She dealt with a broken neck, sheared brainstem and TBI for over ten years (that went undetected for over six months!). Amy was bedridden, a shell of her former self.

Amy will share how she was able to push aside the victim mentality and find a space where she truly thrived. If you've felt that life is simply too tough to handle, Amy's got some advice for you.
From her website, getamyshelp.com:
For over a decade, Amy Thurman lived with a broken neck, a sheared brainstem, and a traumatic brain injury, undiagnosed for six months. That experience almost shattered her and caused her to end her life. Instead, it became a doorway. Not just to healing, but to something deeper: a calling she couldn’t ignore.
After spending nearly a year bedridden and battling hopelessness, Amy made a life-altering decision: To stop trying to become who she used to be, and start uncovering who she was always meant to be.
Through that journey of radical resilience, reinvention, and healing, she created the Polish the Mirror™ Framework, a transformational path designed to help others release fear, reconnect with their truth, and live with deep authenticity.
Today, Amy doesn’t just inspire people, she reintroduces them to themselves. She has a gift for helping others see through the noise, the roles, and the expectations, to reconnect with the version of themselves they’ve forgotten. She holds up a mirror, not to reflect who they’ve become, but to remind them of who they’ve always been.
Amy is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, educator, and visionary known for helping individuals, teams, and communities move from fear-based survival to authentic, purpose-driven living.
Through her groundbreaking frameworks, Polish the Mirror™ and the S.P.A.C.E. Method, Amy guides people back to themselves through the radical, healing power of Holding Space. First, she models it. Then, she teaches it. Because true transformation begins when you stop trying to fix yourself, and finally start meeting yourself with compassion, clarity, and presence.
Her work empowers people to uncover their worth, lead with confidence, and create meaningful, lasting impact, personally and professionally.
Known for her out-of-the-box thinking, heart-centered strategies, and mirror-like presence, Amy’s mission is both simple and powerful: To help people remember who they are, reclaim their voice, and lead lives of deep authenticity and joy.
