With the Saturn/Uranus Square highlighting the astrological landscape in 2021 and inviting us to be adaptive, flexible, and open to re-invention, we chose pivoting to be our focus for this month’s conversation, one that we had with Amanda Carter Gomes, editor/founder of the online publication The Fold. We spoke about how the current times have called us all to be light on our feet and to alter our course, sometimes out of necessity and other times out of a desire to change up our lives. Amanda shared numerous stories of women who pivoted and re-directed their lives, expanding the path they carve in unique and pioneering ways. We spoke about how pivoting takes courage and yet how sometimes we may shift things up too prematurely because we lack the patience and endurance to stick with our route. The topic of pivoting is so juicy and timely, and we invite you to listen in and be inspired.

She’s one of the most beloved breathworkers in the country, but Josephine Edmondson came to the practice reluctantly. An introvert and highly sensitive soul, she lived in her head like so many of us. Breathwork gave her the capacity to feel and to heal. Our friend, Amanda Carter Gomes, joined us with an impromptu testimonial of the heart-opening power of breathwork and the magic that is Jo.

We recorded a live show on March 14th at the Fremont Abbey following a different format that we think you’ll enjoy. We had a panel moderated by Amanda Carter Gomes of The Fold Mag with guests Shelby Earl, and Joy Pearson of Lenore. We explored the complex, but joyous world of musician moms & shared a few tunes to boot. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, so bring a glass, or bottle, of wine, we won’t judge and enjoy the show!

In this episode I speak to The Fold’s editor in chief Amanda Carter-Gomes. Amanda is based in Seattle Washington, but her digital platform has a national audience. We discuss how thinking big can sometimes stifle small steps necessary in supporting media platforms in the 21st century. And how calling upon the relationships she’s built in her very back yard might support her desire to elevate the stories her platform offers to the world.

Today I’m sharing my very last episode from my #CYOProadtrip to Seattle. Amanda Carter Gomes is the Executive Editor of Clementine Daily and, not only was she kind enough to share her story with us today, but she and her amazing family let me stay with them while I was in town! In our interview, Amanda and I talk candidly about the future of Clementine Daily, how Amanda’s many different jobs have all played a role in getting her to where she is today and why we all need to start valuing our past experiences more.
