In this powerful episode of the She Believed She Could™ Podcast, host Allison Walsh sits down with Amanda Tress – trailblazing founder and CEO of Faster Way to Fat Loss, mom of five, and leader of one of the most successful wellness companies in the nation.

From launching her digital agency from her hospital bed to scaling a simple, focused offer into hundreds of millions in revenue, Amanda shares the faith, discipline, and strategy behind building a business that lasts. You’ll hear how she went from juggling multiple jobs in college to graduating debt-free, why she’s committed to eradicating poverty for women in wellness, and how she created a certification and digital franchise model that empowers thousands of coaches around the world.

Inside this episode, we dive into:

• The biggest mistake she sees women make once they hit $2M–$3M in revenue
• Why the most successful entrepreneurs commit to one thing for a decad
• How to balance innovation with focus using an “innovation lab” instead of 13 offers
• The hard lessons she’s learned around hiring, leadership, and fast growth
• Emotional burnout, boundaries, and leading with empathy as a female CEO
• Faster Way’s simple product suite and why simplifying created explosive growth
• Big vision for 2026, Costa Rica, and the next evolution of her brand and technology
