Thereās one question I get asked all the time:
āHow do you do it all?ā
The truth is⦠I donāt really know. I work a full-time job, raise three amazing kids, juggle school, sports, doctor and dentist appointments, CrossFit, and everything else life throws our way.
But thereās one place where everything gets quiet.
Cleaning.
To most people, itās a chore. To me, itās therapy.
When Iām cleaning, my mind finally slows down. Iām not thinking ten steps ahead or worrying about tomorrow. Itās one of the few things that gives me peace.
One day I woke up and decided, āIām just going to do it.ā I stopped overthinking, stopped waiting for the ārightā time, and finally took the leap.
Iāll never forget hovering over the submit button to register my business. My heart was racing, and I questioned everything. I was terrified. But I clicked it anyway.
Looking back, I wish I wouldāve believed in myself sooner.
In just six months, Revive & Restore has grown beyond anything I imagined. I never expected to have employees this quickly, yet today I have six incredible women who believed in me, my vision, and this journey. That alone means more than words can say.
More than anything, I hope my kids watch this journey and see that itās okay to be scared. I hope they see their mom chasing something sheās truly passionate about. I want them to know that fear isnāt a reason to stopāitās a reason to grow. If you have a dream, go for it. Even if youāre terrified.
If I could tell myself one thing today, it would be thisā¦
Amanda, I am so freaking proud of you.
Iām proud of you for taking the chance when you were terrified. For pushing through the early mornings, late nights, tears, setbacks, and self-doubt. For building something from the ground up thatās rooted in something you genuinely love.
Six months ago, this was just an idea.
Today, itās a business Iām incredibly proud to call mine. And I truly believe⦠weāre just getting started. ā¤ļø
