In a season of pivots, growth, and next-level living, there’s one thing we don’t talk about enough: capacity.

You can’t move forward, sustain success, or heal burnout without it. In this episode, we explore what it really means to create space — not just for your business or leadership — but for the life you're called to build.

If you’ve been running on autopilot, carrying more than you were designed to hold, and craving a reset — this conversation is your invitation to finally listen. Because real pivots don’t just take courage. They take capacity.

✨ And if you’re ready to go deeper? Renew. Connect. Restore. — our signature luxury retreat — is the space to begin.

I'm going to speak it into existence that one day it will be named Essence Magazine’s Top 10 Retreats to Attend, Renew. Connect. Restore. is not just another getaway. It’s an expert-led retreat, hosted by Amanda Fludd, LCSW-R, psychotherapist and business visibility and executive wellness coach for high-achieving Black women who lead, seeking emotional wellness, healing, true rest, and sustainable growth.

Designed with top-tier workshops, transformational experiences, and built-in rest, this experience ensures emotional safety and realignment — not just temporary escape.

If you’re ready to experience a retreat where you can exhale, reconnect, and come back home to who you are- this is it, and it starts with capacity.

Spots are limited. Reserve your space now and come home to yourself — www.renewconnectrestore.com.

What if the version of you that everyone praises—the strong one, the responsible one, the achiever—was never meant to be your forever home?

In this episode, Amanda Fludd speaks directly to the high-achieving woman who feels stuck in cycles of overfunctioning, emotional exhaustion, and quiet guilt. You’ve built the life they told you to be proud of. And yet, it still feels like a cage.

Together, we unpack:
🔒 The self-built prison of survival, perfection, and self-denial
🧠 Why many women of color unknowingly shrink to stay safe or be accepted
🔥 How to stop playing small and start leading from your whole, healed self
👑 What it looks like to honor the woman you’re becoming—without waiting for more healing, permission, or applause

This isn’t just about fear. It’s about freedom.
And the courage to become who you already are.

Hey, Soulful CEOs! In this episode, I unpack the heavy truth about guilt, self-criticism, and the internal pressure that high-achieving women carry—especially women of color building bold careers, businesses, and legacies.

You’ll hear why that creeping sense of “not enoughness” is a lie, how it shows up in leadership, and what it actually takes to move forward when the voice in your head says you’ve already failed.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

– Why guilt isn’t a motivator—it’s a mindset trap
– How to recognize when guilt is masking deeper stories of shame and over-responsibility
– A powerful reflection to help you question old narratives and emotional responses
– Five ways to move forward with grace instead of grinding through guilt

This is a call back to wholeness.
Because grace isn’t weakness—it opens the door to wisdom.
