About Valerie:
At the age of 44, I found myself facing the challenges of divorce for the second time and, for the first time in my life, I would be living on my own. This newfound solitude became an opportunity for transformation as I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Over the course of seven years, I undertook the process of healing and understanding the person I had become. As a mother of four and a grandmother of two, I strived to overcome the emotional turmoil and emerge as a stronger individual, with a newfound sense of self-confidence. This determination led me to discover my passion for fitness, and I am now a nationally qualified NPC figure bodybuilder competitor. Alongside my physical achievements, I channeled my experiences into becoming a high-performance life coach and authoring a book entitled "Maksymizing Life." Today, at the age of 51, I am proud to say that I am in the best shape of my life, and I am a firm believer that age is just a number. By breaking free from limiting beliefs and embracing our inner superhero, we all have the potential to create the life we were meant to live.

Free ebook-4 Secrets Gritty, Strong Women Need to Know to Rise Above Toxic Relationships: https://landing.amandakirkland.com/4-Secrets-Form-Amanda
About Amanda:
A self-professed practitioner of self-care!
A B.A.B.E - Balanced, Authentic, Babe Extraordinaire.
Narcissists and toxic relationships used to surround me like a magnetic field.
I estranged myself from my parents and one sister almost 10 years ago.
Today my life is like 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins ice cream.
The younger version of me was obsessed with reading books and watching movies about the guilty – I wanted to be a Criminal Prosecutor/Crown Attorney (depending on what country you are living in).
Turns out, I didn’t have the grades or the stomach for it ... so I got into Real Estate Development… for a while.
Now, I’m a Personal Growth Coach, yoga-junkie, shopping-fiend to rival Julia Roberts, obsessive dog lover, and a secret Demo/Reno expert.
I came to the conclusion that my lived experience, both personal and professional, could help other women (and a few men) struggling with dysfunctional relationships.
If you've never tried Coaching before... it changes everything. In a matter of months. In my own journey, I experienced more personal, physical, and mental shifts than in over twenty years of traditional talk therapy. I now help others learn to live (and love) their lives without "the problem" they’ve been experiencing for years (because that luggage is far too heavy!).
If you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders - let me help lighten the load – let me help unpack some of that baggage (or those problems) and lighten your load.
I bet right now you’re wondering great, but what qualifies this chick (gal, lady, woman, person) to be a coach and help me unpack?
I have a Bachelor of Art in Social Sciences from the University of Western Ontario ’89.
I am a Certified Avalon Empowerment Trauma Aware Transformational Coach and Master Practitioner in Evolved NLP, Quantum Time Release, Quantum Change Process and Hypnotherapy. I have completed a course in Social Impact Awareness.

Shaun Randall, is the author of Words Like Wine, A Peace of My Mind, and Letters From Lima.
