Stay in Line for Your Dream | After Hours With Amanda Season 5 - Ep. 12

In this episode, I’m talking about anxiety, timing, dream chasing, and the coffee line analogy that changed how I see waiting. Just because someone else gets the dream before you does not mean yours is not coming. The only way you do not get your coffee is if you get out of line.

I’m also sharing about health anxiety, mammograms, meditation, glimmers of gratitude, keeping promises to myself, advocating for my body, and learning that authenticity starts with being honest with myself.

This one is for anyone who feels behind, scared, or tired of waiting. Stay in line, boo.
