MEET YOUR CORPORATE BIG SIS

FROM FIRST-GEN GRAD TO FINANCIALLY FREE CORPORATE QUEEN

Adulthood comes at you fast—one minute, you’re celebrating graduation, and the next, you’re knee-deep in corporate emails, rent payments, and unspoken workplace rules no one prepared you for. The pressure to succeed, manage your money wisely, and climb the corporate ladder (while still having a life) can feel overwhelming.

Hey, I’m Amanda, Founder of Living In The Abundance. I’m an eldest daughter, wife, mom, author, and pageant queen on a mission to help ambitious women like you master the art of navigating corporate life and money—so you can create an abundant life, on your terms.

THE WAKE-UP CALL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

At 22, I thought I was doing everything right—I had the degree, the corporate job, and the drive to succeed. But reality hit fast. My $54K salary barely stretched in a high-cost city, student loans ate up my checks, and despite working hard, I wasn’t making a dent in my financial goals.

💡 That’s when it clicked: Working hard wasn’t enough —my money needed to work for me.

I was saying "yes" to everything at work, staying late, and excelling in my role, yet I still wasn’t building real wealth. That’s when I made a decision: I wasn’t going to just survive—I was going to thrive.

I got serious about learning how money and corporate power moves really worked. I learned how to advocate for myself, invest, and position myself for bigger opportunities. And most importantly, I stopped seeing my 9-5 as just a paycheck and started using it as my biggest wealth-building tool.

LITA: MY JOURNEY, YOUR PLAYBOOK

Living In The Abundance (LITA) started in 2017 as something simple—me documenting my debt payoff journey as a 9-5 professional. What began as sharing my wins and lessons quickly transformed into a platform where I broke down career success and personal finance in fun, relatable ways.

But what I didn’t expect? That it would grow into something bigger than I ever imagined.

💡 Because career confidence + financial literacy = the ultimate freedom formula.

Workspace with laptop, notes, and tools for financial planning

BECAUSE FINANCIAL FREEDOM ISN’T JUST FOR ENTREPRENEURS. YOUR 9-5 CAN FUND YOUR DREAM LIFE, TOO.
