I work with women who have reached the top of their field — and are standing at a quieter, more complicated threshold.


You've built the career.

You hold the authority.

But the old ways of using your voice no longer fit.

The formulas are exhausted.

The expectations feel narrow.

And something essential is asking to come through next.

About

I'm Amanda Bray. I've spent nearly 20 years inside editorial systems and publication strategy, working with NYT bestselling authors, media platforms and senior leaders during moments when what they said publicly mattered.

I'm also a certified meditation instructor with an active contemplative practice since 2013.

My work integrates analytical precision with intuitive intelligence — helping women make grounded decisions when the stakes are real.
