Build with Amanda McCombs, Mrs Daybreak 2025

Amanda McCombs is a fellow Mrs. Utah America pageant contestant, representing her community as Mrs. Daybreak. She is a resilient trauma survivor, nurturing (former) teacher, and a mom in an amazing blended family.  She is a podcast host, and is taking her time away from teaching to heal and learn how to live life all over again.

I loved sitting down with Amanda. She brings such depth to conversation and as we talk about, she helps me stay balanced. Having her as my pageant sister has been such a joy seeing her learn and be refined.

Enjoy listening to her thoughts on building it beautiful, but also how life sometimes gets in the way (like kids with questions) and how to gracefully accept all of who we are.
