Summary

Have you ever hit burnout as a business owner? Ever dealt with anxiety, depression, or overwhelmed because you’re trying to hustle your business into success, but simultaneously driving yourself into the ground? Today’s episode is for YOU if so.

We had our dear friend Amanda Coker on the show to share her story and to give you a much-needed dose of wisdom and encouragement. Amanda is an Atlanta-based photographer and entrepreneur; she is the founder of Dash Photography, a wedding + senior photography team, and Revīv Retreats, wellness retreats for women in business leadership. She believes sharing her journey with mental health and business brings purpose to the pain, and empowers women to find freedom in the midst of theirs.

We talked about SO much with Amanda today. Her story of hitting complete and total burnout mentally about 4 years into her business because she wasn’t caring for her body, her time, her relationships, and sacrificing it all on the altar of achievement. She chats about how anxiety and depression stemmed from that and the steps she took to take back her life and business. Near the end of the conversation she shares how 2020 personally affected her, and we can guarantee you will relate to even a little bit of her story.

It’s powerful. It’s real. It’s encouraging.

Amanda holds nothing back, and we hope after you listen to this episode, you won’t feel alone if you’re struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and hitting burnout. It doesn’t have to be this way.
