Episode 107: A Clarion Call to "Get Your Brave On" When Life Kicks You In the Teeth. Amanda Carroll

Your Biggest Breakthrough

Divorce. It's the last thing any married person wants to hear or consider. Yet, it's sometimes inevitable. The other party sometimes just loses interest in the other person, loses sight of the vision they once had for their marriage.

What are you to do?

Amanda Carroll's former husband told her one night he was leaving her and their three children. Her response? "We're out of milk." Survival mode kicked into high gear; her first and only thought was the welfare of her children - and they were out of milk.

Suddenly the unthinkable was reality: starting over with the shame of divorce hanging over her head, all the while finding success in one of the top media markets in the U.S.

But rather than being judged and shamed by her superiors, she found grace and willingness to help. Amanda reframed her thinking. Rather than being "that woman" who is salvaging an identity from a failed marriage, she was given the opportunity to start fresh with her life - right when most of her peers are in the middle of theirs, sometimes in their own unhappy marriages.

We hope that in listening to our conversation with Amanda Carroll, you'll come away encouraged and energized, ready to "Brave Life" and kick those sorrows in the teeth!

Amanda adopted the phrase "Get Your Brave On" ten years ago when she became a single mother of 3. At the time her children were 4, 2, and 8 weeks old. A year later her personal hashtag propelled her forward, and she was able to rebuild her life, move across the country, and start her dream job...all before her oldest started kindergarten.

She also loves to lift heavy at the gym, cycle, and has a side gig as a "professional spectator" cheering on her athletic teenagers from the sidelines.
