A risk taker.  In her own words, "I’m the wife to an incredible man, the mother of two beautiful children, and have successfully run my own photography business for more than 11 years, but I was suffering from severe anxiety that left me broken, hopeless, and digging myself into a darkness. I felt invisible and defeated. Little did I know that three small words on a card I was gifted would change my life."

Meet Christa! She's a wife, mother of 3 and an unexpected entrepreneur who spent most of her life seeking approval and permission from others. In 2018 she entered on a journey to reclaim her freedom both professionally and physically. She owns the Amish Connection custom  furniture store, a landscaping business, delivery service and development company. Christ says, "I love Jesus, our in-town acreage, singing/performing, tedious tasks, warm days outdoors, bonfires with beers and laughing at the little things with friends."

Her life is vastly different than it was and I'm thrilled that she's going to be speaking at Vulnerably You in March.

I have LOVED getting to know Amber and you will, too!

Amber Gale is a corporate professional, writer, cookie designer, wife, mother, and then some. When her second child was born with life-threatening special needs, it became clear to her that parents of medical and special needs children are often overwhelmed and undersupported. Combining her corporate planning skills with her love of spreadsheets, office supplies, and personal development, she embarked on a mission to make a difference. She founded MORE for Caregivers, an organization for individuals who are on complex parenting journeys to provide the resources and support they need to take care of themselves while also taking care of their families. Amber is also a contributing writer for The Mighty and the voice behind AaronAndAmbersFamily.com, a resource and advocacy blog where she shares her family's story.
