  • From Theater School to Solopreneur to Product Analyst: This is Amanda's Story
    Aug 6 2025

    Meet Amanda - She's a SHINE alum who felt lost in her Product career but found the courage to test out a stint as an entrepreneur, then take an unexpected (but perfect!) role once she got clear on her unique career vision. She's an absolute star and it was so fun to catch up and hear how her new job has been going.

    We talk about:

    • How she transitioned into a Mental HealthTech start up (after being a teacher and then selling cowboy boots in rural Colorado 👢🤠)
    • How working in Sales, Retail and e-Commerce was actually a perfect gateway to an Associate Product Manager role
    • What it was really like to navigate a squiggly career path and imposter syndrome
    • The real value of getting clear on her personal career vision
    • Launching her business - real talk
    • The ups and downs of her year as an entrepreneur and how it set her up for success in Product
    • The move back to a stable, salary job in HealthTech
    • How she picked between two very different job opportunities - P and Product Analyst
    • Why prioritizing community was the unlock she didn't know she needed

  • How to sound more strategic
    Jul 30 2025

    You know you need to be more strategic to grow as a Product Manager, but not sure what that actually means in practice? You don't want to miss this episode. I cover the three most common mistakes I see PM's make that hold them back:

    1. Not staying updated on market and industry trends
    2. Failing to think long-term and big-picture
    3. Lacking the ability to share big ideas with confidence

    As always, I provide actionable tips you can do TODAY to overcome these challenges.
