S5 Ep:04 The Break-In That Backfired: My...

Amanda Frances
About this episode

In this deeply personal and unexpected episode of And She Rises the F*ck Up*, Amanda Frances shares the wild, surreal, and ultimately miraculous story of a home invasion that took place while she was traveling. From FaceTiming with the police in the middle of the night to making a public statement while news crews camped outside her home, Amanda walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of processing a traumatic event—her way.

Despite the chaos, there’s a twist: the burglars prioritized what they thought was the most valuable item in her home… only to realize later it was prop money from a recent Money Mentality Makeover photoshoot. Talk about karma.

Through it all, Amanda reflects on what this experience has reinforced for her about trusting her instincts, using resources wisely, and knowing that in the end, she always wins.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • How the burglary unfolded and what was taken (and not taken)
  • The insane moment the burglars unknowingly prioritized fake money
  • How Amanda handled the immediate aftermath while media swarmed her house
  • Why this event is accelerating her move out of LA
  • A reminder that your power isn’t in what happens to you, but how you respond

 

Favorite Quotes from the Episode:

  1. “Try to rob my house, I still win. That’s our power. That’s what we get to know, believe, and live by. In the end, I win.”
  2. “No matter what happens, I refuse to see myself as a victim. I choose to believe in miracles, in karma, and in the fact that everything—even this—is working out in my favor.”
  3. “Money is a resource, and I will use it to protect myself, my family, and my peace. That’s what wealth is for.”

 

Cool Shit & Next Steps:

 

Remember, loves: No matter what life throws at you, you get to decide what you make of it. You get to rise, rebuild, and move forward—stronger, wiser, and even more unstoppable.

All the Love,

Team AF
