Grow Your Brand With Amanda

Wellness coach Joanne Pagett shares what it really looks like to build authority without forcing yourself into a version of ‘confidence’ that doesn’t fit.

Joanne introduces her FAB framework, Fuel, Activity, Beliefs, and explains why su...

In this episode, I’m joined by Shelley Wilson, a multi-genre author who works with business owners ready to turn their expertise into something lasting.

We explore why visibility isn’t just about “doing more content,” but about who you believe you...

I had a great chat with the lovely Donna Henley as we unwrapped what really drives us as business owners beyond the pep talks and productivity hacks.

We talk about the messy, beautiful balance between motivation, self-belief, and authenticity, and how our emotions, stories, and even music shape the way we show up in business.

Have you ever landed a podcast, an interview, or press coverage and then realised it barely made a ripple?

In this episode, I lift the lid on why most entrepreneurs underuse their hard-won media moments and how my brand-new system, AMPLIFY, changes everything!

Before I rebranded my podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Chantal, coach, mama, and all-round wise woman who opened up about her journey into understanding the nervous system (and trust me, she makes it all make sense). We talked about why emotional regulation isn’t just for grown-ups, how overwhelm can creep in when you’re juggling parenting and life, and why being trauma-informed matters more than ever.

But it’s not all scienc...

Ever struggled to explain what you actually do in one sentence? Or felt like your story wasn't "interesting enough" to share?

In this episode, my guest Philippa Ross and I dissect the messy middle of authentic visibility, the part where you question the labels, navigate the pressure to be polished, and wonder if anyone’s even listening.

Philippa’s own personal journey includes everything from podcasting and personal development to ...

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the brilliant Eve Stanway, a divorce and breakup coach, a psychotherapist, and the author of Conversations at the Shoreline.

We go deep around the fears that keep us quiet, especially those rooted in childhood or big life changes like divorce. We talk about how those experiences can mess with your confidence and make visibility feel way harder than it needs to be.

We also chat about the pressur...

My guest Shauna, did just that and what happened next was a total game-changer.

One carefully crafted release led to hundreds of thousands of pounds in media coverage, interviews across Europe, and a massive leap in visibility for her brand. And the most amazing part? It wasn’t even part of some big PR strategy. It was accidental. Organic. And unbel...

I love stories that started out as one thing and ended up as another and that’s exactly what happened with this week’s guest, Jenna Farmer. Imagine starting out as a teacher in China and then pivoting to become a PR powerhouse!

In an industry that was historically perceived as middle class and London-centric, Jenna has helped hundreds to buck this trend and made them masters of their own PR game.
