Description

Amanda reflects on what it really means to be an adult, how to foster trust without control, and why setting boundaries that keep kids safe doesn't mean clipping their wings. She also shares her “thrift store mindset” for navigating life that explains why letting go of rigid expectations makes room for surprise, gratitude, and a mushroom-shaped lamp you didn’t know you needed.
