You know you are called to build a thriving business or ministry, but you can’t seem to get the clarity and confidence to connect with the people you are called to serve. Amanda Carrigan talks with experts and shares her experiences to help you get clarity, build confidence, and cultivate a connection with God, your people, and your most authentic self, so you can finally have the impact you were put on this earth to have. New episodes are released Tuesdays.
Last year, did you look up and say, “Wow! Where the heck did 2022 go? And, holy cow! I haven’t accomplished what I wanted!”
If that sounds familiar, it might be because you let others set your priorities, or, like so many other people (myself included in past years), you drifted to a destination you did not choose.
Seriously! No judgment. We’ve all been there.
But, if you are determined to make 2023 different, listen to learn:
- A helpful metaphor for viewing all your responsibilities
- An example of how to choose between two equally important priorities

Life gets busy, crazy, and, yes, even overwhelming. Last episode, we talked about getting clarity in the messy middle.

It’s hard to believe that it’s the middle of May already. New Year’s seems so far behind us, and a fresh start feels so far away. We are smack dab in what Michael Hyatt calls “The messy middle.” It’s the time of year where you’re so far in that you can’t quit, but you don’t know if you can finish what you started.
Maybe you set some goals at the beginning of 2022 and you just woke up and realized “Oh my gosh! It’s the middle of May and I haven’t done anything on this goal!” Or maybe you’re killing it on one or two goals, but the others have fallen by the wayside.
To be really transparent, I did this with a couple of my goals, and it was horrifying to this overachiever
The reason? I didn’t have a clear action plan beyond the first few steps, so I just kept procrastinating, because I told myself, “I don’t have time to focus on that right now.”
But, because I am a coach, I know that there are a few steps I can take to get myself, and my clients, back on track.
In this episode I cover:
- Why your lack of clarity is contributing to your procrastination and what to do about it
- How having clarity will give you an instant confidence boost
- The 4 steps you can take right now to get back on-track and start killing it again to achieve your Vibrant Vision

There is a better way!
