About Amy
Motivational Speaker | Best-Selling Author
While living the past decade with a broken neck that went undetected for six months, I learned to Polish the Mirror of my life, and created a Framework that turned my disability into an ability to help others.
My mission, as a former educator, administrator, and social worker, is to inspire and empower heart-centered individuals, schools and businesses within their local communities to work more effectively together for the betterment of all.
In 2014, through a devastating fall to the hardwood floor, I suffered a sheared brain stem, traumatic brain injury, and broken neck that went undetected for 6 months. For the first year after the accident, I had to lie flat for 23 hours daily when I was not receiving medical care, completely missing my children’s lives. I prayed to die and planned to end my life.
Imagine the resilience it took for me to reinvent myself.
In June of 2022, I began working with a cosmetics and skincare company and within 7 months, I was invited to share my story by speaking on stage at their annual convention.
By sharing my personal renewal journey of resilience and transformation, I aim to provide hope and guidance, teaching you to overcome adversity, Polish the Mirror of your life, connecting with your soul, and letting your true light shine.
Through the profound lessons I've gained from living the past decade with a broken neck, I am dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals to overcome adversity, embrace self-discovery, and unleash their inner strength, fostering a compassionate and supportive environment, encouraging everyone to write their own stories.
I am known for my courage and determination, but as a motivational speaker, I am also great at bringing people together, creating a team mentality, teaching, and leading others.
Ignite the spark within your organization, company, group, or school with a captivating speaker who delves into the transformative power within each of us; the true essence of learning to Polish the Mirror – becoming a catalyst for profound and lasting change, for ourselves and for others.

It's Time to Get to Know Yourself
Have you ever felt like there’s more to you than what you’re living right now? Like maybe you’re just scratching the surface of who you’re truly meant to be? That’s why I created this free version of The Mirror Collective.
This isn’t just another self-help program, it’s a raw, transformative journey that I created to help you uncover your most authentic self and step into the life you’re meant to live.
While it will be fun, we’ll also work through questions that make you think, exercises that challenge you, and reflections that help you see yourself in a whole new way. By the end, you’ll have your very own personal mission statement, a guiding light that will touch every area of your life.
Not gonna lie, this process can get uncomfortable. But trust me, the growth and freedom on the other side are so worth it.
Join us for FREE today!
We typically know more about others than we do ourselves, and I’m going to change that this year through The Mirror Collective - a group of people who are embarking on a journey of looking inward and discovering one’s true self.
If you’d like to join us for free, grab a journal or device and register below before February 2, 2025.
