Proof of What's Possible
The wins, the shifts, the soul-alignment that activates when purpose-driven founders unlock their Growth E.D.G.E.
Case Study One
Scaling from 3 to 25 Locations While Maintaining Core Values
Iman Alleyne, Founder of Kind Academy and The Kind Microschool Network
Iman was running a highly successful microschool in southern Florida during the school choice innovation boom. As a wife and mother of three small children, she faced the complex challenge of scaling her educational model while finding her work-life rhythm and preserving the culture that made her school special.
Iman's journey exemplifies what's possible when purpose-driven founders receive the right strategic support. She didn't just scale her business—she created a sustainable model that serves hundreds of children while allowing her to thrive personally and professionally.
From burnout and overwhelm to confident leadership and systematic growth, Iman now leads a thriving network that operates successfully without her constant involvement, giving her the freedom to focus on her highest-impact activities while maintaining the values-driven culture she originally created.
The Challenge
The Growth E.D.G.E
"Working with Amanda was truly transformative. She didn’t just teach me about scaling, she helped me reimagine how I run my business. With her guidance, I was able to systematize and simplify in ways I never thought possible. Having the chance to borrow her brilliant mind for that year was one of the most valuable investments I’ve ever made."

The Challenge
The Growth E.D.G.E
"My journey with Amanda began at Lemonade Day, where we both served in leadership roles. What started as collaboration quickly evolved into a transformative executive coaching relationship. As a first-time CEO, Amanda helped me define what leadership meant on my own terms - grounded in my values, authenticity, and strengths rather than external expectations.
With natural grace, humility, and conviction, Amanda creates space for true growth. Organic, not prescribed. She has a unique ability to break down walls, invite vulnerability, and mine for insights that lead to lasting change. Her calm and gentle presence is perfectly balanced with a direct, firm approach that empowers you to stretch further than you thought possible. Amanda doesn’t just coach. She redefines professional development, embodying the very principles she teaches. Working with her boosted my confidence, strengthened my executive presence, and ultimately shaped the leader I am today."

Case Study Three
From Founder Bottleneck to Strategic CEO: $50K Goals to $180K in Revenue
Felicia Wright, Founder of The Learning Outpost and Founder to Founder Podcast
Felicia was operating a thriving microschool in Las Vegas, grounded in her passion for educational innovation and student-centered learning. But as her influence and enrollment grew, so did the demands of the business, until she found herself at (and beyond) capacity. She was doing everything herself: finances, marketing, parent communication, team management, and long-term strategy.
Felicia's transformation is a powerful example of what happens when visionary founders invest in leadership development and operational support. She didn’t just grow her microschool; she also expanded her capacity as a CEO, developed multiple revenue streams, and emerged as a national thought leader in the education space.
