You can look fine on paper and be falling apart underneath. That's not a mindset problem. That's biology, and most high-performing women have no idea it's happening until the branch falls off the tree.

Dr. Traci Potterf has spent 20 years working with high performers who are exhausted, wired, and running on fumes, and calling it hustle. She's been there herself. Living in a toxic environment, ignoring her own warning signs, too focused on her clients to listen to her own body. It cost her two years and multiple six figures.

This conversation is about the asset most business owners forget to protect, the one everything else runs through.

We get into why chronic stress isn't just uncomfortable, it's structurally impairing your decision-making, your creativity, and your ability to think like an owner. Why caffeine isn't giving you energy, it's borrowing it. And what it actually looks like to build the physical foundation your business demands from you.

You started this business for freedom. You can't spend that freedom if your body quits first.

In this episode:

• Why high performers are the last to see their own health declining, and the first to pay for it
• What's actually happening in your body when you call it "just stress"
• Caffeine, stimulants, and the debt you're quietly running up on your future self
• Time-bending, why slowing down gives you more productive hours, not fewer
• Healthy Hedonism, pleasures that work with your biology instead of against it
• Why mindset work alone can't fix a broken gut, and lab testing most doctors never run
• Dr. Traci Potterf's personal collapse, two years, multiple six figures, and what she learned
• The free tool she recommends for overwhelm, anxiety, and sleep

The number most Americans say they need to retire comfortably is $1.46 million. The median retirement savings for women aged 45 to 54 is $115,000. That's a $1.3 million gap, and it hits self-employed women hardest, because the entire retirement system was built assuming someone else is handling it on your behalf.

Nobody is. So let's talk about how you build it yourself.

In this solo episode, Amanda breaks down the retirement conversation nobody had with the self-employed woman, the real numbers behind Social Security, what that balance in your retirement account actually means after inflation, taxes, and fees, and what's inside the full toolbox that most of us were never handed.

This is not a panic episode. It's an information episode. And information, it turns out, is the thing most of us were never given.

In this episode:

• Why the number in your retirement account is not your retirement number.
• What Social Security actually covers and what the trust fund trajectory means for your planning right now.
• Why the conventional retirement playbook was never designed for the self-employed woman.
• What a SEP IRA and a Solo 401(k) actually are and why they're dramatically underused.
• The full list of vehicles available to build wealth, and why the women who retire with real options build layers, not buckets.

I had a whole other episode ready for you this week. Recorded. Done. Ready to go.

Then something happened I couldn’t let slide without addressing first, so I scrapped it and recorded this at the last minute instead, which is honestly very on-brand for how this whole thing started.

This one is more raw than usual. That’s exactly why it needs to come out this way.

For a long time, I was three steps ahead of my own life, not in a visionary way, but in an “I’ve already moved on before I’ve even arrived” kind of way. I closed deals and was already on to the next one. I hit milestones and was already cataloging what was broken. I watched people stop and celebrate, thought, "yeah, that’s nice,” and kept moving.

I wasn’t inside any of it. Not really.

I thought that was just how I was built, the price of ambition.

It wasn’t ambition. It was an absence.

And here’s what that actually costs: when you build a business from that place, you price from that place. You set your standards from that place. You make every decision about what you’re worth and what you’ll accept from inside that disconnection. You can’t read the label from inside the jar.

Then you hit the number and wonder why it feels like nothing.

In this episode:

• Why being three steps ahead is not a personality trait; it’s a pattern.
• The blind spot both the personal development world and the business world have, and why doing one without the other keeps you stuck in different ways.
• What it actually means to build, price, and lead from absence.
• What being rich looks like across every dimension: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and financial. Not just the number. The whole thing.
• What’s coming next for women who are ready for both sides in the same room at the same time?

Twelve minutes, no guest, just Amanda and the thing she couldn’t let another week go by without saying.

Stop running on empty and start building real wealth, emotional, mental, physical, and financial. Join us for The Rich-Gasmic Experience and discover what it means to feel success, not just achieve it.
