Guest Amanda Hamilton left a successful 10-year career in Corporate Retail when she understood that she wanted to be more authentic and control her work. Amanda’s search for independence was tested when her new business website debuted the first month of the pandemic. Her remembering mitigates the risk that she has always been able to figure things out. Amanda also draws strength in her 27-member team at work. On those days where self-doubt crops up, her team’s support and reliance on her give her a sense of purpose and confidence. Her sometimes struggle with loneliness is also on the mend as she has learned to take care of herself with meditation and make time for friends and family.
