Growth Isn’t Lonely: The Truth About Evolving Without Losing Everyone

Last week, we discussed the deep, internalized social rules that prevent high-achieving women from feeling safe in their own power. This week, Amanda Taylor tackles the emotional barrier that often stops women from applying that new power: the fear that growth means isolation.

Amanda unpacks the pervasive social media narrative that "growth is lonely," revealing why this simplified idea keeps ambitious women stuck in rooms they've outgrown. She provides a mature, non-dramatic framework for outgrowing your current environment without sacrificing your essential connections.

In this episode, Amanda unpacks:

• Why the idea that you must choose between growth and connection is outdated and inaccurate.
• The first real shift that happens when you evolve: a change in your tolerance for misalignment.
• Why women specifically confuse change with disloyalty, leading to the guilt that sabotages growth.
• The critical distinction: Support doesn't require understanding; it requires respect.
• The relationships that don't collapse dramatically but "fade quietly, naturally, without a villain."
• The loss worth celebrating: the version of you who stayed small so others could feel comfortable.
• Why Growth is not lonely, but growth around the wrong people is lonely.
• How stepping into the right room removes loneliness and creates belonging.
• 
  

If you are currently feeling the friction between who you've been and who you are becoming, this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking, step into your new character, and find the rooms where your ambition is seen as capability.

A powerful solo episode with Amanda Taylor on breaking internalized social rules and reclaiming your financial power.

Last week, we discussed the somatics of money and how wealth requires feeling safe in the body. This week, Amanda Taylor builds on that foundation by exploring the deep, internalized social rules that prevent high-achieving women from feeling safe in their own power and success.

Amanda breaks down the subtle, socially approved ways we shrink our power and reveals the Three Good Girl Rules that are costing women millions in ownership, opportunity, and peace.

In this episode, Amanda unpacks:

• Why the pursuit of success is often taught to look "admirable and digestible, but not sovereign."
• The three invisible rules: Don't Be Too Ambitious, Don't Talk About Money, and Don't Outshine, and the specific cost of each.
• The truth about the internal glass ceiling: You can only receive at the level you’re willing to be seen.
• Why ambition is clarity, not greed, and how to embrace your desire for overflow.
• The practical framework for reclaiming your power: The Three P’s (Permission, Power, and Portfolio).
• How to align your three layers of wealth (Active, Passive, and Influence Capital) to create a strategic ecosystem.

If you’ve ever found yourself minimizing your success, afraid to raise your prices, or worried about being "too much," this episode is your permission slip to lead with your truth and step into the woman who knows her worth.

In Episode 12, Amanda explored how to find your financial rhythm; staying grounded and intentional even when life gets messy.

This week, she takes that conversation deeper, from mindset into the body.

Amanda sits down with Madisen Rose, a somatic practitioner and divorce recovery coach, to explore how trauma, stress, and safety live in our nervous system and how those patterns directly affect our money decisions.

• Why you can’t create wealth from a dysregulated state
• How money mirrors your sense of safety and self-worth
• Simple somatic practices to shift from scarcity to security
• The real meaning of feeling supported by money

If you’ve ever wondered why affirmations and mindset work alone don’t stick, this episode will help you reconnect with your body, rebuild trust with money, and expand your capacity for abundance.
