  • MU191: Amanda Slade | It's All About Vibrations to Manifest the Life & Business You Envision!
    Jun 18 2025

    On this heartfelt episode of the Mastery Unleashed Podcast, host Christie Ruffino welcomes spiritual success mentor and author Amanda Slade to explore the journey of evolving into your authentic self and creating a purpose-driven life and business. Amanda shares her powerful story of transitioning from a high-level corporate executive to spiritual entrepreneur after being divinely "fired" from her VP role. Her awakening journey led her to develop the Diamond Co-Creative System, a blueprint for aligning with your soul’s path and manifesting a fifth-dimensional life rooted in love, joy, peace, and prosperity.

    Amanda discusses the difference between third, fourth, and fifth-dimensional living, how many women unknowingly operate in burnout and disconnection, and why aligning with your soul’s truth is the key to fulfillment. She emphasizes that true transformation begins with inner work, trust, and tuning into your soul’s purpose rather than external validation or shoulds.
