Becoming NEXTonSCENE™

In 2019, Amy, an entrepreneur by nature, was turning 60 and her youngest was college-bound. She wanted to create a business helping women, who are naturally other-oriented, focus on themselves, especially as they faced the challenges of being empty nester moms. She created a program, Drive Your Life® to help women get into action. An empty nester mom herself, Amy knew the challenges firsthand and had the coaching experience and empathy to help other women create the best life possible during this new stage. Better Together is the third in a series of in person women’s events Amy has created to give women the opportunity to connect with others and expand their circle. Better Together is a unique event featuring 6 expert women to sharing their expertise in various fields and 12 women-owned businesses as event sponsors, some of whom are speakers.  Attendees connect, learn from the women presenting and are inspired by the entrepreneurs and their unique stories.  Amy started her first business at 26 when she opened ‘The Icing on the Cake’ a cake bakery in Newton, MA. At 53, after raising 3 children Amy found a passion helping others as a health coach. Now, at 64 Amy has truly created a way to impact women and help them enhance their lives.    follow Amy / Get in touch: www.amygoober.com
