Summary
In this episode, I’m talking about fixing your crown, saying dreams out loud, and realizing that sometimes I am the one knocking my own crown off. We’re getting into joyful choices, self confidence, walking, meditation, health PTSD, motherhood, Disney dreams, The Courage to Be Disliked, and why keeping small promises to yourself can rebuild trust in yourself.
This is also the episode where I admit I recorded an entire podcast with no sound, talk about lice season, book a Disney cruise, and declare that 2026 is our year. Delulu is the solulu, bestie.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the After Hours with Amanda podcast. You guys, I'm recording this on my phone. |
| 0:05.6 | Don't tell me in 2026 that if you want to start a podcast, you cannot do this too because I literally |
| 0:11.7 | have my microphone plugged into my phone because I thought to myself, I just got a new phone. |
| 0:18.0 | And I feel like the camera on that is literally it slaps. It's so good. |
| 0:22.6 | So you're telling me that I'm going to use my computer. Now granted, if this falls over, |
| 0:27.7 | we're just, we are along for the ride. Let's hope nobody calls during this. But you're telling me |
| 0:33.2 | that on my, my computer, it's like an air. It's not an iPad macbook like it's just an air it's not a pro or |
| 0:39.7 | anything and it's from 2020 you're telling me that the camera on my computer is what i'm going to use |
| 0:45.9 | when i could just use my phone on the riverside app no um did you guys know okay if this is your |
| 0:51.7 | first time here welcome we're just going to jump in. |

| 1:18.0 | the year of the snake doesn't end until February 17th. And I'm like, okay. So I was like, I got that |
| 1:25.1 | corrupted file. It wasn't corrupt. I uploaded it. I uploaded it and it's there. |
| 1:29.4 | And then I start getting DMs. Hey, Amanda, there's no sound. There was sound when I uploaded it. |
| 1:36.7 | No, there was no sound. So, you know what I figured? Those 45 minutes in my life actually took much |
| 1:43.9 | longer than that, but the actual episode being 45 minutes, that was not what we were meant to talk about. |
| 1:50.0 | That's just, and since now, looking back at it, I can't even go back and listen to it now because the sound doesn't work at all, even when I go to listen to it. |
