Hi Reader,

I'm thrilled to share my latest episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells featuring personal brand strategist Beth Hocking. In How to Get Paid to Be Yourself, we explore something unexpected: building your personal brand isn't just a business strategy—it's a profound healing journey that helps you reclaim who you were before the world told you to be someone else.

Beth left a wildly successful 20-year corporate career (think: director at 27, closing multi-million dollar deals, flying business class around the world) because she witnessed too many brilliant women being overlooked—not because they weren't good enough, but because they were hiding their true selves. Now she helps women get paid to be fully seen, heard, and valued without watering themselves down.

If you've ever:

• Downplayed your achievements because you didn't want to seem "braggy"
• Lost trust in yourself after dreams didn't work out as planned
• Felt like you needed more qualifications or readiness before stepping into your power

...this conversation will remind you that you're already enough, and readiness is simply a decision.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The sound bath download that led to Beth's biggest identity shift (and a 20K month)
• Why self-trust—not confidence—is the real foundation of transformation
• How reconnecting to who you truly are (and amplifying it) can help you heal
• Beth’s SEEN Method - Self-trust, Embodied leadership, Elevated identity, and Notability

As Beth shares in this powerful episode:

"Who were you before the world taught you to be somebody else? Like literally going back and reclaiming who we are at our core, at the very essence of us, before somebody else taught us to be ashamed or afraid or fearful or judged of our bigger dreams or our bigger mission and purpose."

With love,

Amanda

P.S. If you know a purpose-driven leader or entrepreneur who's been hiding their brilliance or playing small, please share this episode with them. Sometimes we all need permission to step into our power—and this conversation might be exactly what they need to hear right now.

P.P.S. One of my biggest dreams is to have this podcast reach the top 1% worldwide! In order to do that, I need your help! If you haven't already, can you go follow the show and give it a five star rating? You can do this on Spotify or Apple (though Apple let's you leave an actual review, too!) I appreciate it so much!
