A Leader Shaped by Life, Not Just Leadership
Amy didn’t set out to become an Executive Director.
Or a founder.
Or a public voice in national conversations about women, homelessness, and trauma-informed leadership.
She stepped into the work because she believed women deserved safety, dignity, and a place to land when everything else had fallen apart. Over seven years, she grew a small-but-urgent idea into a seven-figure nonprofit, expanded services for women and families, and became a trusted leader across Louisville’s social-impact ecosystem.
But during those same years, she was navigating her own private transitions — motherhood, grief, identity shifts, neurodivergent self-discovery, and the quiet work of rebuilding a self she hadn’t met yet.
The leadership lessons that changed her most weren’t found in conference rooms or strategic plans.
They were found in:
the moments she questioned herself
the seasons she grew beyond her former identity
the grief she carried
the truths she uncovered
the boundaries she rebuilt
the self-trust she fought to reclaim
This is the wisdom she brings into her writing, her speaking, and her work with women and leaders today.
