About Amy Stroth
TRIGGER WARNING: Bio mentions SA and child abuse.
At a very young age, I became very aware how different I was from my Family. I began shrinking myself to fit it. Keeping my needs quiet, in order to, manage my alcoholic mother’s emotions. The survival skills I learned to keep myself safe had to be unlearned as a young adult. It was when I went to college, that I slowly began to find my confidence. I finally fit In somewhere. But even then, I hid my true self and the horror of what I experienced as a child. The Neglect and sexual abuse was smothered away with material things, out of fear and being judged by my peers.
During my 20’s I realized when I was working was when I felt best. Making goals and having money distracted me and kept the bad memories stuffed. I owned a 4 bed 4 bath house by myself by the time I was 30. The obsession of work put me in all the right places and I owned 3 companies by my 40’s. But I still always felt like there was something missing. In the midst of all the success, the Pandemic Struck. I was forced to stay home and not work for the first time since the 5th grade. This is when I discovered TikTok and began following some Creators that would change my life forever. This inspiration allowed me to start speaking about my own Trauma. My personal goal was: if I helped one person, just one, then it would all be worth it. And for the first time, I finally believed that my voice deserved to be heard. Finally, being able to value myself, lead me to create a safe space for other Survivors.
Through my journey, speaking out … healing out loud, I have developed a partnership with the Corner House in MN, which is a Globally recognized Child Advocacy Center. I now live for ME, without fears and shame. I am a proud wife and mother of 2 amazing kids. Who have healed me in so many ways. I never had a “Mom,” - now I get to be a mom. A good one. I Changed everything about my Life and Broke The Cycle. My goal is to help others Break the Cycle too, so they don’t have to feel alone like I did.
