About this Space
I’ve used this space before to tell parts of my story — adoption, family, growth, and change. I’m writing here again because there are still things worth naming, and because language matters when life feels layered or overwhelming. Here you’ll find reflective essays about:
The Stories We Live By
The narratives we repeat in our heads, and how they shape what we believe is true.
Finding the Right Words
Naming what’s real when it feels complicated, tender, or hard to explain.
Clear Communication
Turning big, blurry thoughts into words that connect instead of perform.
Honest Faith
Turning big, blurry thoughts into words that connect instead of perform.

Hi, I’m Amanda!
I am a communicator and lifelong translator of ideas into language people can actually carry.
My work sits at the intersection of life and communication: helping make sense of what we’re experiencing, and finding words that are honest, grounded, and useful. This blog holds both personal reflection and the thinking that shapes how I show up in the world.
Some writing here is personal. Some is practical. All of it is written from real life.
