She’s a speaker and corporate trainer who teaches companies like Google, Under Armour, and NBC how to grow mentally stronger. Amy’s personal journey with grief (she lost her mother at 23, became a widow at 26, and lost her father-in-law shortly after), inspired her to take a deep dive into what it takes to build mental strength.
