About me
My mission
Amber Bankson is a therapist and coach who works with leaders at a threshold, who may “have it all” ; and also aren’t enjoying their relationships, life or work, and don’t know why.
My why
From my time as Managing Director at Teach For America to founding member of a national startup, I understand the challenges, demands and pressures of achievement and performance.
Then, motherhood broke me open. Having twins made it impossible for me to continue operating as I previously had.
Something had to shift. I needed to stop performing my life and actually feel my aliveness.
I want the same for you.
I envision a world where your own clarity, purpose, and joy radiate through your relationships, your family AND your work.
That place where you are living at the center of your life instead of walking around the edges of it.
