This week I sat down with Amanda Smith, CEO of Dallas girl gang and we tackled all the hard issues about being a business owner. Amanda is currently pregnant and is preparing her team for maternity leave – a concept somewhat foreign to business owners. We discussed her process for preparing her team and hiring the proper positions to fill the gap that will be left when she goes on her leave. Amanda also gave us insight into how she built her business up from a fun activity to a full blown business that supports her and how she used the element of community to do that. And finally we talked about money and feeling guilt & shame around charging for your services and how to get over that!

There is SO much to learn in this episode & I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

About Amanda

Amanda Smith is a Business Coach and CEO of Dallas Girl Gang, a 50,000+ global community of engaged women connecting in career, business and life. Amanda, also a former elementary music teacher of 7 years, is an expert in authentic marketing, pitching brand partnerships, and cultivating community.

After a huge life shift in 2017 and a move to Dallas, Amanda was seeking a community for women that was inclusive and offered resources for career, life, and business- and came up empty. So, she created one herself and called it “Dallas Girl Gang.”  

Now Amanda is bringing “You Can Sit With Us ™” to life across the country through activations with aligned brands such as Athleta, Greetabl, FreePeople, Olive + June, as well collaborations with others in the industry and coaching women who are building new businesses. 

She is passionate about bringing women together into meaningful community and lifting one another up through The Girl Gang Podcast, her personal brand content with Amanda Smith Coaching, and events online and in person.
