Hello, I’m Amanda
Welcome to Claiming Life, a women’s lifestyle blog celebrating elegance, intentional living, and the joy of discovering the world around us. Here, I share inspiration for women who want to embrace fashion, travel, home décor, wellness, soft life, and the pleasures of intentional living — all while learning, growing, and living fully.
My Story
As an English teacher, Montessori educator, bereavement counselor, mom, and author of three books, I’ve seen how curiosity, reflection, and personal growth can transform lives. That same spirit guides this blog: combining thoughtful storytelling, lifestyle inspiration, and practical tips to help women create beautiful, meaningful lives.
What You’ll Find on Claiming Life
From curated fashion pieces and style inspiration, to travel guides and personal reflections, to home décor ideas that bring serenity and elegance into your space, Claiming Life is a place to explore, dream, and be inspired.
I celebrate the soft life — moments of calm, beauty, and intentional living that help us slow down and enjoy life fully.
I also share personal growth insights and reflections inspired by women throughout history, empowering readers to claim life boldly and gracefully. Each journey — whether a trip through a new city, a styling project, or a thoughtful moment at home — teaches us something about ourselves and the world.
