Amy has an eclectic array of experiences, including her own story, that lends to her authority on topics such as parenting through transitions, empty nesting, reinvention, confidence, expat travel, and identifying your authentic self. She uses her positive approach to encourage people to be the best version of themselves.

As a former journalist turned ‘trailing spouse’ staying home to raise her children, Amy's voice and action-oriented advice allow people to move the needle on their journey and make positive changes in their relationships. Through countless reinventions, at the age of 49, she knew there was more to do, so she launched her brand and podcast, Fearlessly Facing Fifty. Amy is a national keynote speaker, moderator, workshop presenter, and panelist.
