Meet Amanda Humberson of Denver, CO

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Humberson

Amanda, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey has been a mix of passion, hard work, and a constant drive to evolve. I spent over 15 years in the staffing industry, working my way up to Senior Director of Client Success at Russell Tobin and Kelly Services. During that time, I led teams, built strong client relationships, and earned recognition as an award-winning leader. But while I thrived in that space, I knew I wanted to do something more personally meaningful.

In 2022, I launched The Verbal Process Podcast and later I’m Not Finished, stepping into the world of podcasting to have real, raw conversations that open people’s eyes to loving others well. It quickly became a passion project that allowed me to connect deeply with people, challenge perspectives, and create a space for honest dialogue.

Now, as a mom of two and wife to a firefighter paramedic, I’m always looking for ways to bring adventure and creativity into my life.

Every step of my journey has been about growth, impact, and staying true to what lights me up. And honestly, I’m not finished—there’s always more to come!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but I’ve learned that the best things rarely come easy.

In my corporate career, I faced the constant challenge of balancing high performance with personal fulfillment. The staffing industry is fast-paced and demanding, and while I loved leading teams and driving success, I often felt the tension between career growth and being fully present for my family. Walking away from a stable, high-level role to pursue more passion-driven work wasn’t easy—it meant redefining success on my own terms and facing the uncertainty that comes with change.

Podcasting brought its own struggles, too. Putting my voice out there in a vulnerable way was intimidating at first. I had to push past self-doubt and imposter syndrome, wondering if people would connect with what I had to say. And like any creative endeavor, there were technical challenges, time constraints, and the uphill battle of growing an audience in a crowded space.

Through all of it, I’ve learned that the struggles are what shape you. The detours, failures, and hard moments have only reinforced my belief that I’m capable of figuring things out. And honestly, I wouldn’t trade the journey for an easy road.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Right now, I wear a few different hats, but at my core, I specialize in creating meaningful connections—whether through storytelling, leadership, or creativity.

I spent over 15 years in the staffing industry, leading teams and building client relationships at a high level. I became known for my ability to drive results while also developing people, helping them reach their full potential. That leadership experience gave me a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, and what it takes to bring out the best in others.

Now, as the host of I’m Not Finished (and formerly The Verbal Process Podcast), I focus on real, raw conversations that challenge perspectives and encourage growth. I love diving into topics that push people to think differently, embrace vulnerability, and ultimately love others better. What sets my podcast apart is its authenticity—no fluff, no filters, just honest discussions about the messy, beautiful parts of life.

What I’m most proud of is my willingness to evolve. I don’t stay stuck in what’s comfortable—I lean into new opportunities, take risks, and trust that each step is leading me exactly where I’m meant to be. Whether in leadership, podcasting, or entrepreneurship, what sets me apart is my ability to blend strategy with heart. I don’t just want to succeed—I want to make an impact.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
Some of my favorite childhood memories are from our trips to California. Every time we went, I felt something shift in me—I’d look out the window as we flew in, seeing the city stretch for miles, and I just knew I was connected to it in a way I couldn’t explain.

Los Angeles, specifically, felt like a place where creativity lived and breathed. Being there made my dreams of doing something creative feel real, like I wasn’t just imagining a future—I was seeing a glimpse of it. Whether it was walking through the city, feeling the energy, or just knowing so many people had built something from nothing there, it stuck with me.

Those trips weren’t just vacations; they planted something deeper. They made me realize that geography can inspire you, that certain places just feel like yours—and for me, LA was always that place.
