#078. How a Side Hustle Turned Into A Dream Job / Interview with Amanda Becker

“If nothing changes, what will my life look like in ten years?”

It’s something that we all wonder but, whether out of happiness or complacency, most of us don’t take drastic steps to change what the outcome will be. When Amanda Becker asked herself this very thing, she felt so sick at continuing her current path that she immediately re-routed and turned her hobby side-gig into her dream job and lifestyle.

To the outsider, Amanda had achieved the American Dream: as a young woman, she was swept off her feet by a romantic courtship with her French-born soon-to-be husband. He whisked her back home to France, where they spent some fantastic years immersed in culture, romance, and excitement, and freedom. After they tied the knot, they headed back to the States to lay out their future.

Amanda had it all. She re-entered the American workforce in a pharmaceutical job with all the highs (high paying, highly rewarding, and highly demanding), and they got to building their picturesque life. No with a handsome husband, two beautiful daughters, a lovely home and a high-end ticket job, what was not to love?

BUT, there was a different picture to be seen from the inside. Amanda was suffering miserably. With all the rewards came so much stress and responsibility that she missed out on family time, had no free time, lost touch with her friends, stopped sleeping, gained weight. Her relationship with her husband was suffering, and Amanda was at breaking point.

It wasn’t until a chance meeting with a poolside stranger that Amanda realized there could be a different lifestyle to be had. Once the seed was planted, the Universe presented Amanda with every opportunity she needed to seize her alternate path.

Listen in today to this episode to find out how Amanda Becker managed to turn her love for quality skincare into a successful career that has let her ditch the stress and live a new lifestyle paved with intention, gratitude, and happiness.
