Amanda Jane Turner, Strategy Coach & Adventurer

Amanda is one of our strategic coaches & trainers. She is a rebel and a change-maker with a heart for creating a better world. Amanda is passionate about cultivating courage in her clients. Her heart-first approach helps entrepreneurs excavate, align and express themselves in their marketing authentically and sustainably.

She has a unique way of clarifying insights, ideas, and processes to make them practical and actionable so her clients feel good about sharing the work they do with the world and attracting soul-fitting clients. Her combination of strategy, intuition, behavior change, and emotional intelligence was nurtured in her early career in non-profit community development. As a professional coach, Amanda fosters radical responsibility so her clients can grow personally and professionally. 

As a curious creative, she has acquired an endless list of hobbies and random crafty skills. She is most often found in nature or on an adventure and is never without a book and a journal.   

Tara Lynne Carpenter, Client Success Lead & Spiritual Seeker


Tara is our onboarding superstar, she makes sure you are set up for success in all of our programs and is there to connect you to the support your need.   

As an intuitive decluttering coach, Tara empowers women to transform their lives by creating order, peace, and beauty in their homes. Your home is a manifestation of what’s going on in your mind. Yet it is also a gateway to healing and up-leveling your body, mind, and spirit. Tara’s program, Align Your Home, guides women through the process of simplifying, organizing, and beautifying their home so they can live in a space they love that supports their day-to-day life, gain mental clarity and emotional bandwidth, and feel a closer connection with God on a regular basis.

When she’s not spending time with her family and soul-sisters, she loves to dive deep into the subjects that interest her...which at the moment are astrology and Human Design 🤩
