Amanda is a passionate collector, and sharer of stories. As a professional listener, she has heard more than her share of true stories about defying potentially unsurmountable odds, and clinging on to the sometimes foolish feeling of hope. She is most often a keeper of the light for others, at times; she holds it for them until they are able to grasp it again, move forward, and shine on. Whether her lived experiences, or those of family, friends, or a random stranger, she is continually inspired by stories of triumph, overcoming of unthinkable adversity, and the resiliency of the human spirit. Amanda is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Dance/Movement Therapist turned Screenwriter, Author, and Professional Speaker based in Texas.
