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.

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.
