Confidence isn’t something we’re born with—it’s something we build. And over the past few months, I’ve seen firsthand just how powerful it is when women come together to support, encourage, and grow in confidence together.


Through The Confidence Workshop and the launch of The Avy Confidence Community, we are creating something so much bigger than just a conversation. We are building a movement.



The Birth of the Confidence Movement


When I first decided to host The Confidence Workshop, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would women show up? Would they be open? Would this truly make a difference?

But from the very first workshop, I knew.

Women showed up ready to grow, to be vulnerable, to challenge the doubts that had held them back for too long.They shared their fears, their struggles, and their victories. They supported each other in ways that were raw, real, and deeply moving.

And then the second workshop came—and the same thing happened again. Walls came down. Truth was spoken. Confidence was built.






The Avy Confidence Community: A Space to Grow Together

I knew these conversations couldn’t end after just one morning together. Confidence is a journey, and we need a space to keep that journey going.


That’s why I launched The Avy Confidence Community—a private Facebook group designed to be an ongoing, supportive space where women can continue to learn, grow, and encourage one another.


Inside the group, we:

💛 Share confidence-building tools and mindset shifts

💡 Engage in meaningful discussions and challenges

🙌 Lift each other up, because confidence isn’t built in isolation.


If you’ve been looking for a place to grow in confidence and connect with like-minded women, this is it.📲 Join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theavyconfidencecommunity



How a Portrait Session Can Change the Way You See Yourself


One of the most powerful things I’ve seen in this confidence movement is how transformational it is when a woman truly sees herself—not just through words, but through her own reflection.

This is why I believe so deeply in the power of a portrait session as part of the confidence journey.


It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about seeing yourself in a new way.

It’s about stepping into the version of yourself that already exists but sometimes gets hidden by doubt.

It’s about embracing your beauty, strength, and worth—without apology.


Over and over, I’ve seen women walk into a session feeling hesitant, unsure, maybe even a little nervous. But by the time they see their portraits, something shifts.


They see themselves the way the world sees them—bold, radiant, and strong.

If you’re ready to experience this for yourself, I’d love to help you step in front of the camera and celebrate the confidence you’re building.


📸 Let’s create something beautiful together. Reach out to book your session!



Join the Confidence Movement


This is just the beginning. If the past few months have taught me anything, it’s that confidence is contagious.

When one woman steps into boldness, she inspires another to do the same.


So, here’s my invitation to you:

💛 Join us in The Avy Confidence Community. https://www.facebook.com/groups/theavyconfidencecommunity

💛 Step in front of the camera and see yourself in a new way. Contact Amanda

💛 Keep showing up for yourself, because you are worth it.


Confidence isn’t about never feeling doubt—it’s about choosing to rise anyway.

And I can’t wait to keep rising together.
