What happens when life forces you to become someone you never planned to be?
Amanda Kloots has reinvented herself more times than most people ever will. From Broadway performer to television host, entrepreneur, wellness founder, widow, and single mother. But this conversation of Superwomen isn't about career pivots. It's about the identity shifts that made every next chapter possible.
Amanda and Rebecca explore grief, ambition, failure, resilience, and why the version of yourself that builds one season of life often isn't the version that carries you into the next. Listen to find out how she built her survival instinct and why she never says anything is “hard” anymore.
