with Amanda Miller Littlejohn

Hey hey—it’s Amanda.

If you’ve been navigating a layoff, burnout, or just the slow, disorienting unraveling of a role or career path that no longer fits—you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in the exact season I created Package Your Genius for.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through:

• The origin story of Package Your Genius (born during my own layoff in the 2008 recession)

• The real reason rest isn’t the full answer to burnout

• How to start where you are, with what you already know

• My 3-step method to repurpose your skills into a meaningful offer

• And how to re-enter the marketplace with clarity and confidence

This is a moment for reinvention—not panic. For strategy—not hustle.

Whether you’ve been pushed out, burnt out, or just feel invisible—I want to help you reclaim your voice, your value, and your next chapter.

🎓 I’m also hosting a special 3-part workshop series: Package Your Genius: Reinvent Your Skills to Meet the Moment

If you’re ready to take action before the year ends, just reply or DM me the word GENIUS and I’ll share the details.

Let’s build what’s next, together.

This short meditation and chime sound bath sets an intention for your expansion. It’s here for when you forget how limitless you truly are.

You're still unfolding.

Settle in, get still, and allow these words to wash over you. Let them echo throughout the rooms in your inner habitat. Let them remind you that there’s more to become, more to create, more to experience.

🎙️ Episode 192: Energy Rituals That Boost Creativity and Decisiveness

If you’ve ever felt foggy, drained, or unsure about your next move...

If you’re building a brand, a business, or simply trying to stay connected to yourself in the chaos of everyday life…

This episode is for you. 💡

In it I’m sharing the quiet, daily energy rituals that have carried me since childhood — the practices that continue to fuel my creativity, sharpen my discernment, and help me make clear, aligned decisions as a leader and personal branding strategist.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, shifting seasons, or simply craving more intentionality in your day — these rituals are for you. This is about reclaiming your power source so you can show up with clarity, confidence, and peace.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why you don’t need to be “on” all the time to be powerful

• What stillness can teach you about energy, creativity, and capacity

• How small, consistent rituals sharpen your ability to hear yourself

• Why protecting your energy is a leadership strategy

• What to do when your nervous system says “no”

• My personal rituals for tuning back into myself

🛠️ Try This:

Start with stillness. Even 3 minutes. Ask yourself: Where is my energy leaking? Notice when you're performing vs. when you're present. Turn down the volume on the world. Turn up the frequency of your inner voice.

💬 Journal Prompt:

What drains me that I continue to say yes to? What energizes me that I haven’t prioritized?

You Have More Power Than You Think: A Message for Uncertain Times

If the news cycle has you discouraged... If economic uncertainty, layoffs, or unexpected life shifts have shaken your sense of purpose... If you’ve ever felt stuck, doubting your worth, or unsure of your next move...

This episode is for you. 🔥

In this real-time message from the heart, I share the mindset shifts and daily practices that can help you reclaim your agency, even when the world feels chaotic.

Whether you're pivoting professionally, launching something new, or simply trying to stay afloat mentally and emotionally, this episode is your reminder:

You have more power than you think.

You don’t have to wait for someone to choose you. You don’t have to earn your right to believe in yourself. You don’t have to stay stuck in self-doubt or past mistakes.

You can affirm your genius. You can build yourself up. You must — especially now.

1. Speak life over your gifts — out loud

2. Challenge every negative thought with 3 positive truths

3. Affirm the version of you you’re becoming — not just the one you’ve been

4. Dress and act like someone who believes in herself

5. Refuse to let the world’s noise drown out your inner genius

What negative message have I been rehearsing in my mind, and what truth do I need to speak over it today?

Do you remember who you were before the world told you to earn your worth?

In this episode, I reflect on childhood memories — the joy, the love, the beingness — and how far so many of us drift from that innocence in the pursuit of achievement, validation, and “success.”

I speak directly to the high achievers who have learned to tie their worth to what they do, rather than who they are.

We explore:

• What happens when your identity becomes entangled with performance

• Why the most courageous thing you can do is return to the purest version of yourself

• How affirming your inner child creates space for deep emotional healing

If you’ve been craving softness, if you’ve been questioning your worth outside of accomplishment, this is the episode for you.

• A heartfelt reflection on the love we often felt as children and how it fades

• How high achievers lose sight of self in pursuit of gold stars and external praise

• Why stillness, mindfulness, and self-affirmation are critical tools for healing

• How small daily acts of kindness toward your inner child can change everything

• A call to honor your emotional truth and give the love back to yourself

• The purest version of you is still there waiting to be remembered.

• Vulnerability is a portal to your true power.

• You don’t have to prove yourself to be worthy of love. You already are.

What did you love most about yourself as a child? Where have you hidden her , and how can you welcome her back?

Welcome to this special PURPOSESCAPING mini episode.

When I was in middle school, I discovered I had a gift for putting feelings into words. I would write poems that captured the emotional experiences of myself and my peers. I'd write about our joys, our heartbreaks, our quiet struggles. Years later, a healer told me that I had the spiritual gift of intercession.

Intercession is the act of praying on behalf of others, standing in the gap and lifting up the needs of someone else when they may not have the words themselves. These days, instead of writing poems, I find myself regularly writing and saying prayers on behalf of the people I love. In these short episodes, I want to share some of those same petitions with you. If you've ever thought or said, I don't know how to pray.

My hope is that these words help you give voice to the requests that are already on your heart.

This is a prayer to strengthen your ability to be a beginner, not have all the answers, and lean on your faith.

Do You Have a Prayer Request?

Email me at purposescaping (at) gmail (dot) com with the subject line "Prayer Request" and tell me a little about your situation. I'll see what I can do!

If you’re a mom in midlife like me, you already know—college isn’t cheap, and the thought of paying for it can feel overwhelming. But my guest today, Melissa Rowe, wants you to know that smart moms don’t pay full price for college.

Melissa is an educator, college access expert, and founder of Capture Greatness, where she’s helped students earn over $12 million in scholarships and gain admission to top schools like Yale, UPenn, Cornell, Howard, and Morehouse.

In this episode, Melissa and I talk about what it really takes to save thousands on college costs and how to set your kids up for success without sacrificing your peace—or your retirement. She shares why scholars get the dollars (not just “good students”), why parents shouldn’t be discouraged by the sticker price, and how starting early and telling the right stories can make all the difference.

If you’re a mom navigating midlife, raising ambitious kids, and trying to build a legacy instead of a lifetime of debt—this episode is for you.

• Why scholarships are more about strategy than straight A’s

• How to find money most families overlook

• Why starting early gives your child a major advantage

• How to tell a compelling scholarship story that wins real dollars

• What every midlife parent should know before college applications begin

• Connect with Melissa Rowe → [Instagram or LinkedIn

• Follow Amanda on Instagram → [@iamamandamillerlittlejohn]

Sending our kids to college shouldn’t break us. This conversation will remind you that legacy isn’t just about money; it’s about creating opportunity and freedom for the next generation.
