Making personal development simple

Become the version of yourself you want to be.

You’re ambitious and driven. So why does your life still feel out of alignment with the person you want to be?

You’re not the type to settle for just getting through the day. You know you’re capable of more; you feel it in those moments when inspiration strikes— like when you suddenly get the urge to reorganize your closet, sign up for the pottery class you’ve wanted to take, or finally launch the side business that’s been living in the back of your mind for years.

But it’s hard to stay focused when you’re pulled in so many directions. You’ve got deadlines at work, laundry piling up, and barely enough time to squeeze in self-care, let alone go after your bigger goals.

Truth be told, you’re ready to step into a version of yourself you’re proud of—someone who actually follows through, who feels fulfilled, aligned with your values, and excited about the life you’re creating. But you’re not interested in feel-good platitudes that don’t account for the demands and busyness of your everyday life.

You need a growth strategy that actually works for you.

Habits that don’t fall apart when life does.

Mindset shifts that help you stay grounded, even on the toughest days.

And systems that work for you, not against you.

The person you want to become is waiting for you — this is where it happens.

"These workshops are truly transformative"

"These workshops are truly transformative... Just doing Module 1 alone has been illuminating: a ton of under-expressed value shave surfaced organically while others that (previously) had such a grip on my life, have naturally fallen away that have left me feeling lighter, more grounded, centered and aligned. I can’t thank you enough."

— Victoria J., State of Self Member

"I can tell that this gift of yours is what you were created to do"

"You do a lovely job of meeting clients where they are at, guiding clients along vs. pushing or telling them 'how' to walk the path, and you make sure we are the ones to determine the path (which is HUGE). You are authentic and genuinely care— I can tell that this gift of yours is what you were created to do and share with others. You are well researched, use language that is accessible and approach our time together with strategy, energy and an overall desire to help in personal growth needs. I will always remember our time together as a time when I remembered that I can still dream.... still grow... still want to explore creative personal growth opportunities for myself, family and business."

— Jenny E., Elevate Private Coaching Client

"If anyone is on the fence they need to take a leap of faith"

"If anyone is on the fence they need to take a leap of faith! I’ve paid for so many programs and felt like the value wasn’t there and your offer is by far the best value of any I’ve purchased and I’ve purchased many!"

— Megan R., State of Self Member

"The lessons have really stuck with me"

"In the past I have read a lot of self help and personal development books but without a practical plan and logical steps to follow they have had little impact. State of Self gives me both - the research and thinking and the methodology to fully integrate it into my life. Amanda has clearly put so much work into State of Self and I have definitely found that the lessons have really stuck with me - I have reaffirmed my values and become much clearer about my strengths. I am now working on self nourishment and have already starting to let go of some of the guilt about rest and taking care of wellbeing. I would absolutely recommend State of Self, it is well researched and the online platform is easy to use. I love interacting with other community members and seeing their progress too."
