Going from Food Stamps to 6-Figures in Three Years with guest, Dr. Amanda Barrientez, Founder of NFA Coaching EP083

I have a prime example of why it is so important for us to show up loud, proud, and as ourselves on social media.

Most of us entrepreneurs are so busy creating content and doing #allthethings that we forget to take a moment and put ourselves into our ideal client’s shoes, and how they go about searching for solutions to their current problems. We start making assumptions on how clients find coaches, or wellness products, or fitness plans…and it’s important to be reminded of the basics.

The guest I brought on for today’s show is my real life example of successful content marketing and branding. You see, I hand-select and approve of all my podcast guests. I only bring people on who are going to teach you, enlighten you, and hopefully entertain you.

I can’t even recall what I was searching for on Instagram one night, but I came across Dr. Amanda Barrientez’s profile and I saw in all caps “NO FUCKING AROUND COACHING.” If you are a regular listener you know I love a well-placed F-bomb. These four words in her profile caught my attention enough to look further, and I loved what I saw. A woman who has been through a lot of crap in her life and has made a huge turn-around and now helps others do the same.

Dr. Barrientez is the Founder and CEO of NFA Coaching. She went from being on food stamps to making 6-figures in just three years. She is passionate about helping people thrive in their businesses and reach their max potential.

Ep 808 Exposing Money Myths that are Capping your Income

What if the beliefs you have about money are quietly limiting how much you earn? In this episode, Tiffany Carter exposes the most common money myths that keep entrepreneurs and high-achieving professionals stuck at the same income level, including the subconscious beliefs that impact earning potential, pricing, selling, and building sustainable wealth.

Many people believe making more money requires working harder, being more talented, or finding the perfect strategy. But often, the biggest barriers to increasing your income are the invisible beliefs and patterns you have developed around money, success, and receiving.

Tiffany breaks down why your relationship with money is emotional, how your experiences growing up can shape your financial decisions, and why changing your money mindset is not about positive thinking, it’s about understanding the psychology behind the choices you make every day.

After building a multi-million-dollar business, I’ve decided to run a public experiment to find out.
