About Amy
Amy Scott Rooker speaks about trauma, identity collapse, and the unexpected ways healing begins. A former corporate attorney and tech executive, she shares the personal journey behind her memoir My Mother Is a Dragonfly—and the deeper questions it raises about grief, awakening, and what it means to rebuild a life that is truly your own. Blending storytelling, insight, and lived experience, her talks resonate with audiences navigating loss, transformation, or the quiet sense that the life they’ve built may not be the life they are meant to live.
