Meet Amanda Love—Your Guide to Breaking Free from Career Stagnation

For years, I did everything by the book—worked hard, said yes to every opportunity, and waited to be recognized for my efforts. I believed that dedication alone would lead to promotions, leadership roles, and a thriving career. But instead, I found myself stuck, unseen, and undervalued—watching others with less experience and fewer qualifications climb the ranks while I stayed in the same place.

Sound familiar?

It took me seven managers, countless “not yet” conversations, and one unforgettable wake-up call to realize the truth: Hard work alone doesn’t get you ahead. Knowing how to navigate the system does.

That’s when I stopped waiting for permission and started playing the game differently. Instead of chasing endless validation, I learned to position myself as a leader before anyone else did. I discovered how to advocate for my own career growth, break through corporate politics, and step into the leadership role I deserved—without burnout, overwork, or people-pleasing. Now, I help high-achieving professional women do the same.
