TThis week on Unhinged & Unfiltered, we sit down with the incredible Amanda, the woman behind Mrs Brain Trainer, for a conversation that quickly became so much more than just talking about what she does.

Amanda takes us right back to the beginning: becoming a mum at 17, living in a Glasgow council flat, feeling like her circumstances might have already decided her future, and the turning points that changed everything.

We talk about mindset, self belief, female empowerment, ambition, changing direction and giving yourself permission to want more. We ask whether the story we tell ourselves about our lives can ultimately become the life we live and why women can be so brilliant at believing in everyone else, yet struggle to believe in themselves.

But this episode is really about the woman behind the success.

The moments that changed Amanda. The challenges that shaped her. The decision to stop letting her circumstances define her. And the journey of becoming the woman she is today.

There were tears. There were huge celebrations of how far we’ve both come. And there were some very honest conversations about the turning points in life that make us who we are.

Amanda, thank you for being so open, vulnerable and completely yourself. ❤️

This one is for anyone who has ever wondered whether it’s too late to change their story.

Spoiler: it’s not.
