About

Amanda Lee Kilby is KilbyOG, a writer and speaker, exploring grief, identity, and emotional agency through lived experience.

A bereaved mother, chronic disease champion, and cult survivor (yes, all true), I challenge the “fix-it culture” that tells us to quick-fix pain instead of growing with it and learning from it. My work invites readers and audiences to rethink what strength really looks like—less perfection, more truth.

Through my weekly Unfixed newsletter, thought-provoking talks, and social commentary, I explore how we rebuild self-trust after loss and lead with emotional honesty in a world obsessed with perfection.
