You audit everything else that matters — your numbers, your team, your health. So why is your love life the one place you keep blaming the apps, the city, and "no good men"? In this episode, Amanda runs a live love audit with her client Kate: a four-part walkthrough of the patterns, filters, and quiet standard-slips that keep smart women stuck in talking stages that go nowhere. By the end, you'll have a standards reset and a seven-day plan to run the play yourself.

Key Takeaways

• Why the problem isn't the apps, your city, or a shortage of good men — it's the strategy you've been dating without
• The CEO shift: slow to hire, fast to fire, never rehire — and how to apply it to your love life
• How to require clarity early instead of chasing it for months
• The three places you're over-giving, and how to match a man's effort instead of out-running it
• A standards reset you can write down today, plus a seven-day action plan

You are the most strategic woman in every room — and somehow, your love life has been the one place you forgot to bring a plan. In this episode, Amanda Carroll breaks down the Strategy Over Hope play: why high-achieving women default to hope in dating, where that rule came from, and exactly how to replace it with the same framework you've used to build everything else.

Key Takeaways:

• The unspoken rule that taught you to leave love to chance — and why it's costing you
• Why "staying open" is not a strategy, it's being undirected
• The three things that replace hope with a real framework: Clarity, Process, and Vetting
• The three-step play you can run this week

You think you’re being smart on dates.

Careful. Observant. Protecting your time.

But what if the very thing you believe is keeping you safe…
is actually the reason nothing is working?

In this episode of The High Value Woman’s Playbook, Amanda Carroll breaks down the pattern that’s quietly sabotaging your dating life:

👉 Overanalyzing men before you even meet them
👉 Looking for red flags instead of connection
👉 Turning every interaction into a test

And without realizing it…

You’re pushing good men away before they ever get the chance to know you.

Instead of dating like a prosecutor building a case…

You’ll learn how to show up:

• Warm
• Curious
• Fully present
• With zero attachment to the outcome

👉 Your only job on a first date:
See if you enjoy being around him.

• Why overanalyzing is killing attraction
• The “friend test” that replaces overthinking
• When to use discernment (and when it backfires)
• How to create real connection on a first date

Send this to the woman who’s overthinking everything and ready for a different result.

You are not broken. You are not bad at dating. You are dating as the wrong version of yourself.

And after this episode — that changes.

In this episode of The High Value Woman's Playbook, I'm giving you The Sasha Fierce Play — the exact exercise I run with every single one of my VIP coaching clients that finally breaks the pattern of attracting the same man in a different body.

You're going to discover why the little girl inside you has been making your biggest adult decisions — and how to gently, powerfully take the wheel back.

You're going to meet Grace, who spent 38 years giving her inner child what she needed — and is now learning to date as the woman she has become.

And you're going to walk away with a real play to run today. Not someday. Today.

Because the healed version of you — your Sasha Fierce — she already exists. She's just been waiting for permission.

This is that permission.

If you have ever been the one making all the magic — planning, nurturing, showing up — and quietly wondering why no one does it back, this episode is going to change something in you.

After listening, you will know:

• How to tell the difference between a man who is dazzled by you and one who is actually built for you
• The red flags she ignored, and what they actually looked like in real time
• The green flags she almost missed — and why high-achieving women do this more than anyone
• Why being "too much" is a lie you were told by the wrong people
• What it feels like when you finally stop shrinking and someone shows up to match you
  

Today's guest is Katie, morning radio host of the Wake Up Call on 106.5 The End in Sacramento. She grew up rollerblading through a chocolate factory, performing for 90-year-olds at four, and making magic for everyone around her — long before she found the man who makes it back.

Her story will make you laugh, make you feel seen, and make you rethink every man you have been settling for.

Run the play.

You've heard me say it a thousand times: the right man exists. Today I'm proving it.

For the first time ever, I'm bringing my husband Sean onto the show — not for a cute couples episode, but because I've been getting the same message from women every single week: "Amanda, I love what you teach. But I don't actually believe a man like that exists."

So I handed Sean the mic and let him answer that himself.

In this episode you'll hear Sean talk about what his dating life actually looked like after his divorce, why he put therapy in his dating profile, what he was filtering for on the apps, and why a strong, confident, financially independent woman didn't intimidate him — it's what made him stop scrolling.

He also tells you exactly what he'd say to the woman who is about to give up right now.

This is the Play: Make Him Stop Scrolling Play. And the thesis is simple: high-value men exist. But they won't stop for just anyone. So you have to make him stop scrolling.
