Amanda Carroll

BIO

Living off coffee and dry shampoo, Amanda Carroll, likes to say she’s just winging it; Life. Motherhood. Eyeliner. Everything. She loves to make you smile on the radio every day, and to encourage others through her blogs and speaking engagements to live a strong and courageous life. Amanda adopted the phrase “Get Your Brave On” ten years ago when she became a single mother of 3, she calls them her Sunshines. She explains, “I was full of fear, when I entered Single Motherhood, but I knew God wanted me to move forward bravely for my family.  She now runs a website and podcast called www.getyourbraveon.info to inspire others to embrace failure and learn how to practice the art of bravery. 

“Bravery is a like a muscle, we have to work it out in order to get stronger.  It’s not inherited in our DNA, it’s a habit we have to learn.”

When Amanda isn’t running kids to baseball practice, dance class, basketball, church, or volunteering as a cross country coach, she squeezes in time in for a good workout or a round of golf, and is on a mission to find the best tacos in town! “I have a big heart for single moms,” Amanda says. “I had a dear friend who held my hand during that phase of my life and when I asked her how I could ever repay her for all the free dinners, and shoulder to cry on, she told me to “just go help someone else.” So I’ve been paying it forward ever since.”
