Becoming Amanda Podcast

About Becoming Amanda Podcast

Becoming Amanda is a business and personal growth podcast for women who are building something bigger without pretending they have every step figured out. Hosted by entrepreneur, speaker, and podcaster Amanda Torres, this show brings together honest conversations about entrepreneurship, business growth, personal branding, podcasting, marketing, visibility, confidence, mindset, and what it actually takes to turn an idea into momentum. Because building a successful business isn’t just about strategy. It’s about becoming the person who can make the decisions, take the risks, get visible, pivot when necessary, and keep moving before everything feels perfectly clear. Expect real talk about growing a business, finding your voice, creating opportunities, navigating entrepreneurship, building a personal brand, and making money doing work that matters. If you’re a female entrepreneur, small business owner, content creator, podcaster, speaker, or woman with a big idea…you’re in the right place. You don’t need the whole plan. Make the decision. Make the move. Let clarity catch up. This is Becoming Amanda.

   The Year That Changed Me

   Birthdays have a way of making you take inventory. Not just of what you’ve accomplished, but of who you’ve become, what the last year taught you, and what you’re no longer willing to carry into the next one. In this birthday episode, I’m reflecting on some of the biggest lessons this past year handed me, from trusting movement before clarity, to rebuilding what matters, letting go of the need to explain myself, and realizing that not everything or everyone deserves a seat at the table. I’m also talking about what I’m leaving behind as I step into this next year of my life: proving, overthinking, waiting until I feel ready, and carrying things that were never mine to begin with. This isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about deciding what comes with me from here. Here’s to less waiting, more movement, and another year of becoming.

   Rising From the Ashes: Claudine Manor's Journey Through Loss, Grief & Reinvention

   What happens when the dream you've worked so hard to build disappears overnight? In this episode of Becoming Amanda, I sit down with my friend Claudine Manor, owner of Savannah & Pearl, to share the story of unimaginable loss, unexpected growth, and choosing to begin again. After purchasing the boutique in October 2025, Claudine was settling into a new chapter as a business owner when tragedy struck. In January 2026, the historic Lakehouse Inn, the home of Savannah & Pearl was destroyed by fire, taking her business with it. But this conversation isn't just about what was lost. It's about what was found in the aftermath. Together, we talk about:✨ The shock and grief of losing a business so suddenly✨ Navigating uncertainty while carrying the weight of other people's expectations✨ How community support became a lifeline✨ The decision to pivot instead of give up✨ Reimagining Savannah & Pearl as Janesville's first men's and women's boutique experience✨ What it means to keep showing up when your plans go up in smoke This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and discovering that sometimes the life we're meant to build begins only after the one we planned falls apart. Whether you're an entrepreneur, someone walking through grief, or simply standing at the edge of an unexpected transition, Claudine's story is a reminder that endings don't always mean we're finished. They can become the invitation to become someone new. Connect with Savannah & Pearl: 📍 Now located in downtown Janesville in the historic Olde Towne Mall at 20 S Main Street-Janesville, WI You can find her on FB at https://www.facebook.com/savannahandpearl
