EPISODE REWIND

Season 3 is here, Radiant Icons ✨

Amanda kicks off the new season with a powerful reminder that being solo doesn’t mean being lonely. In this episode, she shares life post-breakup, how she’s been balancing the single life with DTBI, and the lessons she’s learned from intentionally taking herself on solo dates.

From reclaiming her presence and falling in love with her own company, to reconnecting with her body and embracing emotions she once avoided, Amanda shows how these experiences can transform your relationship with yourself.

She also breaks down why the relationship you have with yourself is the most iconic one you’ll ever have—and shares actionable steps to start becoming your own best friend today. Plus, the DTBI Hotline is back, answering real questions about loneliness, self-trust, and the courage to stand boldly on your own.

If you’ve ever doubted your own company, let this be your wake-up call: stop waiting for someone else to show up—be your own iconic love, your own biggest cheerleader, and the boldest version of yourself. 💋

35

Let's just get to that

piping hot tea, shall we?

36

Let's get to that tea

time sesh, radiance icons.

37

Let's press rewind.

38

Are you ready?

39

radiant icons, because your

tea time sesh is starting now.

40

Let's start today's tea time session with

a little check-in, a little post breakup

41

check-in because one of the most requested

or honestly, I guess, asked questions

42

since the season two finale has been,

how am I doing post breakup and what am I

43

doing differently in this healing process

for this breakup as compared to that

44

breakup that caused me to start dare to

be iconic And well, the number one thing

45

I can say is that this time around I am

living the single life with intention.

46

I am balancing my day job and dare to

be iconic and having an actual social

47

life for the first time in like forever

in my life, like for the first time in

48

26 years, I actually have a social life.

49

And I know that's weird 'cause it's

like Amanda, you're like always out

50

with your girlfriends or you're always

out celebrating life and like living

51

life and blah, blah, blah, blah.

52

But really I've never felt like I, I

truly started living until this breakup,

53

until I started my radiant reign era.

54

And I think because in this breakup,

what's so different is that I have such

55

a strong sense of self coming out of

this breakup because I did all that

56

internal work, that first breakup with

the letter in the box, right, that

57

caused me to start dare to be iconic.

58

I did all that internal work.

59

I looked at the really ugly or not

so shiny, not so pretty parts of me.

60

And I worked on them for

three years by myself.

61

I didn't talk to anyone

romantically during that time.

62

I didn't even try to put myself

out there, and I was very anti-men.

63

Again, I think the common

denominator is that I've always been

64

anti-men, but that's not the point.

65

That's not the point of

this check-in, actually.

66

But still, right?

67

Like I did all that internal work

and I built a strong sense of

68

self so that when I went into that

relationship with now my most recent

69

ex-boyfriend, I knew who I was.

70

I knew what I was capable of, but I

didn't know it to the full extent,

71

I had an inkling of what I was gonna

learn with my recent ex Sebastian.

72

I knew what I was gonna learn

in that relationship as soon

73

as I stepped foot into it.

74

And it was true.

75

It was true.

76

I manifest everything in my life, and

I guess I manifested that one, and I

77

knew that in that relationship with my

current ex Sebastian, that I was going

78

to heal from a past trauma in my life.

79

That it was going to be the kickstart

to finally healing from it because

80

I've been putting it off for now,

eight to nine years of my life.

81

And being in that relationship with my

recent ex really showed me what I was

82

capable of in healing from that trauma,

but also showed me all the work that

83

I've done on myself shines through.

84

And I am so, so thankful for that

because it allowed me to step into

85

this next era of my life, right?

86

Where I embrace the freedom and the

liberation and the empowerment and

87

all those other amazing adjectives

that I keep using to explain this era.

88

That's what I've been feeling,

and that's what I've gained.

89

On the other hand of what I haven't

really shared on socials yet, and

90

I've decided, well, you know what?

91

Let's go big on the season three

premiere and just talk about it.

92

Um, well, it may not seem like it, but I

have been struggling with this breakup.

93

There is so much happiness and

independence that I gained from

94

this breakup, and that is beautiful

and that is amazing and I love that

95

for me, what I don't love for me

is owning both sides of the coin.

96

And that's owning the really hard

parts, it's owning the frustration

97

and the hurt and the embarrassment.

98

And I know you're probably like Amanda,

you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

99

And that's so true.

100

Like you are so right and

I know you're so right.

101

Like even my friend Amanda had

told me when we were going to

102

heels class, like, there's nothing

for you to be embarrassed about.

103

But the truth is, I am, I am so

embarrassed that I opened up my heart

104

to someone after three years of being

single and believing in them and

105

trusting in them, and talking about it

on this podcast and sharing that part

106

of my life with you guys for it to

only kind of like, blow up in my face.

107

And I didn't think I was gonna get

emotional because this episode is not

108

supposed to be like, sad or whatever.

109

But, um,

110

it's the embarrassment of trusting the

wrong person that really like, cuts me

111

to my core and kind of like stabs me in

the heart to be very graphic so you guys

112

can kind of feel, feel what I'm feeling.

113

I get really, really, really frustrated

at myself because it's like, oh,

114

I should have known better, right?

115

Than trusting him.

116

I should have known better and

I should have just kept on going

117

the way I was going because my

life before him was so great.

118

But then I also think I

was in blissful ignorance.

119

I was avoiding this huge part of my

life that I just like kept avoiding

120

and pushing off for nine years.

121

And when I was with him, I was

forced to deal with it head on.

122

And again, like I wouldn't

have gotten that if I didn't

123

go into that relationship.

124

Right?

125

And that's been so, that's

been so life changing in this

126

journey for me in healing.

127

But I still get really embarrassed and

I still get really hurt and frustrated,

128

but it's all directed towards myself

because I feel like I should have

129

known better because I know better.

130

Right?

131

And that's what keeps coming up sometimes

when I'm, I'm trying to heal even when I

132

am choosing my time intentionally to enjoy

my own presence and be in my own company.

133

Those waves of frustration

and embarrassment and hurt and

134

honestly even shame still come up.

135

And the mindset switch that I have

tried to use right when it gets really

136

hard and like everything just hits

me like a load of damn bricks, right?

137

It just smacks me in the face.

138

I remind myself of this : it is more

embarrassing for him to have fumbled me

139

because it is never embarrassing to fall

in love or to love someone so openly.

140

It is never embarrassing

to lean into your feelings.

141

It is never embarrassing to

wear your heart on your sleeve.

142

What's embarrassing?

143

Is fumbling someone

who gave you that love?

144

That's embarrassing.

145

So if you are also in this post breakup

era and you're like, damn, Amanda, I

146

feel a lot of embarrassment and shame and

frustration and hurt and I don't know what

147

to do, I encourage you to do a mindset

switch because, you know, we love a good

148

mindset switch here at Dare to be iconic.

149

And I realized that I was using

this mindset switch in every other

150

area of my life except in this area,

and I really need it in this area.

151

So I encourage you and I challenge you

to do the same when you feel those, those

152

waves of, um, not so shiny emotions,

but apart from those not so shiny

153

emotions that I allow myself to sit in

and feel, even though I don't want to,

154

I feel immense waves of fun and freedom

and joy and happiness in this era.

155

Going back to living the single

life intentionally, right?

156

It's allowed me to learn how

to be my own best friend.

157

I know that in my breakup from

the letter and the box ex.

158

I never learned how to

be my own best friend.

159

It was a lot of that nitty

gritty internal work.

160

I never got to the stage of learning

how to enjoy my own presence, and how

161

solitude really can be empowering.

162

And if you've been following me on social

since the Season two finale, then you

163

already know what I'm hinting at here.

164

It is my new series: Sexy, Single,

& and Iconic: The Solo Diaries

165

where I romanticized the single

life one iconic date at a time.

166

And for the month of September,

I took myself on solo dates.

167

I intentionally made time for myself.

168

I intentionally embrace the

empowerment of solitude.

169

I intentionally embrace this learning

process of how to be my own best friend.

170

That series has been so transformative

for me because not only was it fun going

171

on these different solo dates, they

transformed my relationship with myself

172

because I'm a firm believer that the

longest relationship we will ever be in

173

in our lives is the one with ourselves.

174

So we need to learn how

to be our own best friend.

175

And each solo date that I took myself

on in this new era allowed me to walk

176

away with a lesson and get to know

myself on a deeper, more intimate level.

177

And you know what?

178

I would've never learned that about

myself if I didn't push myself outside

179

of my comfort zone and go on that

solo date, no matter how scary it was,

180

no matter how overwhelming it could

have been, I took myself on the date

181

because I chose to put myself first

in a different way that I never have

182

done before in my past breakup, right?

183

In that past healing journey of, you

know, becoming who I am meant to become.

184

And I just wanna go through real quick

what I learned from each solo date.

185

When I went to the singles mixer,

that was my first solo date.

186

That was the most terrifying

thing I've ever done in my life.

187

I don't have that many single

friends to begin with, but even the

188

single girlfriends that I do have,

none of them could go to it, right?

189

They didn't wanna go, or they

were busy, whatever it was.

190

So I decided, you know what?

191

I'm gonna go by myself, and I'm so

happy I did, because from that first

192

solo date, I learned how to own my

power and how to own my presence.

193

I was so comfortable with being

in a room full of single people

194

and just owning who I am.

195

I've never done that before in my life.

196

That was challenging and scary,

and I'm so happy I did it.

197

I think it was a great kickoff

to the solo date series for me.

198

Then I went to Howl O Scream Orlando.

199

Fun fact.

200

I was actually supposed to go on a

date to that event, but he canceled

201

on me, and you know what I said?

202

Fuck that.

203

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go on that

date 'cause I want to do this.

204

And from that solo date, I

learned that I can do what I want.

205

I fucking can do what I

want because I'm single.

206

I have no one holding me back.

207

I am not tied to anyone.

208

So if I wanna go to Howl O Scream Orlando,

I'm gonna go to the damn thing and I'm

209

gonna have a good ass time because I was

falling in love with my own company again.

210

I truly was by myself and embracing

that feeling of being solo and that

211

that freedom to do what I want.

212

The next solo date was a journaling date,

because that week was so damn hard for me,

213

and I was really battling those waves of

embarrassment and frustration and hurt.

214

So I challenged myself to sit with the

emotions that I have been avoiding.

215

I was accepting the hard stuff so

that I can finally break free right or

216

break up with the past to fall in love

with this future that I am creating.

217

After that, I went to a heels class.

218

You guys have probably seen that on social

media, but it's been really hard for me in

219

this breakup to connect back to my body.

220

And by going on this heels class, not

only has it allowed me to go back to an

221

art form that I loved when I was younger,

I loved and loved and loved dance class.

222

And now being able to go back to dance

class, I've been able to reconnect with

223

my body and reconnect to my sensuality,

which is a new feeling that I've never

224

really allowed myself to feel before.

225

And it's been really interesting and nice.

226

The last solo date or the most

current solo date because it

227

will not be the last is I took

myself out to lunch in a new city.

228

I went to the under 30 summit.

229

You guys probably have

seen it on social media.

230

Um, and it was in Columbus, Ohio, and

I was representing Dare to Be Iconic.

231

It was my first big solo work trip

for DTBI, and it was the most mind

232

blowing experience of my life.

233

It was so, so cool to be in a room

that I've only ever dreamed about.

234

But I decided to fly in a day early

and have that whole day for myself

235

and really challenge myself more

than just flying on a plane by myself

236

because, you know, I hate flying and

that to me is already challenging, but

237

I decided to take it a step further.

238

I decided to take myself out

to lunch and explore the city.

239

And at first it was really

intimidating you guys, 'cause I

240

thought everyone was looking at me.

241

But the matter of the fact is no one

gives a shit about what you're doing.

242

No one is so focused on you.

243

Everyone is focused on themselves.

244

No one is wondering why you're

going to lunch by yourself.

245

No one is wondering why you have a journal

with you and you're journaling by the

246

window and eating your brown sugar pie.

247

No one gives a shit.

248

No one truly gives a shit

about what you're doing.

249

No one does.

250

Okay?

251

That is all in your head.

252

And that's what I learned is

that it's all in your head.

253

That fear of judgment, that fear of

people looking at you, that fear of

254

whatever it is, it's all in your head.

255

Because people are so concerned

with themselves, they do not notice

256

that you are at lunch by yourself.

257

And that solo date in particular gave

me confidence in being seen alone

258

because again, I had this huge fear

of judgment of people wondering, oh my

259

God, why is she eating lunch by herself?

260

Oh my God, why is she there by

herself, sitting by the window

261

and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

262

Like I thought everyone was looking at me.

263

No one could give a shit less.

264

It was a Saturday afternoon in Columbus,

Ohio, and I was there by the window

265

eating my brown sugar pie, enjoying

my life and enjoying my presence,

266

and enjoying being seen alone.

267

I gained confidence in that skill.

268

And also I was open to new connections.

269

You never know what's gonna

happen when you are by yourself.

270

So I started talking to the people next

to me and I met this really cool group

271

of people that they even invited me

to their house party later that night.

272

Like that would've never happened

if I was with someone else, because

273

I would've been so engaged in that

conversation with that other individual.

274

I never would've, you know, had the

courage to one, go to lunch by myself,

275

but also turn to the table next to me and

be like, Hey, are you guys from Columbus?

276

Like, what's good around here?

277

What should I do?

278

And we started that conversation and

you know, they enjoyed it so much.

279

They invited me out to their

birthday party, like, girl, what?

280

That was insane.

281

But the point of this is each

solo date was a step toward

282

becoming my own best friend.

283

. These solo dates weren't just fun for me.

284

They were intentional

in my healing journey.

285

It allowed me to learn that.

286

You know what?

287

Being your own best friend is the best

foundational skill that you can gain.

288

This will be the longest

relationship you have in your

289

entire life, is being with yourself.

290

So why not make it iconic?

291

Why not learn how to enjoy

your own presence, how to

292

be confident in being seen?

293

How can you transform your

relationship with yourself?

294

That was the challenge that I, I

took on this solo date journey.

295

And so I know you're all

wondering, Amanda, how do I

296

become my own best friend?

297

I got you, radiant icons.

298

Here are my five simple steps on

becoming your own best friend.

299

Let's get into it.

300

Step number one, date yourself on purpose.

301

You need to make time just for you,

and you need to be intentional with the

302

time that you set away for yourself.

303

Whether it's five minutes of your

day or whether it's a whole night

304

dedicated to dating yourself.

305

You need to do it, and you

need to be intentional with it.

306

Step number two, sit in those feelings.

307

Sit in the happiness.

308

Sit in the joy, but

also sit in the sadness.

309

Sit in the hurt.

310

Sit in the embarrassment.

311

I know step two is not fun.

312

Trust me.

313

I've been there a lot in this healing

process of sitting in my feelings and

314

sitting in the not so fun feelings.

315

As you guys know from earlier in this tea

Time sesh, I've been struggling with a lot

316

of embarrassment and a lot of frustration

and hurt and sadness, honestly.

317

And well, you gotta force yourself to

sit in those feelings, whether it's

318

journaling or meditating or just being

honest with yourself, like having a

319

tough conversation in the mirror, or

you know, going on your hot girl walk,

320

putting your headphones in and having

those tough conversations and pretending

321

you're on a phone call with someone else.

322

Yeah, no, you gotta do it.

323

You gotta do it.

324

As uncomfortable as it feels, we grow

in the uncomfortability, we grow in

325

that uncomfortability, radiant icons.

326

So you gotta force yourself

to sit in those feelings.

327

You gotta force yourself to deal with

the ugly truth that you've been avoiding.

328

Sit in them.

329

It's not pretty, but it's going to be

worth it on this journey of learning

330

how to be your own best friend.

331

Step number three is

reconnecting with your body.

332

And I know I mentioned in my little

recap of my solo dates that this

333

step is connected to going to heels

classes and really celebrating and

334

honoring my physical self and honoring

the movement that I want to do.

335

And for me, I choose to do dance.

336

I choose to do heels dance.

337

And I think it's because a big part of

my, my healing journey this time around

338

is embracing my sensuality and embracing

my body and being so confident in my body.

339

Because as we know from previous tea

time sessions, I haven't always loved my

340

body and my journey with my sensuality

has always been hard 'cause it's linked

341

to traumatic events for me, and in this

stage of healing from this relationship,

342

I'm making it a point to reconnect with

my body this time around and reconnect

343

with my sensuality or honestly just

start exploring it and what feels good

344

and looks good to me in that sense of

movement, what does that look like?

345

How do I carry that with me?

346

How do I carry that sensual confidence

when it comes to a heels class?

347

How does it trickle into

every other area of my life?

348

Right?

349

I, I know what I say on socials.

350

I'm like, oh my God, I'm

so hot like this and that.

351

And I do believe that about myself.

352

Like that is, that's my

confidence right there.

353

But there is a part of

me that's not healed.

354

And doing a heels class has allowed

me to slow down and take that time

355

because heels classes, I don't

know if you guys are familiar

356

with it, it's very slow movements.

357

They're all slow and intentional

and just sensual and that boom.

358

And I don't think I've ever taken

the time to truly think about how it

359

feels to reconnect with my body and

be comfortable in my skin in that way.

360

And so when it comes to step three,

I encourage you to push yourself

361

outside of your comfort zone or do

something that you've always wanted

362

to do, whether it's a heels class,

whether it's reformer Pilates, whether

363

it's going on a walk, a run, a jog,

a Zumba class, like whatever it is.

364

Do whatever it is to reconnect with

your body because it is so worth it.

365

You guys, that honestly paired

with step number two has been

366

the most transformative in

this healing journey for me.

367

Now, let's go to step number four.

368

Step number four is hyping yourself up.

369

I'm talking affirmations.

370

I'm talking mirror pep talks.

371

I'm talking celebrating those wins

because you know, here at Dare to

372

be Iconic, we love celebrating those

big and small iconic wins because

373

every win is a win radiant icons,

and so you need to hype yourself up.

374

You need to tell yourself that you're

doing a damn good job at enjoying your

375

own presence, that you're doing a damn

good job at learning how to love solitude,

376

because embracing solitude is a strength.

377

It is a strength because being

single is not a punishment.

378

It is a blessing and it is freedom

and it is so many other words, but you

379

need to hype yourself up when you're

not feeling like the radiant icon that

380

you are, you need to hype yourself up.

381

Talk to yourself as if you

would talk to your best friend.

382

Oh, wait.

383

You already are your best friend.

384

You already are your best friend,

so let's put that skill in use.

385

Okay?

386

And step number five, stay curious.

387

Stay curious.

388

Radiant icons, try new things alone.

389

Try new things alone to learn

who you are outside of others.

390

If I never took myself out to lunch,

if I never went on that trip to under

391

30 by myself, if I never went to that

heels class alone, if I never went

392

to Howl O Scream alone, if I never

went to that singles mixer alone, I

393

would've never known or learned who I

am outside of others, because I was so

394

used to having someone there with me.

395

I was so used to always having that one

go-to person that I can lean on by being

396

by myself, by being solo, not lonely.

397

It forced me to learn who I was outside

of the company of another individual.

398

And I think that is one of the

most amazing things about learning

399

how to be your best friend, is you

need to learn how to stay curious.

400

'Cause that's where you learn

the most about yourself.

401

All right, radiant icons, before we

wrap up today's tea time sesh, we're

402

going back to one of my favorite

segments is the DTBI hotline.

403

So let's get into these questions

because you guys sent some good ones.

404

The first one is, what's your

advice for handling waves of

405

loneliness as a single woman?

406

Loneliness is an emotion and we all

will experience loneliness or that

407

feeling of loneliness in our lives.

408

No matter if we are single in a happy

relationship, whatever it is, we all will

409

experience that emotion of loneliness.

410

And I challenge you that when that

emotion of loneliness comes up,

411

you need to look at the root of it.

412

What is coming out of it?

413

Am I seeking attention, validation

company, whatever it is, you need to

414

get to that root of that emotion of

loneliness and give it to yourself.

415

So for instance, if I am feeling

this emotion of loneliness, I need

416

to look internally of what is it

that that I really want right now?

417

Because there is something at the

root of this loneliness that I am

418

feeling of why it came up right?

419

And it may be that,

you know what I really.

420

I really just want company right now.

421

Okay.

422

So how can I, me, myself, and I give

myself this feeling of company that

423

I am craving, because that's why that

emotion of loneliness came up, right?

424

That's why I'm feeling

this wave of loneliness.

425

So I challenge you to look inward,

look at the root of that feeling of

426

loneliness, and then give it to yourself.

427

This question is good.

428

It's allowing me to look

introspectively, so let's get to it.

429

How do you rebuild

self-trust after heartbreak?

430

As I mentioned earlier in this teatime

sesh, I've been struggling with a

431

lot of, um, not so happy emotions

in this post breakup era, right?

432

And a part of my heart is broken, right?

433

It's embarrassed.

434

It's frustrated and it's hurt.

435

And for me, learning how to rebuild

self-trust after this heartbreak.

436

And I, I know it's gonna sound so cheesy

you guys, but it truly is learning how

437

to be my own best friend by going on

these solo dates, by doing this sexy,

438

single and iconic solo diary series.

439

It's really allowed me to rebuild the

trust in myself that maybe that I lost a

440

bit or that I didn't feel so confident in.

441

Because, you know, I, I mentioned

I've been struggling with the,

442

I should have known better.

443

Right?

444

That's the feeling that,

you know, comes up.

445

Sometimes when I feel embarrassed,

I'm like, I'm so embarrassed

446

because I feel X, Y, and Z.

447

Or I feel frustrated because of X, Y,

and Z, and I turn it back onto myself

448

and there's no need for me to do that.

449

Right.

450

But it, it's so normal

and it's so valid, right?

451

It's such a, a valid reaction to have in

this heartbreak, post breakup, whatever

452

the hell you wanna call it, stage.

453

And for me, rebuilding self-trust has

looked like learning how to be my own

454

best friend again, is learning that

singleness is a blessing and I need

455

to embrace this era of my life because

it's happening for a reason, right?

456

It's, it's happening for

reasons that maybe I don't know.

457

And I do know one of the reasons is

because it has to happen for me to become

458

the Amanda that I'm supposed to become,

and I need to trust myself again and

459

trusting myself again looks like taking

myself on a date every week or so and

460

learning who I am away from others.

461

It's learning how to

enjoy my own presence.

462

It's pushing myself outside of my comfort

zone and reconnecting with my body.

463

So if you're looking on how to

rebuild self-trust, I challenge you

464

to take yourself on a solo date.

465

I challenge you to learn how

to be your own best friend.

466

I challenge you to implement

the steps that I mentioned

467

earlier on in this tea time sesh.

468

I challenge you to do that, and

I think that's the first step on

469

building self-trust after heartbreak.

Fashionably Single Ad: Welcome to the

Fashionably Single Podcast, where single

471

life meets real talk, hosted by Hannah.

472

This guy is sitting next to me and

this was like a no shoe kind of house,

473

so he had to take his shoes off.

474

They were playing cards, drinking, and

then all of a sudden he starts rubbing his

475

foot on my leg and her co-host Jessica.

476

So he leaves me at the table, he gets

his suit, he goes back to his car.

477

I'm thinking he's

dipping out on this date.

478

I just told him I don't want to marry

him and I won't let him kill me.

479

So two millennials in

Austin, Texas, navigating.

480

Independence and becoming your best

self with confidence and style.

So excited for it.

498

Next week's tea time session, we

are spilling the tea on how you can

499

heal out loud through movement and

own your power by reconnecting to

500

your body this topic in particular.

501

It's something that hits so close

to home with the journey I am

502

particularly on when it comes to this

own your sexy chapter of my life.

503

It has to do with my relationship

trauma, and it has to do with this whole.

504

Everything.

505

Basically I mentioned in the own Your sexy

episode, um, at the beginning of April,

506

and I'm really excited to spill the tea

on what I have learned when it comes to

507

reconnecting to your body and how you can

too, so we can heal out loud together.

508

Because this year is not only about.

509

Owning your sexy and turning

your pain into power.

510

It's about healing out loud as well

because all of them intertwine together.

511

2026 is the year of freedom,

like I said, and we will have the

512

freedom to be us and our bodies.

513

We will have the freedom to

turn our pain into power.

514

We will have the freedom to own our

sexy and redefine it for us, and

515

this chapter just keeps getting.

516

Better and better, and I can't wait to

spill the tea on everything I've learned

517

so that we can reconnect to our power and

our bodies and heal out loud together.

518

radiant icons.

519

So with that, I'll chat

with y'all next week.

520

Remember, radiant icons.

521

Dare to be iconic.

522

Bye.
