Hi, I’m Amanda

I walk alongside women who have given so much of themselves… and are ready to feel like themselves again.

In this space, you’ll find articles from different phases of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood, along with simple wellness support and encouragement for the season you’re in.

My hope is that something here helps you reconnect with your body, trust yourself again, and take the next step forward—one small step at a time.





Empowered Birthing Mamas is more than a birth community... it’s a space for women walking through pregnancy, postpartum, and the evolving journey of motherhood. A place to ask questions, share openly, and feel supported without judgment.

Here you’ll find encouragement, simple tools, and real conversations to help you trust yourself, navigate your choices, and feel more like yourself again.

You are seen here.
You are supported here.
And you don’t have to walk this alone.

Meet Amanda...

 
Hey, I'm Amanda!

I'm a wife, homeschooling mom of four, longtime women's advocate, and a woman learning in real time what it looks like to put myself back on my own priority list.

My journey into advocacy began through infertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, where I learned just how important it is for women to ask questions, understand their options, and know that their voice matters.

Today, that advocacy has expanded into the conversations I'm living myself—motherhood, health and wellness, faith, self-advocacy, and finding our way back to ourselves after years of taking care of everyone else.

I don't have it all figured out, and I don't pretend to. I'm here to share what I'm learning, ask better questions, find answers, and remind other women that we don't have to walk any of it alone.

If you're figuring some of this out too, pull up a chair. There's room for you here.
