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.

Ever feel like you're carrying the world but standing still?
Today’s episode serves as a reminder that staying stuck isn’t a strength, and pushing harder isn’t the only way forward.

We’re digging into the hidden ways overachievement, fear, and outdated expectations keep ambitious women — especially Black women leaders and entrepreneurs — trapped in lives and businesses that no longer fit. And more importantly, I’m showing you how to pivot with grace, clarity, and courage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why getting stuck feels like loyalty — but costs your future
• How to recognize the signs that it’s time to shift
• Permission to redefine success without guilt
• The small moves that rebuild your momentum and leadership energy

Because pivoting isn’t quitting. Pivoting is choosing yourself.

How many times have you looked back and thought, If only I had started sooner…? If only I had left that job, launched that business, taken that trip, or bet on myself—where would I be now?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the cycle of procrastination, perfectionism, and fear that keeps us from taking action. I’ll share my own journey of waiting too long to start this podcast, the emotional resistance that kept me stuck, and why I’m finally moving forward—even in uncertainty.

We’ll explore:
✨ The hidden fear behind "getting ready" (aka procrastination in disguise)
✨ Why clarity comes in action, not before it
✨ How to shift from “If only I…” to “I’m doing it now.”

This space is for ambitious women of color navigating leadership, purpose, and life on their terms—so if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” moment, let’s break that cycle today.

Homework Questions:

🔹 What’s the thing you’re finally choosing to start?
🔹 Where are you waiting for certainty before taking action?
🔹 Where can you move forward even in indecision?

Let’s talk about it—drop your answers in the comments or journal about them today.

🎧 Listen in, get inspired, and let’s move forward together.

You probably know when things aren't going well in your life or business, but did you realize you might be the problem? It's a tough pill to swallow, but often, our biggest roadblocks are self-created. In today’s episode, we peel back the layers of just showing up versus showing up committed. Are you merely interested or are you fully committed to your dreams and goals?

We’re getting honest about why you might not be seeing the progress you expect. It’s not about self blame and being even harder on yourself than you already are—it’s about understanding and adjusting your approach. I've got the questions you NEED to ask that will push you to evaluate your efforts and intentions. Are they aligned, or are you letting down the purpose you claim to champion?

Join us for a candid discussion that will help you clarify your commitment and align your actions with your ambitions.
