Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a writer, researcher, creative community-builder, freelance coach, crocheter, baker, career experimenter, and US Midwesterner.

I write Mandaroo Stack, essays about career dread and liminality, creative purpose, and learning to delight in my life again. 🧡

After a decade in marketing, I’m burnt out and disillusioned, so I’m on the path to find work that I love — and along the way, I’m finding that lots of others are in that same boat, too.

If you’re in the “no longer and not yet” of your career, want to re-find your creative spark, or are falling in love with your life, drop your deets below; I wanna follow along with you!
