Design your Life
I have various interests and things I love to do that all stem from my passion for art and design. From music and painting to cooking, DIY projects, organization, minimalism, and a long-standing drive for personal development and learning new skills. These paths have brought me here to share what I have learned with others. I have a passion for designing my life, and I believe that each person can master the deliberate design of their life. From health and relationships to the spaces, you live and work in. All can be learned with a series of small steps and new habits. Believe me, if I can do it, you can do it.
I came from a small, economically depressed town. I barely made it through high school, and I ran with a rough crowd, to put it mildly. Most days, my idea of a meal was to gulp down a cheap cup of coffee while puffing on a pack of generic cigarettes. My bedroom was always a disaster. I hoarded and collected just about everything for fear of not being able to get anything new. Out of humble beginnings, ingenuity was born. Because we had little money, I was resourceful and found ways to do things and fix things myself. This led to realizing that learning and creating would be the ticket to improving my life.
After a long journey, I have come out on the other side with many beautiful experiences and have accomplished many things I set out to do. This includes graduating from college and moving to LA. I have performed on some of the best stages with other world-class musicians. I also have made a living as an artist in fashion design and graphics. I know how to create healthy relationships after years of choosing unavailable people. My home is no longer cluttered with things I don't need, and I successfully quit smoking two packs of cigarettes a day almost 20 years ago. I am a published cookbook author, and health has become essential. I currently enjoy keeping company with some wonderful people and communities. I made it through some hard times, making me a strong and authentic person. So, as I said, if I can do it, you can do it.

-Jennifer Cornbleet & Mark Futterman
Amanda employs an interesting and helpful strategy: she says 'the plan is not the experience', meaning, we will have a better idea of the success of our offering once it is put into action. I always had confidence that Amanda was listening, intuiting, and responding to key elements for our coaching calls, and this helped me to keep moving forward. She is perceptive and direct, kind, encouraging, and can apply laser coaching to your need to identify and take your next steps in your life endeavors!

My experience in the Tasty Life Teacher training 2019, was absolutely amazing. It really brought me all the confidence that I needed to clarify and continue with my mission. But all of this wouldn´t have been possible without the coaches of the program. Here is where I met Amanda, she was always supportive, and present during the whole training. She helped me to keep on track when I need it. She is very human and comprehensive. I was very lucky to count on her during the program.
