I See the Weight You're Carrying
You're the woman they call when everything needs to get done. Six-figure salary. Corner office. The respect that comes with breaking barriers in male-dominated rooms.
But I also see what they don't:
- The 3 AM insomnia wondering if you're actually cut out for this
- The Sunday scaries that hit harder each week
- The exhaustion you mask as "drive" or "grit"
- The growing distance between who you are and who you think you need to be to succeed
Here's the truth they won't tell you:
You're not struggling because you're not good enough. You're struggling because you're forcing your naturally integrated, intuitive way of processing the world into a system that fights against your neurological advantages.
I know because I carried that same weight for 33 years.
From Overextended Achiever to Aligned Leader
I'm Amanda L. Christian
Master Life Coach | Former Tech & Finance Executive | Creator of the SoulFIRE Method™
For over three decades, I climbed the ranks in Finance and Technology—from early leadership roles managing student activities and counseling at-risk youth, to leading global teams in high-stakes corporate environments, to revitalizing an entire Chamber of Commerce as Executive Director.
I was the one everyone relied on. The problem-solver. The barrier-breaker who made it look effortless.
But success was costing me everything.
While caring for my aging mother, single-parenting a son with ADHD and learning disabilities, and excelling in demanding corporate roles, I was slowly unraveling. The wake-up call came when burnout forced me into a 3-month medical leave. I rested. I healed. And when I returned... I found myself right back in the same exhausting cycle.
That's when I discovered the truth that changed everything:
The problem wasn't my strategy, my schedule, or my skills. It was trying to lead using a model that was never designed for how my brain actually works.
So I rebuilt it. From the ground up.

The SoulFIRE Method™: Where Neuroscience Meets Leadership
I didn't just overcome burnout—I architected a completely different way to lead.
Drawing from my psychology background, extensive training with renowned experts like Preston Smiles, Alexi Panos, and Christine Hassler, and my Master Life Coach certification, I developed the SoulFIRE Method™—a neuroscience-backed framework that helps high-achieving women lead from their natural design instead of against it.
This isn't surface-level mindset work. It's identity-level transformation.
The SoulFIRE Method™ integrates:
- Strategic energy optimization that eliminates decision fatigue and maximizes executive presence
- Behavioral psychology principles that create lasting change
- Neuroscience-backed systems for maintaining performance while protecting against burnout
- Real-world leadership experience from three decades in the trenches
The result? Women who stop performing leadership and start embodying it.

Ready to Lead Without Losing Yourself?
You weren't meant to choose between success and your well-being. Between impact and authenticity. Between leading effectively and being yourself.
The question isn't whether you're ready for change. The question is whether you're ready to stop pretending everything is fine.
If you're done with leadership that delivers results but leaves you depleted...
If you're ready to discover what becomes possible when you lead from your natural strengths instead of against them...
Your transformation starts with a single conversation.

Because true leadership isn't about sacrificing yourself—it's about aligning with your authentic self to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
