Hey! I’m Amber and I am so glad you’re here! As a true INFJ, enneagram 2, and anxious perfectionist I am going to do my best to introduce myself without solely relying on the roles that I play on the daily. But honestly I don’t know how else to begin.

I am a wife and mom of two (three if you count our pup). Dan, Jack, Molly, Lulu, and I have built a life and home that I am really proud of. I was a stay at home mom for ten years. Before that I was a high school English teacher which feels like a separate life. I never ever thought I would be a stay at home mom, and yet I spent a decade as one! During that time I had stretches of great joy and happiness and belonging and others of isolation and desperation. I have explored so many outlets to help me feel more grounded and fulfilled: childcare, homeschooling, book studies, even Lularoe (something I may or may not ever get into here in this space). But none really satisfied my craving for connection and purpose.

In 2020, right as Covid was beginning, my youngest daughter, Molly, was diagnosed with leukemia. This shifted my reality in ways I am still uncovering and processing. The grief and emotional trauma is ongoing, and yet I am still continuing to find ways to take the next step and do the next right thing (cue Anna’s voice). That entire experience is largely what led me back to writing and ultimately here to this space. You will never ever hear me say that everything happens for a reason, especially when talking about my daughter, but I do believe it is possible for good to come out of some pretty shitty circumstances. This blog and my reignited passion for writing are absolutely some of those good things. This space is also fulfilling that need for connection and purpose I mentioned before in ways I could have never ever predicted. Life is wild.

I am also a daughter and sister to two of my favorite people on this earth. I am a friend to a small, intensely loyal and supportive group. I am a writer. And now, I am a coach. Despite all of these roles I am mostly just trying to figure out how to be human again.

I have five tattoos. I love waking up really early to do my morning routine. I do a happy dance every time I eat ice cream. I can’t say no to a great jumpsuit. I am obsessed with storytelling in basically any and all forms. My favorite candy is a Take 5 or Nerd Gummies. I am more excited about my business than I’ve been about anything else in a very long time.
