Ever wonder if you’re playing small, because you’re scared to choose more?
In this episode of Grow with Kepo, host Kepo Omotade sits down with Amanda Kaufman, founder of The Coaches’ Plaza and host of The Amanda Kaufman Show. From a chemical engineering degree to global consulting, and finally to launching a multi-seven-figure coaching business, Amanda shares the raw, messy truth behind her transformation. If you’ve ever felt misaligned in your career or scared to pivot, this is your permission slip.
She opens up about losing her father, surviving corporate burnout, navigating motherhood, and finally choosing a life that fits her purpose. This is a masterclass in owning your brilliance, even when it terrifies you.
