Living Your Life On Your Own Terms with Jaxx Amahle | According To B & Bernini

This episode of According to B is brought to you in partnership with Bernini - the sparkling spritzer born from real wine. So many women aren’t unhappy - they’re just on autopilot. Living lives they inherited, not ones they consciously chose. In this episode of According to B, I sit down with Amahle “Jaxx” Jaxa to talk about what it really looks like to move from survival mode into intentional authorship: shaping your work, relationships, and identity around what you actually want. Jaxx’s journey reminds us that choosing your life doesn’t always mean burning it all down. Sometimes it’s about editing with honesty, courage, and self-trust and giving yourself permission to become again and again. This episode forms part of the According to B x Bernini “Breathe It In” series - conversations centred on presence, reflection, and choosing life on your own terms. Watch, reflect, and join the conversation in the comments.
