Monologues. Journaling. Moving my body.

And there it was—that beautiful, undeniable “aha” moment:
But I had to be honest with myself. If I want this dream, I have to show up for it. Not just in silence and vision boards—but by offering my services, my experience, my talent.I had to let myself be seen again.
So I did. I posted on IG. I started sharing my story again. I got back into my self-care routines (yes, facials included 💅🏽). I reached out to my network. Built new ones.
Because here's the truth: People can’t support you if they don’t know what you do. And if you’re not showing up, how can they find you?
I reminded folks who I am.What I offer. What I’ve learned. What I want to do next.And in those conversations—catching up, being curious, listening—I found inspiration again.I booked a project. 🙌🏽
And not by pitching hard or forcing anything.But by being genuine. By being proud of my craft.By boldly saying what I want, and letting the world rise to meet me.

So now I ask you…What do YOU need?✨ A mindset reset?✨ Confidence to reach out to that agent or casting director?✨ Help revamping your website, pitch deck, or actor portfolio?✨ Or maybe support in just remembering how powerful you truly are?
I GOT YOU.
