    From Self-Doubt to Self-Discovery, Amanda Gore Shares Her Secret Formula to Joy and Connecting with Your Inner Child

    Welcome to another episode of the UnderDog Podcast! Today, I'm excited to share an insightful discussion with speaker and author Amanda Gore about her journey of personal and professional growth. Amanda has had an unconventional career path that has taken her from physiotherapy to ergonomics to public speaking, but what I find most fascinating is her journey of self-discovery.

Her engaging style is showcased on her YouTube channel, amandagoretv, offering glimpses into her captivating presentations.
