Bare Minimum Babe™ is an anti-hustle, woman-hyping-up approach to life that women business owners need. As a Bare Minimum Babe, we stop overthinking, guilt-tripping ourselves, and viewing other women as competition. Instead, we hone down on the most important things in our life so we can say "F all that other noise" and raucously cheer for other women. You don't need to become a hustle-monster boss babe to be successful, there's an easier way...
Hey new friend! My name is Amanda Cunningham and I'm the OG Bare Minimum Babe. I'm a Marketing Strategist and would love to stay in touch.

How To Spot Predatory Marketing Tactics of Internet Coaches. Ep. 30
There are way too many internet coaches preying on your imposter syndrome and promising things they can’t actually guarantee with vague and hopeful statements like "I can scale your business to multiple 6 figures in just 6 months," and “quit your 9-5 with my foolproof method.”
But your goal should not be to get to an arbitrary "6 figures" as quickly as possible. Your goal should be what works for YOU. Your goal probably was not to squeeze out as much money as you can from someone to get to six figures, right? I hope I'm not wrong here…
In today's episode, we talk about:
-The predatory marketing tactics used to prey on your imposter syndrome and desperation for guidance.
-How everyone and every business is different—there is no ONE marketing strategy or way of doing things that will work for everyone.
-Going after short-term cash grabs is NOT how to build a lasting brand
-How NOBODY can guarantee you will make $X amount of money in Y amount of time. NOBODY.
-How anyone who promises to have the PERFECT solution for you, they’re lying. They can't be sure of that.

The Problem With Always Striving To Be “Better.” Ep. 29
We too often fall into the trap of watching others for “inspiration” to learn but it’s a slippery slope into comparisons, negative self-talk, and emulating traits that don’t truly fit us. Today’s episode is about how wishing to be somehow “better” is dangerous water to wade in too long because it often ignores what is so special and great about you that you should instead be leaning into.
In this episode we discuss:
How to lean into YOUR strengths instead of strong-arming yourself into your weaknessesHow everyone shines in different ways, and how someone else’s shine doesn’t mean that you shine any lessAlways striving to improve is great, but also dangerous long term if you don’t frame it properlyThe magic being unsure and not knowing where things will leadFree Workbook:Grab your copy of my FREE workbook, “Kill The Hustle: You’re Marketing Your Business All Wrong” https://www.bareminimumbabe.com/killthehustle

You Should Keep Your Day Job And Here’s Why Ep. 28.
Eating Ramen noodles, sleeping under your desk, and going “all in” have been romanticized and idealized as the only way to be successful and taken “seriously” as an entrepreneur and a business owner. I’m saying that’s BS. There are so many success stories of people working on their business in between their 9-5 and familial responsibilities. The problem: these stories aren’t glorified the way living off a friend’s sofa is. This gives us a skewed perception of what building a business is, what we need to do to “succeed,” and guilt and shame if we don't live like this.
In this episode we discuss:
-The realities of what it means to go “all in” on your business before you’re ready
-How “Researchers found that those who kept their day job while starting a company were 33% less likely to fail than the ones who went all in”
-When you keep your day job you’re forced to be more efficient and purposeful with your time—this is a good thing

Stop Waiting for Perfection Or An Invitation. Ep. 27
Too often we wait for the perfect timing, education, financial backing, aesthetic, or even a hand-delivered invitation, to start or try something new. This waiting around and inaction doesn’t help you and it certainly doesn’t help the other human beings that you’re hoping to impact positively.
In this episode we discuss:
—How it’s better to learn and pivot from action than it is to start from absolute scratch
—Nobody will ask you to do what you want to do. Nobody. Ever. You need to invite yourself.
—You don’t need to have it all figured out before you take action

How to Beat Overwhelm & The Importance of Connection. Ep 26.
Sometimes you're so excited by a big idea that you don’t even know where to begin because it seems SO big and SO challenging. That excitement can quickly transform into overwhelm if you have too much energy without direction. It’s important in these times to direct that energy into a positive outlet and take the very first bite out of that elephant.
In this episode we discuss:
-How brain dumping everything out can transform how you tackle projects
-Starting with what you can control and do is the catalyst for positive movement
-The importance of building genuine connections to become inspired, see new perspectives, and to learn

Providing Value vs. Proving Your Value. Ep.25
Is there anywhere you feel resentful that you’re giving more than you’re getting back? You might be too focused on proving your value instead of providing value. This was me. When I first started offering free consultation marketing calls to women business owners, I was subconsciously hellbent on proving I could help them. I would overdeliver like crazy and make them feel so nourished and that they had such a wonderful list of things to work on that they actually didn't see the value in working with me...so I could never convert them to clients...until I figured out what the problem was.
In this episode we discuss:
-The difference between proving value vs. providing value and why that's such an important distinction
-The power of your own subconscious CTA
-Knowing your value and being strong in your language
-Why assuming a "yes" is such a game changer

Customer Reviews
Love the show.
It’s my show, so I love it ❤️❤️
Feels like listening to a friend!
I’m at a point where I’m definitely pushing back against the go, go, go hustle mindset that has been so prevalent until the pandemic. And now I’m reorienting to figure out what that looks like. From the first episode, it felt like I was just in a conversation with a friend of mine going through the same thing. But I also got some solid nuggets to think about and take with me in my day to day. Amanda’s pretty entertaining if I do say so myself! But more than that, I really appreciate the wisdom that comes in a really honest package. Now I’m off to take a 30 minute nap, haha.
