Getting to Know Amy
Who Am I?
For much of my life, I would have answered that question by sharing my title or role. I spent more than twenty years as an executive working across Administration, Operations, IT, and HR. I led teams, solved complex problems, managed large scale projects, and navigated constant change.
In 2017, everything I thought I knew about myself was disrupted by a ruptured brain aneurysm. What followed has been a nine year (and counting) recovery journey that required rebuilding my life, my mind and body, and ultimately, redefining who I am from the ground up.
It was in that messy middle, while sitting with questions like “Who am I now?” and “Am I still worthy?” that I discovered my life’s true path.
As I worked to heal, I realized something important - the tools that supported my recovery (a deep dive into neuroscience, the daily practice of emotional regulation, and the work of reclaiming my own agency) were not unique to my experience. These are the very tools EVERYONE needs to navigate the challenges of being human.
