New City, New Client, New Chapter with Amanda Laurena

What do a drum circle, a Broadway show, a sauna rave, and a serendipitous subway adventure have in common?

They were all part of my first wild week back in New York City.

In this episode, I’m catching you up on everything. From helping a stranger navigate NYC with Google Translate to a backstage Broadway moment that left my dad speechless. From reconnecting with podcast guests turned collaborators to locking in new dream clients. This is the behind-the-scenes of building a life filled with intention, connection, and play.

I share:
✨ My exact process for choosing where to travel (hint: it’s music and magic led)
✨ How I’m balancing three major clients while staying grounded
✨ A peek into my upcoming festival partnerships and creative collabs
✨ Why this chapter of my life feels chaotic, exciting, and aligned all at once
✨ Lessons on saying yes to the nudge, leaning into community, and letting the city show you who you are

If you’re in a season of building, becoming, or simply craving inspiration, this one is for you.
