Amanda Hirsch

Amanda Hirsch is obsessed with the stories we tell and why and how we tell them. As both an artist (writer, improv actor) and office-misfit-turned-entrepreneur (company: Mighty Forces), she is fueled by the desire to help people feel like they belong. She is the author of "Improvising Adulthood: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me" and "Feeling My Way: Finding Motherhood Without Losing Myself." Voted "most likely to host a talk show" and "most congenial" by her high school class (go Rockets!), she lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her husband Jordan, their daughter Ali, and their dog Clover, whom she enjoys impersonating.
