Amanda and Cora
Cora and Amanda first met in junior high show choir, where they wore fabulous matching teal sequined dresses, blue eye shadow, and hot pink lipstick. Despite very different backgrounds and life paths, their friendship deepened through decades living in different states and continents as they built their education, careers, and partnerships.
After Cora trained in Brené Brown’s work, she could not wait to share it with Amanda. Despite initial skepticism, Amanda was sold after reading Braving the Wilderness and attending her first workshop. Both have experienced such a positive impact of practicing the work in their personal and professional lives, they formed a business partnership to share the evidence-based, practical, and authentic ways to show up in relationships with others. Their different and complementary backgrounds combine splendidly.
They are at the top of each other’s 1×1 square because they prioritize the relationship and work hard to show up for each other in their beautiful, messy lives.
