"The power of yes is expansive when you say yes to the things that are meaningful to you. The power of yes is constrictive when you say yes to the things that are grounded in servitude." -Amanda Irtz
Welcome to Yes-ember! Our first guest is Amanda Irtz, a former middle school school leader and now parenting coach.
Amanda Irtz shares her life-altering journey from being a “yes woman” for everyone else all the way into burnout, into an entrepreneur and mother who has designed a life around expansive moments of “yes.” Amanda shares how she learned to say "yes" to self-care and things that aligned with her personal values and goals.
Then we talk through how Amanda helps parents thrive with the Confident Parent Collective, how she embraced co-parenting, and navigates through single motherhood to cultivate a nurturing environment for her family.
