🎙️ Redefining Success & Building a Legacy Beyond the Grind | Dr. Lani Jones on Level Up Creators

In this episode of Level Up Creators, Amanda sits down with Dr. Lani Jones, clinical psychologist and founder of HBL Advisory Group, to unpack what it really takes to go from conventional success to building a business (and life) that leaves a lasting legacy.

Lani is the creator of The Final 1% Framework—a method she uses to help high-achieving founders rewire their relationship to ambition, design values-aligned businesses, and show up with clarity in both the boardroom and the living room.

If you’re crushing it on paper but feeling off-track in life, this episode will hit hard in the best way.

🎯 In this episode, we dig into:

✔️ Why “work-life balance” is a myth and what to pursue instead

✔️ How to design a calendar that aligns with your values, not your guilt

✔️ What it means to be the same person in your business and your home

✔️ The power of rethinking success through the lens of legacy

✔️ How to reframe imposter syndrome as a sign of growth, not weakness

✔️ Lani’s daily question that changes how you show up: Did today matter?

✔️ How to stop “should-ing” on yourself and start setting boundaries that stick

✔️ Her exact process for helping founders reset, realign, and rebuild sustainably

You’ll also hear Amanda’s take on:

– Why she’s investing $125K+ in her own development this year

– How decision fatigue is quietly ruining your best thinking

– Why household support is the power move no one talks about enough

Whether you’re feeling overextended, out of alignment, or ready to build a business that reflects your actual values—this episode will shift the way you think, operate, and lead.
