Amy Jaramillo
Amy Jaramillo is a writer, emotional mirror, and truth-teller who built her career at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and lived experience. She began her professional journey working with at-risk youth, where she first uncovered her rare ability to name what others only feel, reflect emotional truth without judgment, and turn silent pain into language.
As a somatic empath, Amy doesn’t just understand emotion - she feels it. Grief registers in her chest, fear in her gut, and dissonance in her throat. Long before she had words for it, her body was translating what others left unspoken. It’s what made her trusted in rooms of crisis and transformation - and what made her dangerous to the systems that rely on silence.
When she transitioned into Human Resources, Amy brought those same gifts - intuitive leadership, emotional precision, and a deep-rooted sense of integrity - into corporate spaces that were never built for people like her. She led teams, set boundaries, and told the truth out loud - only to be met with dismissal, gaslighting, and fragile hierarchies designed to keep power unchallenged.
She quickly saw the pattern: emotional intelligence was praised until it disrupted authority. Then it became a threat.
Amy spent years navigating performance culture, power dynamics, and the quiet grief of being underestimated. But it wasn’t until her own collapse - through motherhood, betrayal, and buried trauma - that she stopped performing and started telling the truth without apology.
Her debut memoir, Memoir of a Mirror, is not a self-help book. It’s a reckoning. A raw, unfiltered account of what happens when the strong one breaks. Through it, Amy offers not advice - but reflection. The kind that demands you see yourself clearly, maybe for the first time.
Now, Amy is the founder of her own emotional clarity and leadership consultancy, created for those who are done contorting themselves to fit inside systems that were never meant to hold them. She works with people who are ready to lead from wholeness - not from survival.
Her work sits at the edge of memoir and movement, bridging emotional truth, body-based wisdom, and systemic insight. She is building a new emotional language - one that validates complexity, centers the body, and calls people back to themselves.
Amy writes for the feelers. The fixers. The ones who always held it all together - until they finally couldn’t.
Her voice is not here to comfort. It’s here to cut through the noise. Interrupt the performance. And bring you home to your truth.
