Speaking Of Stories

I'm Sukhi, a 2nd+ English communication coach based in Manchester, UK.

This podcast serves as a way to show that language doesn't have to be a barrier and within everyone's story, there is a chance to find a piece of your own.

Life, for me, is about connection and there is no way greater way to connect than through the art of conversation, which always starts with a question...

I work with 2nd+ English speakers in casual and professional settings to give an embodied communicative experience, merging mindfulness techniques for present & calm communication, communication skills tailored to 2nd+ English speakers, language accuracy and refinement, reflective practices, conversational depth through tailored coaching questions, and enjoyment of the process.

Speaking Of Stories - Episode 3 - Amanda Boyce

September 25, 2025 • Sukhi Bansal • Season 1 • Episode 3

Welcome to my podcast Speaking of Stories.

I'm Sukhi (he/him), a 2nd+ English communication coach, working on building on your English communication from the inside out. Merging mindfulness techniques for presence & calm, communication-focused skills for 2nd+ English speakers, conversational depth through coaching questions, mindset & reflective practices, I aim for an full and embodied communication experience to leave you ready for the real world of communication.

My fascination with people's stories, particularly relating to language and identity, is how this podcast has come to be to show that connection can be formed through being curious about people's lives and the way they weave through their days.

In episode 3, I speak to Amanda, a certified Australian English teacher and the creator of Aussie English with Amanda.

In today's episode, we talk of:

- her own language journey with Hindi,

- how reflection helped her work through her perfectionism,

- and the impact of negative comments on social media.

Since 2020, she has taught over 9,000 lessons and helped hundreds of international students and professionals feel more confident, clear, and natural when speaking Aussie English. Her specialty is accent, pronunciation and connected speech, taught with warmth, structure and real-life relevance. She does not just teach how Aussies speak. She explains why they speak that way and how learners can as well, without losing their own voice. Through her online courses, podcast and one-to-one training, Amanda has built a global reputation for helping learners move beyond textbook English into real conversations with clarity, confidence and cultural connection. Whether someone is just beginning their Aussie English journey or refining their skills for work and life, Amanda guides them every step of the way, helping them speak in a way that feels more natural and more true to themselves.

Sit back, and enjoy a part of Amanda's story.
