#44 AMANDA SILVAS: FAILURES WON’T BREAK YOUR HEART, EXPECTATIONS WILL. STOP AVOIDING YOUR JOURNEY BY HIDING FROM THE HARD STUFF. GROWING A 6-FIGURE COACHING BUSINESS WITH MY HUSBAND.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I’m your host Ali Daniel. 

 

I’m joined by Amanda Silvas today! Amanda is a speaker, teacher and coach who helps women discover their greater purpose and cultivate deeper self-love and awareness through her in person events, workshops and online programs. 

 

I wanted to bring Amanda on today because I think she has a really unique perspective on starting her coaching business. First, she helped her husband build his to 6-figures, operating behind the scenes. But she began to realize that by not creating her own meaningful work and impact, she wasn’t fulfilling her OWN deeper purpose and calling. 

 

So after months of hiding in fear, wondering what other people would think, que the “Who does she think she IS” thoughts, Amanda decided to start showing up and announce that she was starting her own coaching business. On this episode we talk about those insidious stories and critical self-talk that keep us from showing up. The ones that keep us playing small and hiding, preventing others from hearing our message. 

 

We talk about how to find your purpose, how to understand your values and WHY they’re so important to feeling fulfilled in your life. We talk about the best thing you can do for yourself if you’re feeling stagnant or stuck and how we both got out of our ruts by using this same exact strategy that her and I BOTH now teach!

 

We also dive into the 3 stages of life and how to understand what stage you’re in and how to use it to work through the obstacles you face. Amanda shares how so many of us can get caught up in one stage by learning TOO much and not taking action but what you can ask yourself to flip the switch and get out of that mode.

 

I loved hearing Amanda’s unique journey of how she got to this point in her coaching business and how she’s been able to use her many years of knowledge and experience in personal growth and relationships to help other women find success in their own lives.

 

Amanda just radiates warmth and love and I appreciate all the nuggets of wisdom she had to share on this episode. If you have the opportunity to learn from her or attend one of her events, you should jump on the chance! Her Las Vegas JoyRide event is coming up on the 21st and 22nd and you can either attend LIVE or get a virtual ticket which is really cool!
