In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Furgiuele, bestselling co-author of The Pursuit of Badasserie, to talk about leading with purpose and how she found power in the pause to boost productivity and clarity.
Amanda shares her “no-fluff approach” to business. We get into how you can refocus and recalibrate during overwhelm, solve problems in the chaos, and make powerful decisions by pausing with intention.
Embrace stillness without the guilt of compromising our drive for success. Because at the end of the day, everything is a choice. You just have to own it and be the change you want to see.
