I'm having problems accessing DAY #3! Calendar link doesn't work or email did not come through!

Day 2 was honestly epic; one of those days where everything starts to click into place and you suddenly see yourself, your brand, and your work through a clearer lens. We opened with Session 1: Archetypes with the brilliant Ricquel Harper, and this was such a powerful continuation of the clarity work we did on Day 1. Ricquel guided us through personal archetypes, brand archetypes, and audience archetypes — and it was such an aligned next step after building our Message Maps yesterday; it helped us understand how we naturally show up, how we’re wired to lead, and how our audience actually experiences us. And what came through for me was SO true not new, but deeply clarifying. It articulated what I naturally do and helped me package it up in a way that finally feels “named.” I also took it a step further (in true Amanda fashion 😅) and layered my:• archetypes• personality profile• strengths test• message map …to start building a full Brand Map™ that I’ll eventually share so women can use this same process to understand exactly how to show up, communicate, and lead in one clear snapshot. Here’s what I discovered today: WHO I AM AT MY CORE (PERSONAL ARCHETYPE): The Catalyst–Magician — intuitive, electric, activating, able to shift people with clarity, story, and presence. MY PERSONAL BRAND ARCHETYPE: The Creator–Sage — intuitive builder, big-picture thinker, meaning-maker, teacher, connector of dots. SHE IS AI BRAND ARCHETYPE: Sage–Caregiver–Magician — clarity + support + transformation. MY AUDIENCE ARCHETYPE: The Hero–Everywoman–Creator — a woman with real responsibilities and real dreams, craving clarity, structure, and a voice that finally feels like hers. SHE IS AI AUDIENCE ARCHETYPE: Women who are carrying vision and a life, ready to rise with tools, support, and systems that honour both. Understanding WHY we show up the way we do why we love this work, why it energizes us, and why certain people are drawn to us is transformative. Archetypes give language to what our intuition already knows.

Early today I ran my AI Power Profile, located in AI Resources...excited to try out these tools that were recommended: ElevenLabs, Pika & Notion AI 🌟

I had one of those lightbulb moments this week about why copying what works for others rarely works for us. Turned it into this. Curious if anyone else has fallen into this trap (I know I have).... You see someone's morning routine go viral. 5am wakeup, cold plunge, journaling. They swear it changed their life. So you try it. You set the alarm. You suffer through the cold water. You stare at the blank journal page. And you're miserable. But that's just personal stuff, right? Surely we're smarter when it comes to business. Except we're not. Someone's launch makes $847,000 in three days. So we copy their funnel word for word. A competitor's LinkedIn post gets 12,000 likes. So we mirror their exact format. An industry leader shares their framework at a conference. So we implement it exactly as described in our company by Friday. And then we sit there wondering why nothing's working the same way. Here's what's actually happening. You know the story of the Trojan Horse, right? The Greeks built a giant wooden horse, hid soldiers inside, and left it at the gates of Troy as a gift. The Trojans wheeled it in, thinking they'd won. That night, the Greek soldiers climbed out and opened the gates from the inside. War over. Now picture someone hearing this story and thinking, "Wooden horses. That's the answer." So they start building wooden horses. They send one to their biggest competitor. They wheel one into their next client meeting. They park one in their email campaigns. They build three more for their website redesign. They're convinced this is what's been missing. Sounds ridiculous when you say it out loud. But walk into any business right now and you'll see wooden horses everywhere. Here's what copying looks like in real life. You see a successful business running daily emails, so you start sending daily emails too. But you don't know their audience spent two years being warmed up before they could handle that frequency. You don't see the three backend systems that make it actually work. You just see "daily emails" and you copy it.
