In this deeply personal and unexpected episode of And She Rises the F*ck Up*, Amanda Frances shares the wild, surreal, and ultimately miraculous story of a home invasion that took place while she was traveling. From FaceTiming with the police in the middle of the night to making a public statement while news crews camped outside her home, Amanda walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of processing a traumatic event—her way.
Despite the chaos, there’s a twist: the burglars prioritized what they thought was the most valuable item in her home… only to realize later it was prop money from a recent Money Mentality Makeover photoshoot. Talk about karma.
Through it all, Amanda reflects on what this experience has reinforced for her about trusting her instincts, using resources wisely, and knowing that in the end, she always wins.
