E78 - Amy Shaw - Keynote Speaker, Author, Coach, & Contemporary Artist

Amy Shaw never set out to become an expert in navigating life’s hardest seasons, but through profound personal loss she gained deep insight into resilience, rebuilding, and purposeful living. She learned how to move forward with clarity, strength, and hope when circumstances offered no easy answers.

Today, Amy is a keynote speaker, author, coach, and contemporary artist who brings both compassion and perspective to her work. Her expertise is shaped by years of navigating caregiving, loss, leadership, and rebuilding—both personally and professionally—and by walking alongside others through seasons of grief, transition, strained relationships, financial pressure, and overwhelming family challenges. She helps people gain clarity, regain footing, and move forward with purpose.

Known for her warmth, creativity, and grounded presence, Amy brings depth, joy, and an unmistakable sense of life to everything she does. Her work is shaped by faith, lived experience, and a deep belief that even in the most difficult seasons, meaningful growth and lasting impact are possible.

About the Podcast

Heroes in Grief
Inspiring people who have done purposeful things with their grief.
I am a bereaved father, a bereaved son, a bereaved brother & a bereaved friend. Listening to other people's stories of how they cope with their death losses has almost always given me useful tools to use in my journey.
The purpose of Heroes in Grief is the same. It is my sincere hope that hearing the remarkable things that grieving people have done to honor their loved ones, or maybe just to cope will encourage you as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
