Getting to Know the LWB Leadership Team: Amanda Hays

     Hello! My name is Amanda Hays. I’ve been married to my husband, Bryce, for almost 7 years. Our spunky baby girl, Mae, is 8 months old. She makes everyday exciting and loves so beautifully. I’m originally from Midland, TX and I went to undergraduate and graduate school at Texas Tech University… Wreck ‘em!  We’ve lived in the Austin area for three years and, like most people who live here, we absolutely love it. I work full-time as a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist at a dialysis center. I love my job and find it incredibly rewarding. 

     Mae was born in January and turned our world upside down, then rolled it around some more. Despite every effort imaginable, breastfeeding ended within a month of her birth. She also had colic, and then I got hit with some pretty serious postpartum depression at about 6 weeks. The first three months of her life were the worst of mine. God never left my side and redeemed an incredibly difficult time. I’ll dive deeply into this journey through the blog at a later date ;)

     I have a passion to support and love other mothers, especially during those hard times.  Mothering is hard, yo! I also want to make sure working moms have a place where they can connect and be encouraged. 

     I’m an open book so please contact me if you ever want to talk. I’m so very glad you found this group and I hope to meet you some day!
