In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, May 4, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
People afraid of pain don’t grow. Those afraid of failure won’t try. Folks too worried about making mistakes will quit. People who aren’t willing to be uncomfortable will stay in the same place. Those afraid of confrontation won’t ever speak up. Folks who hold tight...

Hi, I am Amanda, and I get emotional when someone sends me a message to ask how I’m doing. Crazy, right?! I am so focused on accomplishing big things, supporting people, and pushing kids into the spotlight. I am busy trying to make people’s lives...

I run a dance studio, right? It’s our tenth year, and I’m over the moon about the success of the place. When I opened, I thought I would teach dance…nope. It turned out to be so much more than that – love and family, challenges...

Tales of the Recovering People Pleaser continue as I work to shed the idea that my worth is conditional. If you missed my last post, go see it, and ride the wave with me toward peace…at least let’s hope. People Pleasing is awful. Do not...
