Case Study One
Rejuve Health: Building the Foundation for Scalable, Purpose-Driven Growth
Founder & CEO, Rejuve Health
Rejuve Health is a concierge longevity and wellness company dedicated to helping individuals live better, longer through proactive care, regenerative medicine, and holistic health practices. When Megan launched Rejuve Health, she had a powerful mission, deep expertise, and early market traction, but she knew that vision alone wouldn’t be enough to support long-term growth.
Megan was referred to Amanda through a global women’s business network during a pivotal season of expansion and personal transition. She wasn’t just building a company; she was stepping into her role as a first-time CEO while navigating major life changes. She needed strategic clarity, operational structure, and a trusted partner to help her translate purpose into a scalable, profitable business model.
Her transformation reflects what’s possible when visionary founders invest in aligned strategy, leadership development, and infrastructure that supports growth at work and at home.

YOU are what I have been looking for, and I appreciate you helping me strategize on what Rejuve Health is — and will be.”

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 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."

Building Sustainable Impact at the Intersection of Storytelling and Justice
JJ Velazquez, Founder of Voices From Within & Monumental Media NYC
JJ Velazquez is a visionary storyteller, justice reform advocate, and creative leader whose life’s work is rooted in resilience, accountability, and transformation. Wrongfully convicted in 1998, JJ spent nearly 24 years inside New York State’s maximum-security prisons before being granted clemency in 2021 and fully exonerated in 2024.
During his incarceration, JJ didn’t wait for freedom to begin leading. He became a catalyst for systemic change from within, organizing initiatives that redefined what was possible behind prison walls, including the first-ever TEDx event held inside a New York State prison.
Following his return home, JJ stepped into a new chapter of leadership: translating a powerful personal mission into a sustainable ecosystem capable of driving long-term justice, cultural change, and economic viability.
JJ leads two mission-driven enterprises:
- Voices From Within, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to education, media engagement, and justice reform rooted in making better choices.
- Monumental Media NYC, a for-profit creative agency using storytelling as a catalyst for social change.
JJ began working with Amanda just prior to his formal exoneration, seeking executive coaching, strategic clarity, and leadership mentorship to build an integrated model that could sustain both impact and growth.

The Growth E.D.G.E
"After a transformative year of executive coaching, working with Amanda has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to turn my ideas into structured plans, while pushing me to realize my vision, has been invaluable. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve reached the pinnacle of my activism for justice — successfully integrating both my nonprofit and for-profit ventures.
Amanda’s wealth of wisdom has empowered me to lead in a way that combines healing with expansion, enriching not only the work I do in my communities, but expanding it beyond anything I ever imagined.”

"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.

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.

Case Study Five
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.
