talk to for a while now, followed her on Instagram
for about a thousand years now and finally connected and
reached out directly and asked her to do the podcast,
and for some reason she said yes, and I don't
think she regrets it, and I'm happy that she said yes.

room for more. We got to find out a little
bit about what she does, and she does a lot.

Well that's whenever I damn well feel like Okay, I

so I'm just gonna jump into it, Amanda. It's good
(03:07):
to talk to you. How are you doing.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'm great. How are you?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm doing good, doing good, Glad to have your conversation.
It's I've been wanting to talk to you for a while,
a long time actually, and this is good to we
finally connect.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, definitely, I know, finally the stars aligne right exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, it's meant to be. Of course, there's lots to
get into, lots to ask you, but the first thing
I want to ask you is well, basically about you.
So if people were to meet you for the first time,
which let's say I'm doing that now kind of am
describe yourself about who Amanda is and what you do.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah. Well, my main thing that I do in life
is I really am all about empowering women as well
as disadvantage artists to ultimately make the most out of
their life. I really help people with personalized care, specifically
in wellness services, beauty for women, and entrepreneurial education. I
(04:03):
do a lot of mentorship for artists and aspiring entrepreneurs,
so I volunteer quite a bit of time to help
people get their businesses up and running off the ground
so they can fulfill their own dream and purpose. And
when I'm not doing that, I'm helping people with their
wellness and beauty goals downtown kitchener out of our beauty clinics.
So yeah, and then besides that, you know, I'm a
(04:26):
mom to two beautiful girls, so it keeps me quite busy.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The busiest job.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yes, exactly, most rewarding too.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely. Did you how long have you been
doing that?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Has that been? It sounds like a lot of little
different things, but it keeps you very busy. It's a
lot of activity. Have you been doing this for a while?
Did you kind of slowly slowly graduate into these different
kinds of jobs? Like how did you start with this?
And where did it go?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it's really been like where I'm at now is
you know, definitely a combination of like all of my
past blending together beautifully while I'm just kind of figuring
out my specific niche and what I truly love to do,
and I've been really kind of honing down on that.
I'm still in my thirties, so you know, there's still
time hopefully for me too. Oh yeah, you pass that.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I passed that thirteen years ago, well about thirteen years ago.
Maybe I'm forty three, so nothing pretty cares. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm not too.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Too far behind. But I am still in my thirties.
But yeah, I know right, I'm off the calendar though,
so I hear you. So yeah, basically, you know, when
I graduated from university, I got my first dream job
working in corporate health and wellness. So that's where I
really started, like coaching people on healthy living in that
(05:47):
corporate setting for companies. So I managed a few different
programs for for Toyota and really had a ton of fun.
It was great, but you know, the hours were all
over the place, was inconsistent pay you know, I had
no say over what I was really doing or anything
like that. So I kind of longed for more of that,
(06:09):
like freedom and personal autonomy to be creative and to
really ultimately set my own hours. And I just did not, like,
you know, anybody else kind of dictating all of those
things for me. So through like all of the wellness
coaching that I was doing, there was always the one
thing that was a huge barrier for people, and it
always was healthy eating and meal prep. So, you know,
(06:30):
as much as I would give information on eating healthy
or exercising, it was always a challenge for them to
eat well because, as you know, abs are made in
the kitchen, and if you don't love to cook for
a meal prep, it's really really difficult to maintain your goals.
So then I had the idea to start a meal
prep company. So I did that for about seven years
where we did like corporate catering and individual like preps,
(06:50):
fully cooked ready to eat meals, and that was going well.
That was amazing seven years of my life. And then
of course COVID happened, so you know, with that, we
did shut it down, and I kind of transitioned to
online like doing some online mentorship and consulting and small
business specifically in entrepreneurship consulting, just to tie things over
(07:13):
until I figured out what I wanted to do. And
I did a few other odd jobs while I was
figuring out my next move, because I was like, okay,
you know, we lost all of our corpor catering contracts. We
lost like all of our main clients as well, because
now they're all working from home, right and this is
after a couple of years. Still it was extended to
so they weren't with the budget constraints and whatnot. They
(07:34):
weren't really needing the service the way that they had
relied on it in the past. So you know, I
just said, well, if I got to start over, I
don't want to do food. There's way better business ideas,
So I'm just going to figure out what i want
to do next. And then eventually I got into body
contouring and like lymphatic drainage and face sculpting. It's like
a non trans it's a non evasive, transformative health and
wellness beauty business that helps people swim out, help sculpt
(07:57):
their face. I do like scar and stretch mark removal
and whatnot. So yeah, and then the mentorship stuff is
through the City of Kitchener, which I've been doing now
for the past few years. And then I branched into
a more specific niche helping artists monetize their art. So
I have been doing the entrepreneurship, you know, mentorship, but
(08:21):
now I've just kind of branched off into helping artists
have sustainable careers. Like well known musicians that you know,
they're not the next say Beyonce or Taylor Swift, but
they're really good. They're really well known, but they're lacking
like the income that they need to keep going because
at the end of the day, you know, if you
don't have the income for your art work, you can't
really keep going. You'll end up, you know, taking a
(08:43):
job that maybe you don't want to do, and then
your creativity suffers, right and eventually they So yeah, so
that's the avenue that I'm working in specifically right now,
with the entrepreneurship mentorship and all that. So yeah, it's
kind of all just you know, come together really from
all that past experience.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
There's a lot there for sure, And I wanted to
you touched on it too with the food prep and stuff,
and I wanted to ask We talked about this offline
as well too. But I've noticed that change. Of course,
as I said, I followed you for a long time,
which is something you can only say when you're talking
about social media, but it's it's your Your Instagram specifically
is where I've connected with you, and that's where I've
(09:20):
noticed the change. Right you were doing a lot of
food prep, a lot of things about your food catering business,
a lot of meal prep stuff, and then that changed
to a lot of what you're doing now with the
again touched on that with the Art Collective and the
book and everything in the body sculpting stuff like that.
So when did that exactly change for you when you
focus more on the art collective and the body sculpting,
(09:40):
the book and everything versus just doing the food prep.
Did that all change recently or just when the business
shut down you stop showing those videos? Like when when
did that happen? And was that like a hard transition
for you or did you just feel like this was
a natural way to rebrand yourself type of thing.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It was like a difficult but yet a natural transition,
And it all kind of happened around year and a
half I went through a split, and you know, yeah,
so there were a lot of different changes in the
place where I'm in right now. It's not really that
conducive to doing like the really nice like meal prep
videos that I have. I just find I can never
get my camera set up properly.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They were awesome too, by the way, too, I love them.
They were awesome. You had you, you had the kids there,
It was great. There was a lot of good food.
I was always hungry every time I saw your stuff,
not lying, and it's just yeah, it was amazing, not
that what you're doing now is not amazing, but that
was cool too.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I'm going to get back to it as well.
It's just that, you know, because I still love to cook,
and I still love to teach people how to cook
and all of that and share the recipes and whatnot too.
So it's just about, you know, the space really is
not as like conducive, right, right, because I'm not a director,
so I just shoot my own videos and I just
(10:49):
you know, do the best with what I have to
work with, right, So I'm not a pro. That's like, oh,
if you put at this angle, it's going to look great.
And I don't have any fancy equipment. So but I
promise more cook videos are coming.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's good. That's good to see. And no, I guess
you get better as time goes on, right, the more
you do, like I just you added music, you had
different little things, you had all the little bells and
whistles for the videos too, like so as I figured,
as you did them more and as time went on,
as you did more videos, you got more comfortable doing that,
either being in front of it or you know, showing
off what you're doing. I figured that would just come naturally.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, No, that's good.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's good to see. So let's talk about you mentioned
as well too. The it's called the Empower Empower Art
Collective that's in Toronto, I believe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Right, yes, yes, so kitchen Er in Toronto, back and
forth there. So, and that's really about teaching entrepreneurial skills
in the online format. For uh, like, aspiring artists and
artists are essentially anybody that's a creative So even a
lot of entrepreneurs right are considered artists. So but now
(11:52):
when I put it under artists, you know, it really
is something that now fits under the category of arts
and culture. And then you know, there's a lot of
government support and grants and things like that available for
me to create more opportunities for people. But basically what
I've done now is we pre recorded six a six
week course that's going to be available online that anybody
(12:15):
can access from anywhere in the world, and then they'll
learn the specific foundations to get an art business monetized,
like how to properly register it as a business, how
to explore different ways of monetizing, different streams of monetizing,
how to you know, define your niche and then like
the practicalities of setting it up as a registered business
(12:36):
because a lot of artists are very creative, but when
it comes to getting things done or getting you know,
having that structure and whatnot that you need to treat
it as a serious business is where they really lack right, right,
So a lot of people are either very artistic or
they're like very much like know how to get stuff done,
and I'm a little bit of both. I can bounce back.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was going to say, you can do both, it
can be both. You're like a agilible trades there. When
it comes to that, oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Primarily I would say I'm best at getting things done
and seeing the execution through. So I do help a
lot of people that you know they have certain ideas,
and my real real kink is like, tell me your
idea and let's make it a reality, because I absolutely
love to see something that is just in your head
as an idea, as a fantasy, as you know, a
(13:26):
far out dream. I love watching that manifest into your
reality a money making machine that helps you support your
family or yourself, or maybe it's you know, just something
that helps keep your mortgage. Right now at this point
because you're generating like an extra two thousand dollars a
month off of like you know, doing in person whatever.
(13:49):
Maybe you're you know, grooming people's dogs house to house,
or maybe you're have a low key printing business, or
you're selling coffee on the weekends, you know, whatever it is. Right, So,
there's a lot of ways that people can make a
lot more money through entrepreneurship. Then you get a lot
more tax deductions and things like that that help you
at the end of the year. And yeah, there's just
(14:09):
so many benefits that I really am all about just
encouraging people to kind of pursue their own path and
their own like passion in some capacity, whether that's you know,
have a full time job and do it as a
side hustle, you know, whatever works, right. I just love
to help people find ways to make that a reality
for them.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And you're part of a team that helps people. Because
I would imagine that with your with your business being
out there are a lot of people would come to you
with their with their goals or their dreams and such,
and there's a lot to manage, right, I imagine it'd
be a lot for just yourself to manage. You'd have
to either turn people away or reassess their priorities or
reassess yours. How do you kind of manage everybody as
(14:46):
far as keeping track of that and kind of keeping
focus on people's goals when they come to you, Like,
how do you kind of manage that for it, Like
let's say day to day.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well, a lot of the entrepreneurs go through the
City of Kitchener. There's cific programs that they'll go through
and there's a whole team of mentors available for support.
Now my empower Are Collective, there's just uh two main
people right now that are running that and the empower
Are Collective is actually pretty new, like within the last
year and only really like getting the ball going the
(15:17):
last few months where you know, I've done a couple
of things now, I got the mentorship course recorded, I
did a charity concert and then we had a art
down in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Awesome. Yeah, I saw the clips of that. That was
amazing too, very cool.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, it was my first
time ever you know, overseeing things.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Didn't look like it at all. Wow, look like you
did that every year. I didn't know it was that
new or that or that was your first time, so
you sold it. Well that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh really, thank you so much. It's great to have
that feedback because you know, as entrepreneurs, like, we don't
really nobody really collapse for you, right, Nobody really gives
you a lot of feedback. So you have to be
able to self validate.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, ady, figure validate.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Wow, Wow, had to believe. Although maybe I can kind
of understand that there's a lot of people get lost
in their own thing. They're like, they're there for your help,
and then once they get where they need to go,
they kind of move on their journey, right, and it's time.
It's nice when someone comes back, even if they haven't
been someone you've helped and they just say you, no,
I've noticed what you've done. I've seen what you're doing
to help people. I've seen how you've grown yourself. I
mean that's great. I mean it's I'm sure it's nice
(16:18):
to hear that, and hopefully you do get that at
some other levels too.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah. Well, I mean, you know here and there, but
I don't look. I don't do it to really look
for ratings from people. Right at the end of the day,
you know, My reward really is like when I see
people thrive, and a lot of times that's honestly a
thankless job. A lot of times I do a lot
of stuff for people, make a lot of calls, bust
my butt to pull off stuff for them, and they
have no idea what I've even done because I didn't
(16:43):
even mention it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, as long as they're appreciative, but as long as
they at least, you know, realize what you've done, like
you said, hopefully, that's that's the main thing, right, because
and they can give back to hopefully whatever you've shown them,
they can give back to someone else too.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah. Sometimes yes, and a lot of times no, quite Frankly,
it's really amazing, like how quickly people forget. And also
you know how much people will minimize what you've done
and things like that. It's truly shocking. Sometimes it's like
the more you give to people, the more they start
to hate you. But at the end of the day,
it's like I say, you know, I don't do this
(17:19):
for you know, ratings. I don't do it for those
kinds of things. I'm not looking for thanks and rewards
for people because I already know the human nature well
enough to know that, like, my rewards are probably not
going to come from you know, a man, especially now
at this point in time where people are with their
mindset and everything like. So I just give because I
have an abundance to give. I have so much knowledge
(17:40):
and so much experience, I have so much drive, I
have so much love in my heart. I just am
an abundance overflowing cup. So I give, give, give, because
I'm constantly renewing myself, putting work into myself daily, like
praise and worship. You know, I have very strong meditation
morning routine. I'm always part into myself as well, so
(18:01):
then I can pour into other people. So I do
it out of an abundance and out of honesty, just
wanting to have as much impact and do as much
good within my lifetime that I have that I possibly can.
And you know, I like to work really hard. I'm
a highly motivated person. I grew up, you know, not
very wealthy and no resources. Grew up on a little
island out of Newfoundland. So you know, there's a lot
(18:23):
of people that I'd love to really help out and
give back as much as possible. But now I just
try to keep a balance, like it sounds like a lot,
but realistically it's not. I have quite a bit of
free time in my hands.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It doesn't seem like it at all. So I don't
I don't know. I want to say, actually, I don't
believe you based on the start of this conversation when
you ran down all the things you do, and I
assume that's all in one day plus taking care of kids, right,
which is a major So I don't believe you. But hey,
if you say you do, that's good to hear.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, well, I would say my body, counting clients,
I usually work about say, twenty hours a week there
with that beauty business and the empower are collective is
somewhere between like ten to fifteen hours a week, and
that's usually like at home, you know, at my own convenience.
You know, a lot of work is done through my
cell phone, so it's not stressful and it's not like
(19:15):
we're you know, I'm going balls to the walls or anything,
twenty four seven a day. Now, when I was running
my meal prep my food business, that was like one
hundred hour work week. That was way too much because
food is very physical labor, right, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So, But it is Yeah, you're saying you're on your
feet all day. You're doing this. You're always on the move,
You're always always doing something, and it is physical because
you're moving around lifting things, like little things that people
don't even realize you're doing because it's like work, it's
actual labor. You're laboring. It's labor of love maybe, but
you're actually laboring.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's right. And you know, with food especially, I was
doing healthy fully cooked food, a lot of prep. You've
got a prep you've got to then you've got to serve,
and then you've got to do all the cleaning, delivery,
and then there's all the like regular business stuff. So
one of the most intensive businesses to be in.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, I can just imagine, so I can I'm correct
me if I'm wrong, but I can imagine that the
most people that come to you looking for help or
guidance or assistance, most people want to do what you did,
which was leave your you know job where you work
for someone else's dream basically work for other companies and
became autonomous and worked for yourself. A lot of people
have that dream and that goal, millions and millions, myself included. Obviously,
(20:27):
that must be something like I said, people come to
you a lot for how do you help them manage that?
You know, so it's realistic but also achievable. And have
you ever had a I'm sure it's happened too. You've
had to maybe not turn them away, but kind of
re align their dream so to speak. You know what
I mean, how do you kind of work with that?
How do how does that work?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah? Well, typically, like when somebody comes to me, you know,
like oftentimes, how I see it happen more often than not,
is it's somebody that's seen me around a couple of
times and I have somehow established enough credibility in their
mindset that they want to take it a step farther
and ask me for coffee or you know, a phone
call or something like that, just to discuss their goals
(21:08):
and what they want to do. Right so and then
from there, like I'll just kind of like ask them,
you know, what are their goals, what are they trying
to do? Where are they at now, what are the
biggest limitations that are facing them or holding them back?
And a lot of times it's always just lies that
people tell themselves, completely lies. Like the majority of people
can do absolutely anything that they want to do. If
(21:31):
I can do it, I know everybody else can do it.
But the majority of people are literally lying to themselves
telling them they can't. They don't have the money, they
don't have the time. You know, it's not secure enough now,
it's not the right time. Like there's so many lies
we tell ourselves to literally talk ourselves out of it.
But I always say, you know, like if you have
a dream and it's been a desire for a long time,
(21:51):
that is literally your calling. You can't just ignore that.
It will always chase you and haunt you, right, So
you have to do that in some kind of capacity.
Otherwise you're actually doing a disservice to yourself and your
own personal life. What if instead of thinking of all
the things that can go wrong, you actually just really
focus on where you want to be and even though
you don't have the steps every single step of the way,
you don't have majority of the tends. When I start something,
(22:14):
I have absolutely no clue how I'm getting to the
finish line. Like when I have a brand new artist
that comes on board and they're like, yeah, you know,
these are my goals this year, I have absolutely no
clue what to do with them in the beginning. But
I just step one babyfoot, like one baby step in
front of the other day by day, and it always
comes to me. It always aligns right, and then it's
like magic happens and then people are like, whoa next thing?
(22:36):
You know when artist has you know, like I just
got an artist that got landed a BBC a deal
with his music for a brand new sitcom in the UK,
Like that's huge. Like when I started with that artist,
he was barely even an artist, right, Or like I
had an artist ask me like, oh, can you support
me for like two weeks while I'm in Canada? Sure,
no problem. Well I got them on the Caravana parade, right.
(22:58):
I had no idea I was going to do that
and how I was going to do it. But I
had one thing and that was just fath you know,
faith that I can make that happen somehow or another.
We can figure it out. So that's the number one thing.
So it's like whatever limitations you think that you have,
they don't exist, Like they only exist if you actually
allow them to exist, and then you actually create them.
(23:18):
Because like all I see is opportunity. When people comes
to me, like I just see opportunity. I don't see
the fear and stuff like that. But the number one
thing is fear. Right, people believe that they can't do it.
And if you believe you can't do it, then you're
going to manifest that you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Then you can't do it. Yeah, you've already given up,
you've already lost basically, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's right. But me, I have like delusional faith where
literally like I'm one of the most delusional people you meet,
because if you tell me you have a wild dream,
I'm like, yep, we can figure that out. You know,
here's how or who do we need to talk to?
And I'll start breaking down the steps like how do
we actually what do we need to do? Who do
we need to talk to? What do you need to manifest?
And when people actually start focusing on something that they want,
(24:00):
it's like shit just starts falling from the sky when
you really put your mind to it, And that's manifestation.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, Yeah, exactly, No, that's amazing. There's a couple of
quotes that I've actually seen a lot written on your
profile lot that I wanted to ask you about what
they mean. One of them, while they're both very fascinating.
But this one here where it says I might not
butcher it here, I don't have it right in front
of me. But politics and religion don't have a place
in business. But God always should have a seat at
(24:26):
the table. That's very cool, and that's very powerful and
actually means something very specific. And I think I understand
what that means. But for those who may not, can
you kind of describe what that means to you?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, definitely, Well, I think you know, I remember a
time like where God was a part of everything. You know,
we would pray before we eat, you pray before you
go to bed, you pray for any big decisions like
that was a norm. Right now, the society that we
live in has drifted so far from that. And when
I look back, you can literally see how we've we've
shifted away from that. And then I can also simultaneously
(24:58):
see as we've shifted away from I'm having that faith
and having that you know, belief in a higher power,
divine power, like society has gone completely downhill, just completely
only focus on themselves, right so, and then when it
comes to like business and work, part of that programming
to shift us away from that, you know, is really
just there's a programming and a messaging that when I
(25:20):
look back, it's all about you know, God has no
place in business. Don't talk about God and business or work.
And so now I'm just kind of taking a stance
where I'm like, religion and God are two completely different things. Like,
you know, religion is something that actually divides you. Like
so whether you're a Christian or you're Muslim or Buddhist
or whatever, like you're mad at each other. Like so
(25:41):
that tells me religion is fake because how can we
all have like completely different rituals and completely different beliefs
and be willing to go to war with each other
over that? And like, to me personally, religion is completely fake.
But we're all praying to something higher, We're all hoping
in a higher power. We all have a sense that
there's something higher, right, and it used to be God.
That always was God, and tell maybe the last ten years.
(26:04):
So you know, at the end of the day, like
as I've noticed in myself, as I've strayed and drifted
and I've you know, wrestled with my faith, I've wrestled
with you know, my beliefs and things like that, the
more that I've become faithful, the more it manifest into
my life, and the more that I've become prayerful, the
more I see the fruits of that prayer. So that's
(26:26):
why I just made a very powerful statement just saying,
like gos has, he deserves a seat at every table,
because every time I keep God included into something that
I'm doing, it goes way better than when I just
try to do it myself, and it goes way better
because He is all knowing. He knows everything, and he
knows things that we can't see. Right. He knows what's
in my heart, he knows what's in your heart. And
(26:47):
like right now, with a lot of different you know,
I work with a lot of different people of different
ethnic backgrounds. They have all, you know, skin colors, different
parts of the world, they have all kinds of reasons
in the world not to trust me, but for some reason,
and every single person that comes to me, they give
me their complete trust, like they just completely are willing
to put their life into my hands. Right, And that
(27:10):
to me is like, you know, a sensing of somebody
being like a good and godly person. Right, people instinctively
kind of know that whereas like a lot of times,
these are people that have come from prison trying to
get back on their feet. They have been burned and
betrayed so many times, and then they're just willing to
completely you know, give up their bank account information and
(27:30):
all this stuff to me, right, So it's truly remarkable.
So the more that I just keep God at the
front and foremost of everything that I do, the proof
is really in the pudding, right. So I just like
to share that as my own personal testimony to not
forget about God. You know, like the more you have
the most part of everything, the more powerful it is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's definitely powerful. And this what else I've noticed is
powerful too, is this statement here, which is it's kind
of funny, but I also love it. It's very true,
especially for you and what you're doing. It's if it
doesn't contribute to creating art all, consider it's an inconvenience,
which I think is it's not meant to be Maybe
it's not meant to be funny. It's funny because it's catchy,
it's clever. I think that's why I like it. But
I think that's a great bold statement for what you're
(28:10):
doing as far as the you know, the arts and
everything that you're doing artistically and for how you're helping
other people artistically as well too.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, art is really really important, extremely important. You know,
they say the two most relevant people in the world
are people who create something. Whether you're creating a podcast
like you've done it, you're creating a book, or you're
creating a business, or you're creating content. You know, people
that create, and then people that sell. So you know,
people who can sell and actually have a talent of
being able to convince people to literally open their wallet
(28:39):
and make a purchase for a service or a product's
extremely talented, right, So the people that can close those
sales are always the king. So yeah, art is extremely
extremely important, And like right now, I'm really pushing it
because art is so healing, and we've been through so
much in the last few years that people need to
find art to express themselves, to heal themselves, to feel
(29:02):
connected to other people, right. So, so that's why I
really want to encourage people to become an artist of
some sort and express themselves in that way. And this
year is really all about collaboration because I've noticed as well,
like in the past, people are very competitive since COVID.
There's been a lot of divisions since the pandemic, a
lot of division people. Yeah, right, little bit, yeah, yeah,
(29:28):
So the divisive energy, devisive spirits are extremely I don't
all time hime more than ever. Nobody trust anybody, you know.
Everybody kind of got into this mindset that like your
own family might kill you by breathing on you.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Right, the paranoia sets and everybody's out for your you know,
to get you. They and focus on themselves and if
you're if you're in a way you're an inconvenience type
of thing. So everyone's just paranoid and everybody's just you know, mistrusting,
And it doesn't help with the things we're hearing in
the news and the things that come you know to
us twenty four to seven. There's as just our phones
are constantly on a lot of us realiz on that
for our business, as you've mentioned in myself too. So
(30:02):
I mean it's hard to you can't really avoid that
unless you put your head in the sandity even then,
you know what could be in the ground that could
get you too. There's no there's no getting away from it, sadly.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No activity. It's extreme negativity right now. So now it's
really important to have that outlet for the art, and
it's extremely important to have that faith and remember like
the key things that we were learned, you like taught,
right is just do good onto others, looko for people,
you know, like show up, support what the commers you are? Yeah,
that's right, you know. And the more we focus on
(30:33):
like community and collaborating again instead of like me for
myself and you for yourself, right, Like, the more we
do kind of get outside of that and give, the
more it comes back to us. It's literally a circle
because I am you know, very vocal about how often
people are very much you know, approaching everything from the
(30:54):
mindset of I show up to take me, me me,
what can I get? And honestly, that's why people don't
get anywhere. Like when I show up anywhere, the last
thing on my mind is what do I get here?
What do I get out of it? Because, like I said,
my mindset, there's such a difference between like an abundance
mindset and a scarcity mindset. And I'm fully like abundance mindset,
(31:14):
Like I believe thoroughly this world is beyond abundant and
that we have access to every single thing that we need.
And when you truly believe in God and you've seen
the goodness of God in your life and you believe
that you're a child of God, you know, automatically you
have access to the divine Kingdom of abundance. Anything that
you ask for, as long as it's aligned with God's will,
(31:35):
and it's aligned with like that will for your life,
it literally will just manifest easily, whether it's like a
new car, or if you need a new home, or
you know you need like a mentor to like get
your business to the next level, Like I needed a
new mentor from my art business, and then boom I
God invited to this epic event by RBC and then
(31:56):
boom I landed like the CEO of Billboard Canada UK
as a mentor. So like to me, that's divine alignment.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Right, Yeah, no, absolutely, There's so much I could dig
into you with that, with everything we talked about too,
but unfortunately Zoom does run out of time. So before
I lose you here, I do want to ask you
a couple of things specifically about your book, Body Bliss,
A Journey of body accepted journey to body acceptance, sorry,
easy for me to say. Now, you contributed some writing
(32:26):
to that, right, there was a bunch of different authors,
if I have that correct, and you contributed to that
or how to tell me about that book and basically
how it came together.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, so that's a collaborative book of fifteen women. So
fifteen women that really struggled with body acceptance, eating disorders,
you know, have stuff for abuse in the past, and
just sharing like how they've kind of overcome like all
of the pressure and stress that's on women like to
look a certain way and have a certain body image.
So at a time when body positivity was really high,
(32:56):
I think this was about probably five years ago. Yeah, positive,
we did that and yeah it was great. It really
helped a lot of women. Just hearing other women's stories
was very healing for that.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Well that was five years ago. I thought that was
recent because I've just seen recent well I guess it's
been popped up again or I've seen it, but I
thought that was I thought that was more recent. Wow,
five years already.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Body bliss, you know what, My time could be off
maybe three to four years somewhere around.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
There, but it's not within the last year. It didn't
just happen then, but it's something else, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
A few years ago. Yeah, and that was a really
popular book. It actually passed The Secret on Amazon, so
it was a bestseller book. And then from there I
just basically have sold it in a few little cafes
and shops and then just at my own store as well.
But yeah, I'd like to do a little bit more writing.
That'd be great, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
That was my next question was if you're going to
write one fully, like maybe yourself just pen your own
book or something, anything basically even a cookbook. Have you
thought about putting your pen to paper for yourself.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yes, absolutely, Meal prep cookbook is one thing that has
been on my mind to do, and I did did
just create another ebook. It's called The Art of Networking,
which is just teaches people like top ten tips for networking.
It's just a very simple, straight to the point kind
of book, no fluff, no personal stories, nothing, just like
slim magazine. So that's available as an ebook, and then
(34:17):
I want to just kind of create some of those
like short resources that are available for print and ebook.
And yeah, definitely a cookbook is on my immediate list.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's good, that's good. Yeah, you definitely should. Going back
to body Bliss for a second though, did you were
you contacted, like, how do they connect with you to
find you to get your story in there that we
did you know somebody who was creating the book or
did someone recommend you? How did that? How did you
get in contact with them?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah? Well, I've been known in this area for quite
some time. You know, I'm quite a bold person. People
know me for you know, I'm going to say what
I'm going to say. I've known for advocacy, showing up
to rallies and things like that. So I am somebody
that like people are aware of to be, you know,
out out there fighting for social justice. So somebody contacted
(35:05):
me because she had an idea to do that. And Yeah,
basically I think they wrote three books. I just joined
it on the one series, the first series, and then
I think they went on to create two more.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, that's good. Yeah, no, it's good. So you're part
of the first one. Then, yes, can people? Can people
still buy the book? Is it still on Amazon?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
It is? Yeah, it's still on Amazon, just under body Bliss.
And then if you search either of our author's names,
my author name on that one is Amanda Case, not
Amanda Catherine, but yeah, you'll be able to find us there.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
No, that's good to hear. Good to hear. So with
the time I have before I have to let you go,
tell me about where people can connect with you if
they want to be a part of the art collective,
if they want to come to you with the ideas,
if they need body sculpting, if they need cooking tips,
if they just want to have you on the podcast.
Where can people find Amanda Catherine.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, Amanda Catherine c on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. And
then the empower Are Collective is Empower Art Collective or www.
Dot empower Art Collective dot com. For mentorship program, it
is a nonprofit organization, so I do offer you know,
selective volunteering for free mentorship, and then we are going
(36:16):
to have like a certain number of scholarships and then
we're looking into getting grants as well. For anybody that
wants like a six week mentorship course.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
That's awesome. That's awesome. People to come check you out
on Instagram and connect with you like I did, and
learn about Amanda and learn about what she does. And
just if you don't want to partake you at least
watch and see all she does. It's amazing. That'll make
your head spend. There's a lot going on. But as
she says, she's bored, she's got nothing. I'll take it
from you, not bored, just a lot of time on
(36:44):
your hands.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I got time on my hands. I got time for
you guys.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's good to hear. The last thing I'll ask you then,
I haven't usually I do this on the podcast a lot.
I haven't done in a while, but I'll ask it
to you because it's I think I'm going to get
an interesting answer. But give me growing up on an island,
and I think you said new yeah, yeah, tell me
about one of your earliest childhood memories that you have
that you want to share.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Oh gosh, earliest childhood memory. H oh, I remember having
a big beach fire right down on the beach, like
you have. Beach fires is very common, so the whole
family will come. They'll you know, like.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
A bonfire, Okayichan, there's actual fire on the beach.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
But oh well, we will actually light a fire on
the beach and like sit around.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
It, okay, like a bonfire type of thing, or like
a campfire. Okay, I thought it was actual, like a
like a disaster, like a beach fire happened or something.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Bit and positive, and then we would just you know,
sit on our logs and just hang out. So yeah,
those are one of my earliest and fondest memories of
growing up on the rock.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
That's amazing. Do you get to go back there very often?
Do you still have family there?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I still have family there, and then I last time
I was there was in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Okay, just right during right before COVID or right during it,
then depend on when you went.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, exactly what it's been calling me again. So I
want to headle that way again soon. So it's been
five years now already, but I usually try to go
everyone to two years.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
That's good. Well, hopefully get back out there and enjoy
the time and take a break from everything that you do,
and you know, just spend some time reconnecting with the uh,
with the with life and the beauty of life out

I'm doing good, doing good, Glad to have your conversation.
It's I've been wanting to talk to you for a while,
a long time actually, and this is good to we
finally connect.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, definitely, I know, finally the stars aligne right exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, it's meant to be. Of course, there's lots to
get into, lots to ask you, but the first thing
I want to ask you is well, basically about you.
So if people were to meet you for the first time,
which let's say I'm doing that now kind of am
describe yourself about who Amanda is and what you do.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah. Well, my main thing that I do in life
is I really am all about empowering women as well
as disadvantage artists to ultimately make the most out of
their life. I really help people with personalized care, specifically
in wellness services, beauty for women, and entrepreneurial education. I
(04:03):
do a lot of mentorship for artists and aspiring entrepreneurs,
so I volunteer quite a bit of time to help
people get their businesses up and running off the ground
so they can fulfill their own dream and purpose. And
when I'm not doing that, I'm helping people with their
wellness and beauty goals downtown kitchener out of our beauty clinics.
So yeah, and then besides that, you know, I'm a
(04:26):
mom to two beautiful girls, so it keeps me quite busy.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The busiest job.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yes, exactly, most rewarding too.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely. Did you how long have you been
doing that?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Has that been? It sounds like a lot of little
different things, but it keeps you very busy. It's a
lot of activity. Have you been doing this for a while?
Did you kind of slowly slowly graduate into these different
kinds of jobs? Like how did you start with this?
And where did it go?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it's really been like where I'm at now is
you know, definitely a combination of like all of my
past blending together beautifully while I'm just kind of figuring
out my specific niche and what I truly love to do,
and I've been really kind of honing down on that.
I'm still in my thirties, so you know, there's still
time hopefully for me too. Oh yeah, you pass that.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I passed that thirteen years ago, well about thirteen years ago.
Maybe I'm forty three, so nothing pretty cares. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm not too.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Too far behind. But I am still in my thirties.
But yeah, I know right, I'm off the calendar though,
so I hear you. So yeah, basically, you know, when
I graduated from university, I got my first dream job
working in corporate health and wellness. So that's where I
really started, like coaching people on healthy living in that
(05:47):
corporate setting for companies. So I managed a few different
programs for for Toyota and really had a ton of fun.
It was great, but you know, the hours were all
over the place, was inconsistent pay you know, I had
no say over what I was really doing or anything
like that. So I kind of longed for more of that,
(06:09):
like freedom and personal autonomy to be creative and to
really ultimately set my own hours. And I just did not, like,
you know, anybody else kind of dictating all of those
things for me. So through like all of the wellness
coaching that I was doing, there was always the one
thing that was a huge barrier for people, and it
always was healthy eating and meal prep. So, you know,
(06:30):
as much as I would give information on eating healthy
or exercising, it was always a challenge for them to
eat well because, as you know, abs are made in
the kitchen, and if you don't love to cook for
a meal prep, it's really really difficult to maintain your goals.
So then I had the idea to start a meal
prep company. So I did that for about seven years
where we did like corporate catering and individual like preps,
(06:50):
fully cooked ready to eat meals, and that was going well.
That was amazing seven years of my life. And then
of course COVID happened, so you know, with that, we
did shut it down, and I kind of transitioned to
online like doing some online mentorship and consulting and small
business specifically in entrepreneurship consulting, just to tie things over
(07:13):
until I figured out what I wanted to do. And
I did a few other odd jobs while I was
figuring out my next move, because I was like, okay,
you know, we lost all of our corpor catering contracts. We
lost like all of our main clients as well, because
now they're all working from home, right and this is
after a couple of years. Still it was extended to
so they weren't with the budget constraints and whatnot. They
(07:34):
weren't really needing the service the way that they had
relied on it in the past. So you know, I
just said, well, if I got to start over, I
don't want to do food. There's way better business ideas,
So I'm just going to figure out what i want
to do next. And then eventually I got into body
contouring and like lymphatic drainage and face sculpting. It's like
a non trans it's a non evasive, transformative health and
wellness beauty business that helps people swim out, help sculpt
(07:57):
their face. I do like scar and stretch mark removal
and whatnot. So yeah, and then the mentorship stuff is
through the City of Kitchener, which I've been doing now
for the past few years. And then I branched into
a more specific niche helping artists monetize their art. So
I have been doing the entrepreneurship, you know, mentorship, but
(08:21):
now I've just kind of branched off into helping artists
have sustainable careers. Like well known musicians that you know,
they're not the next say Beyonce or Taylor Swift, but
they're really good. They're really well known, but they're lacking
like the income that they need to keep going because
at the end of the day, you know, if you
don't have the income for your art work, you can't
really keep going. You'll end up, you know, taking a
(08:43):
job that maybe you don't want to do, and then
your creativity suffers, right and eventually they So yeah, so
that's the avenue that I'm working in specifically right now,
with the entrepreneurship mentorship and all that. So yeah, it's
kind of all just you know, come together really from
all that past experience.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
There's a lot there for sure, And I wanted to
you touched on it too with the food prep and stuff,
and I wanted to ask We talked about this offline
as well too. But I've noticed that change. Of course,
as I said, I followed you for a long time,
which is something you can only say when you're talking
about social media, but it's it's your Your Instagram specifically
is where I've connected with you, and that's where I've
(09:20):
noticed the change. Right you were doing a lot of
food prep, a lot of things about your food catering business,
a lot of meal prep stuff, and then that changed
to a lot of what you're doing now with the
again touched on that with the Art Collective and the
book and everything in the body sculpting stuff like that.
So when did that exactly change for you when you
focus more on the art collective and the body sculpting,
(09:40):
the book and everything versus just doing the food prep.
Did that all change recently or just when the business
shut down you stop showing those videos? Like when when
did that happen? And was that like a hard transition
for you or did you just feel like this was
a natural way to rebrand yourself type of thing.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It was like a difficult but yet a natural transition,
And it all kind of happened around year and a
half I went through a split, and you know, yeah,
so there were a lot of different changes in the
place where I'm in right now. It's not really that
conducive to doing like the really nice like meal prep
videos that I have. I just find I can never
get my camera set up properly.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They were awesome too, by the way, too, I love them.
They were awesome. You had you, you had the kids there,
It was great. There was a lot of good food.
I was always hungry every time I saw your stuff,
not lying, and it's just yeah, it was amazing, not
that what you're doing now is not amazing, but that
was cool too.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I'm going to get back to it as well.
It's just that, you know, because I still love to cook,
and I still love to teach people how to cook
and all of that and share the recipes and whatnot too.
So it's just about, you know, the space really is
not as like conducive, right, right, because I'm not a director,
so I just shoot my own videos and I just
(10:49):
you know, do the best with what I have to
work with, right, So I'm not a pro. That's like, oh,
if you put at this angle, it's going to look great.
And I don't have any fancy equipment. So but I
promise more cook videos are coming.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's good. That's good to see. And no, I guess
you get better as time goes on, right, the more
you do, like I just you added music, you had
different little things, you had all the little bells and
whistles for the videos too, like so as I figured,
as you did them more and as time went on,
as you did more videos, you got more comfortable doing that,
either being in front of it or you know, showing
off what you're doing. I figured that would just come naturally.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, No, that's good.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's good to see. So let's talk about you mentioned
as well too. The it's called the Empower Empower Art
Collective that's in Toronto, I believe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Right, yes, yes, so kitchen Er in Toronto, back and
forth there. So, and that's really about teaching entrepreneurial skills
in the online format. For uh, like, aspiring artists and
artists are essentially anybody that's a creative So even a
lot of entrepreneurs right are considered artists. So but now
(11:52):
when I put it under artists, you know, it really
is something that now fits under the category of arts
and culture. And then you know, there's a lot of
government support and grants and things like that available for
me to create more opportunities for people. But basically what
I've done now is we pre recorded six a six
week course that's going to be available online that anybody
(12:15):
can access from anywhere in the world, and then they'll
learn the specific foundations to get an art business monetized,
like how to properly register it as a business, how
to explore different ways of monetizing, different streams of monetizing,
how to you know, define your niche and then like
the practicalities of setting it up as a registered business
(12:36):
because a lot of artists are very creative, but when
it comes to getting things done or getting you know,
having that structure and whatnot that you need to treat
it as a serious business is where they really lack right, right,
So a lot of people are either very artistic or
they're like very much like know how to get stuff done,
and I'm a little bit of both. I can bounce back.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was going to say, you can do both, it
can be both. You're like a agilible trades there. When
it comes to that, oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Primarily I would say I'm best at getting things done
and seeing the execution through. So I do help a
lot of people that you know they have certain ideas,
and my real real kink is like, tell me your
idea and let's make it a reality, because I absolutely
love to see something that is just in your head
as an idea, as a fantasy, as you know, a
(13:26):
far out dream. I love watching that manifest into your
reality a money making machine that helps you support your
family or yourself, or maybe it's you know, just something
that helps keep your mortgage. Right now at this point
because you're generating like an extra two thousand dollars a
month off of like you know, doing in person whatever.
(13:49):
Maybe you're you know, grooming people's dogs house to house,
or maybe you're have a low key printing business, or
you're selling coffee on the weekends, you know, whatever it is. Right, So,
there's a lot of ways that people can make a
lot more money through entrepreneurship. Then you get a lot
more tax deductions and things like that that help you
at the end of the year. And yeah, there's just
(14:09):
so many benefits that I really am all about just
encouraging people to kind of pursue their own path and
their own like passion in some capacity, whether that's you know,
have a full time job and do it as a
side hustle, you know, whatever works, right. I just love
to help people find ways to make that a reality
for them.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And you're part of a team that helps people. Because
I would imagine that with your with your business being
out there are a lot of people would come to you
with their with their goals or their dreams and such,
and there's a lot to manage, right, I imagine it'd
be a lot for just yourself to manage. You'd have
to either turn people away or reassess their priorities or
reassess yours. How do you kind of manage everybody as
(14:46):
far as keeping track of that and kind of keeping
focus on people's goals when they come to you, Like,
how do you kind of manage that for it, Like
let's say day to day.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well, a lot of the entrepreneurs go through the
City of Kitchener. There's cific programs that they'll go through
and there's a whole team of mentors available for support.
Now my empower Are Collective, there's just uh two main
people right now that are running that and the empower
Are Collective is actually pretty new, like within the last
year and only really like getting the ball going the
(15:17):
last few months where you know, I've done a couple
of things now, I got the mentorship course recorded, I
did a charity concert and then we had a art
down in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Awesome. Yeah, I saw the clips of that. That was
amazing too, very cool.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, it was my first
time ever you know, overseeing things.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Didn't look like it at all. Wow, look like you
did that every year. I didn't know it was that
new or that or that was your first time, so
you sold it. Well that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh really, thank you so much. It's great to have
that feedback because you know, as entrepreneurs, like, we don't
really nobody really collapse for you, right, Nobody really gives
you a lot of feedback. So you have to be
able to self validate.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, ady, figure validate.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Wow, Wow, had to believe. Although maybe I can kind
of understand that there's a lot of people get lost
in their own thing. They're like, they're there for your help,
and then once they get where they need to go,
they kind of move on their journey, right, and it's time.
It's nice when someone comes back, even if they haven't
been someone you've helped and they just say you, no,
I've noticed what you've done. I've seen what you're doing
to help people. I've seen how you've grown yourself. I
mean that's great. I mean it's I'm sure it's nice
(16:18):
to hear that, and hopefully you do get that at
some other levels too.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah. Well, I mean, you know here and there, but
I don't look. I don't do it to really look
for ratings from people. Right at the end of the day,
you know, My reward really is like when I see
people thrive, and a lot of times that's honestly a
thankless job. A lot of times I do a lot
of stuff for people, make a lot of calls, bust
my butt to pull off stuff for them, and they
have no idea what I've even done because I didn't
(16:43):
even mention it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, as long as they're appreciative, but as long as
they at least, you know, realize what you've done, like
you said, hopefully, that's that's the main thing, right, because
and they can give back to hopefully whatever you've shown them,
they can give back to someone else too.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah. Sometimes yes, and a lot of times no, quite Frankly,
it's really amazing, like how quickly people forget. And also
you know how much people will minimize what you've done
and things like that. It's truly shocking. Sometimes it's like
the more you give to people, the more they start
to hate you. But at the end of the day,
it's like I say, you know, I don't do this
(17:19):
for you know, ratings. I don't do it for those
kinds of things. I'm not looking for thanks and rewards
for people because I already know the human nature well
enough to know that, like, my rewards are probably not
going to come from you know, a man, especially now
at this point in time where people are with their
mindset and everything like. So I just give because I
have an abundance to give. I have so much knowledge
(17:40):
and so much experience, I have so much drive, I
have so much love in my heart. I just am
an abundance overflowing cup. So I give, give, give, because
I'm constantly renewing myself, putting work into myself daily, like
praise and worship. You know, I have very strong meditation
morning routine. I'm always part into myself as well, so
(18:01):
then I can pour into other people. So I do
it out of an abundance and out of honesty, just
wanting to have as much impact and do as much
good within my lifetime that I have that I possibly can.
And you know, I like to work really hard. I'm
a highly motivated person. I grew up, you know, not
very wealthy and no resources. Grew up on a little
island out of Newfoundland. So you know, there's a lot
(18:23):
of people that I'd love to really help out and
give back as much as possible. But now I just
try to keep a balance, like it sounds like a lot,
but realistically it's not. I have quite a bit of
free time in my hands.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It doesn't seem like it at all. So I don't
I don't know. I want to say, actually, I don't
believe you based on the start of this conversation when
you ran down all the things you do, and I
assume that's all in one day plus taking care of kids, right,
which is a major So I don't believe you. But hey,
if you say you do, that's good to hear.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, well, I would say my body, counting clients,
I usually work about say, twenty hours a week there
with that beauty business and the empower are collective is
somewhere between like ten to fifteen hours a week, and
that's usually like at home, you know, at my own convenience.
You know, a lot of work is done through my
cell phone, so it's not stressful and it's not like
(19:15):
we're you know, I'm going balls to the walls or anything,
twenty four seven a day. Now, when I was running
my meal prep my food business, that was like one
hundred hour work week. That was way too much because
food is very physical labor, right, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So, But it is Yeah, you're saying you're on your
feet all day. You're doing this. You're always on the move,
You're always always doing something, and it is physical because
you're moving around lifting things, like little things that people
don't even realize you're doing because it's like work, it's
actual labor. You're laboring. It's labor of love maybe, but
you're actually laboring.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's right. And you know, with food especially, I was
doing healthy fully cooked food, a lot of prep. You've
got a prep you've got to then you've got to serve,
and then you've got to do all the cleaning, delivery,
and then there's all the like regular business stuff. So
one of the most intensive businesses to be in.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, I can just imagine, so I can I'm correct
me if I'm wrong, but I can imagine that the
most people that come to you looking for help or
guidance or assistance, most people want to do what you did,
which was leave your you know job where you work
for someone else's dream basically work for other companies and
became autonomous and worked for yourself. A lot of people
have that dream and that goal, millions and millions, myself included. Obviously,
(20:27):
that must be something like I said, people come to
you a lot for how do you help them manage that?
You know, so it's realistic but also achievable. And have
you ever had a I'm sure it's happened too. You've
had to maybe not turn them away, but kind of
re align their dream so to speak. You know what
I mean, how do you kind of work with that?
How do how does that work?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah? Well, typically, like when somebody comes to me, you know,
like oftentimes, how I see it happen more often than not,
is it's somebody that's seen me around a couple of
times and I have somehow established enough credibility in their
mindset that they want to take it a step farther
and ask me for coffee or you know, a phone
call or something like that, just to discuss their goals
(21:08):
and what they want to do. Right so and then
from there, like I'll just kind of like ask them,
you know, what are their goals, what are they trying
to do? Where are they at now, what are the
biggest limitations that are facing them or holding them back?
And a lot of times it's always just lies that
people tell themselves, completely lies. Like the majority of people
can do absolutely anything that they want to do. If
(21:31):
I can do it, I know everybody else can do it.
But the majority of people are literally lying to themselves
telling them they can't. They don't have the money, they
don't have the time. You know, it's not secure enough now,
it's not the right time. Like there's so many lies
we tell ourselves to literally talk ourselves out of it.
But I always say, you know, like if you have
a dream and it's been a desire for a long time,
(21:51):
that is literally your calling. You can't just ignore that.
It will always chase you and haunt you, right, So
you have to do that in some kind of capacity.
Otherwise you're actually doing a disservice to yourself and your
own personal life. What if instead of thinking of all
the things that can go wrong, you actually just really
focus on where you want to be and even though
you don't have the steps every single step of the way,
you don't have majority of the tends. When I start something,
(22:14):
I have absolutely no clue how I'm getting to the
finish line. Like when I have a brand new artist
that comes on board and they're like, yeah, you know,
these are my goals this year, I have absolutely no
clue what to do with them in the beginning. But
I just step one babyfoot, like one baby step in
front of the other day by day, and it always
comes to me. It always aligns right, and then it's
like magic happens and then people are like, whoa next thing?
(22:36):
You know when artist has you know, like I just
got an artist that got landed a BBC a deal
with his music for a brand new sitcom in the UK,
Like that's huge. Like when I started with that artist,
he was barely even an artist, right, Or like I
had an artist ask me like, oh, can you support
me for like two weeks while I'm in Canada? Sure,
no problem. Well I got them on the Caravana parade, right.
(22:58):
I had no idea I was going to do that
and how I was going to do it. But I
had one thing and that was just fath you know,
faith that I can make that happen somehow or another.
We can figure it out. So that's the number one thing.
So it's like whatever limitations you think that you have,
they don't exist, Like they only exist if you actually
allow them to exist, and then you actually create them.
(23:18):
Because like all I see is opportunity. When people comes
to me, like I just see opportunity. I don't see
the fear and stuff like that. But the number one
thing is fear. Right, people believe that they can't do it.
And if you believe you can't do it, then you're
going to manifest that you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Then you can't do it. Yeah, you've already given up,
you've already lost basically, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's right. But me, I have like delusional faith where
literally like I'm one of the most delusional people you meet,
because if you tell me you have a wild dream,
I'm like, yep, we can figure that out. You know,
here's how or who do we need to talk to?
And I'll start breaking down the steps like how do
we actually what do we need to do? Who do
we need to talk to? What do you need to manifest?
And when people actually start focusing on something that they want,
(24:00):
it's like shit just starts falling from the sky when
you really put your mind to it, And that's manifestation.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, Yeah, exactly, No, that's amazing. There's a couple of
quotes that I've actually seen a lot written on your
profile lot that I wanted to ask you about what
they mean. One of them, while they're both very fascinating.
But this one here where it says I might not
butcher it here, I don't have it right in front
of me. But politics and religion don't have a place
in business. But God always should have a seat at
(24:26):
the table. That's very cool, and that's very powerful and
actually means something very specific. And I think I understand
what that means. But for those who may not, can
you kind of describe what that means to you?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, definitely, Well, I think you know, I remember a
time like where God was a part of everything. You know,
we would pray before we eat, you pray before you
go to bed, you pray for any big decisions like
that was a norm. Right now, the society that we
live in has drifted so far from that. And when
I look back, you can literally see how we've we've
shifted away from that. And then I can also simultaneously
(24:58):
see as we've shifted away from I'm having that faith
and having that you know, belief in a higher power,
divine power, like society has gone completely downhill, just completely
only focus on themselves, right so, and then when it
comes to like business and work, part of that programming
to shift us away from that, you know, is really
just there's a programming and a messaging that when I
(25:20):
look back, it's all about you know, God has no
place in business. Don't talk about God and business or work.
And so now I'm just kind of taking a stance
where I'm like, religion and God are two completely different things. Like,
you know, religion is something that actually divides you. Like
so whether you're a Christian or you're Muslim or Buddhist
or whatever, like you're mad at each other. Like so
(25:41):
that tells me religion is fake because how can we
all have like completely different rituals and completely different beliefs
and be willing to go to war with each other
over that? And like, to me personally, religion is completely fake.
But we're all praying to something higher, We're all hoping
in a higher power. We all have a sense that
there's something higher, right, and it used to be God.
That always was God, and tell maybe the last ten years.
(26:04):
So you know, at the end of the day, like
as I've noticed in myself, as I've strayed and drifted
and I've you know, wrestled with my faith, I've wrestled
with you know, my beliefs and things like that, the
more that I've become faithful, the more it manifest into
my life, and the more that I've become prayerful, the
more I see the fruits of that prayer. So that's
(26:26):
why I just made a very powerful statement just saying,
like gos has, he deserves a seat at every table,
because every time I keep God included into something that
I'm doing, it goes way better than when I just
try to do it myself, and it goes way better
because He is all knowing. He knows everything, and he
knows things that we can't see. Right. He knows what's
in my heart, he knows what's in your heart. And
(26:47):
like right now, with a lot of different you know,
I work with a lot of different people of different
ethnic backgrounds. They have all, you know, skin colors, different
parts of the world, they have all kinds of reasons
in the world not to trust me, but for some reason,
and every single person that comes to me, they give
me their complete trust, like they just completely are willing
to put their life into my hands. Right, And that
(27:10):
to me is like, you know, a sensing of somebody
being like a good and godly person. Right, people instinctively
kind of know that whereas like a lot of times,
these are people that have come from prison trying to
get back on their feet. They have been burned and
betrayed so many times, and then they're just willing to
completely you know, give up their bank account information and
(27:30):
all this stuff to me, right, So it's truly remarkable.
So the more that I just keep God at the
front and foremost of everything that I do, the proof
is really in the pudding, right. So I just like
to share that as my own personal testimony to not
forget about God. You know, like the more you have
the most part of everything, the more powerful it is.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's definitely powerful. And this what else I've noticed is
powerful too, is this statement here, which is it's kind
of funny, but I also love it. It's very true,
especially for you and what you're doing. It's if it
doesn't contribute to creating art all, consider it's an inconvenience,
which I think is it's not meant to be Maybe
it's not meant to be funny. It's funny because it's catchy,
it's clever. I think that's why I like it. But
I think that's a great bold statement for what you're
(28:10):
doing as far as the you know, the arts and
everything that you're doing artistically and for how you're helping
other people artistically as well too.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, art is really really important, extremely important. You know,
they say the two most relevant people in the world
are people who create something. Whether you're creating a podcast
like you've done it, you're creating a book, or you're
creating a business, or you're creating content. You know, people
that create, and then people that sell. So you know,
people who can sell and actually have a talent of
being able to convince people to literally open their wallet
(28:39):
and make a purchase for a service or a product's
extremely talented, right, So the people that can close those
sales are always the king. So yeah, art is extremely
extremely important, And like right now, I'm really pushing it
because art is so healing, and we've been through so
much in the last few years that people need to
find art to express themselves, to heal themselves, to feel
(29:02):
connected to other people, right. So, so that's why I
really want to encourage people to become an artist of
some sort and express themselves in that way. And this
year is really all about collaboration because I've noticed as well,
like in the past, people are very competitive since COVID.
There's been a lot of divisions since the pandemic, a
lot of division people. Yeah, right, little bit, yeah, yeah,
(29:28):
So the divisive energy, devisive spirits are extremely I don't
all time hime more than ever. Nobody trust anybody, you know.
Everybody kind of got into this mindset that like your
own family might kill you by breathing on you.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Right, the paranoia sets and everybody's out for your you know,
to get you. They and focus on themselves and if
you're if you're in a way you're an inconvenience type
of thing. So everyone's just paranoid and everybody's just you know, mistrusting,
And it doesn't help with the things we're hearing in
the news and the things that come you know to
us twenty four to seven. There's as just our phones
are constantly on a lot of us realiz on that
for our business, as you've mentioned in myself too. So
(30:02):
I mean it's hard to you can't really avoid that
unless you put your head in the sandity even then,
you know what could be in the ground that could
get you too. There's no there's no getting away from it, sadly.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No activity. It's extreme negativity right now. So now it's
really important to have that outlet for the art, and
it's extremely important to have that faith and remember like
the key things that we were learned, you like taught,
right is just do good onto others, looko for people,
you know, like show up, support what the commers you are? Yeah,
that's right, you know. And the more we focus on
(30:33):
like community and collaborating again instead of like me for
myself and you for yourself, right, Like, the more we
do kind of get outside of that and give, the
more it comes back to us. It's literally a circle
because I am you know, very vocal about how often
people are very much you know, approaching everything from the
(30:54):
mindset of I show up to take me, me me,
what can I get? And honestly, that's why people don't
get anywhere. Like when I show up anywhere, the last
thing on my mind is what do I get here?
What do I get out of it? Because, like I said,
my mindset, there's such a difference between like an abundance
mindset and a scarcity mindset. And I'm fully like abundance mindset,
(31:14):
Like I believe thoroughly this world is beyond abundant and
that we have access to every single thing that we need.
And when you truly believe in God and you've seen
the goodness of God in your life and you believe
that you're a child of God, you know, automatically you
have access to the divine Kingdom of abundance. Anything that
you ask for, as long as it's aligned with God's will,
(31:35):
and it's aligned with like that will for your life,
it literally will just manifest easily, whether it's like a
new car, or if you need a new home, or
you know you need like a mentor to like get
your business to the next level, Like I needed a
new mentor from my art business, and then boom I
God invited to this epic event by RBC and then
(31:56):
boom I landed like the CEO of Billboard Canada UK
as a mentor. So like to me, that's divine alignment.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Right, Yeah, no, absolutely, There's so much I could dig
into you with that, with everything we talked about too,
but unfortunately Zoom does run out of time. So before
I lose you here, I do want to ask you
a couple of things specifically about your book, Body Bliss,
A Journey of body accepted journey to body acceptance, sorry,
easy for me to say. Now, you contributed some writing
(32:26):
to that, right, there was a bunch of different authors,
if I have that correct, and you contributed to that
or how to tell me about that book and basically
how it came together.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, so that's a collaborative book of fifteen women. So
fifteen women that really struggled with body acceptance, eating disorders,
you know, have stuff for abuse in the past, and
just sharing like how they've kind of overcome like all
of the pressure and stress that's on women like to
look a certain way and have a certain body image.
So at a time when body positivity was really high,
(32:56):
I think this was about probably five years ago. Yeah, positive,
we did that and yeah it was great. It really
helped a lot of women. Just hearing other women's stories
was very healing for that.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Well that was five years ago. I thought that was
recent because I've just seen recent well I guess it's
been popped up again or I've seen it, but I
thought that was I thought that was more recent. Wow,
five years already.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Body bliss, you know what, My time could be off
maybe three to four years somewhere around.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
There, but it's not within the last year. It didn't
just happen then, but it's something else, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
A few years ago. Yeah, and that was a really
popular book. It actually passed The Secret on Amazon, so
it was a bestseller book. And then from there I
just basically have sold it in a few little cafes
and shops and then just at my own store as well.
But yeah, I'd like to do a little bit more writing.
That'd be great, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
That was my next question was if you're going to
write one fully, like maybe yourself just pen your own
book or something, anything basically even a cookbook. Have you
thought about putting your pen to paper for yourself.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yes, absolutely, Meal prep cookbook is one thing that has
been on my mind to do, and I did did
just create another ebook. It's called The Art of Networking,
which is just teaches people like top ten tips for networking.
It's just a very simple, straight to the point kind
of book, no fluff, no personal stories, nothing, just like
slim magazine. So that's available as an ebook, and then
(34:17):
I want to just kind of create some of those
like short resources that are available for print and ebook.
And yeah, definitely a cookbook is on my immediate list.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's good, that's good. Yeah, you definitely should. Going back
to body Bliss for a second though, did you were
you contacted, like, how do they connect with you to
find you to get your story in there that we
did you know somebody who was creating the book or
did someone recommend you? How did that? How did you
get in contact with them?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah? Well, I've been known in this area for quite
some time. You know, I'm quite a bold person. People
know me for you know, I'm going to say what
I'm going to say. I've known for advocacy, showing up
to rallies and things like that. So I am somebody
that like people are aware of to be, you know,
out out there fighting for social justice. So somebody contacted
(35:05):
me because she had an idea to do that. And Yeah,
basically I think they wrote three books. I just joined
it on the one series, the first series, and then
I think they went on to create two more.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, that's good. Yeah, no, it's good. So you're part
of the first one. Then, yes, can people? Can people
still buy the book? Is it still on Amazon?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
It is? Yeah, it's still on Amazon, just under body Bliss.
And then if you search either of our author's names,
my author name on that one is Amanda Case, not
Amanda Catherine, but yeah, you'll be able to find us there.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
No, that's good to hear. Good to hear. So with
the time I have before I have to let you go,
tell me about where people can connect with you if
they want to be a part of the art collective,
if they want to come to you with the ideas,
if they need body sculpting, if they need cooking tips,
if they just want to have you on the podcast.
Where can people find Amanda Catherine.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, Amanda Catherine c on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. And
then the empower Are Collective is Empower Art Collective or www.
Dot empower Art Collective dot com. For mentorship program, it
is a nonprofit organization, so I do offer you know,
selective volunteering for free mentorship, and then we are going
(36:16):
to have like a certain number of scholarships and then
we're looking into getting grants as well. For anybody that
wants like a six week mentorship course.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
That's awesome. That's awesome. People to come check you out
on Instagram and connect with you like I did, and
learn about Amanda and learn about what she does. And
just if you don't want to partake you at least
watch and see all she does. It's amazing. That'll make
your head spend. There's a lot going on. But as
she says, she's bored, she's got nothing. I'll take it
from you, not bored, just a lot of time on
(36:44):
your hands.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I got time on my hands. I got time for
you guys.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's good to hear. The last thing I'll ask you then,
I haven't usually I do this on the podcast a lot.
I haven't done in a while, but I'll ask it
to you because it's I think I'm going to get
an interesting answer. But give me growing up on an island,
and I think you said new yeah, yeah, tell me
about one of your earliest childhood memories that you have
that you want to share.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Oh gosh, earliest childhood memory. H oh, I remember having
a big beach fire right down on the beach, like
you have. Beach fires is very common, so the whole
family will come. They'll you know, like.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
A bonfire, Okayichan, there's actual fire on the beach.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
But oh well, we will actually light a fire on
the beach and like sit around.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
It, okay, like a bonfire type of thing, or like
a campfire. Okay, I thought it was actual, like a
like a disaster, like a beach fire happened or something.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Bit and positive, and then we would just you know,
sit on our logs and just hang out. So yeah,
those are one of my earliest and fondest memories of
growing up on the rock.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
That's amazing. Do you get to go back there very often?
Do you still have family there?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I still have family there, and then I last time
I was there was in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Okay, just right during right before COVID or right during it,
then depend on when you went.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, exactly what it's been calling me again. So I
want to headle that way again soon. So it's been
five years now already, but I usually try to go
everyone to two years.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
That's good. Well, hopefully get back out there and enjoy
the time and take a break from everything that you do,
and you know, just spend some time reconnecting with the uh,
with the with life and the beauty of life out
there and the outdoors.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
It's been awesome. I appreciate you doing this and coming by,
and hopefully people will connect with you on Instagram like
we said, and hopefully we can chat again. There's so
much more I wanted to dig into, and I look
forward to that if we get to do it again.
