The Goodness Gain Story
The Goodness Gain started as an idea that had been brewing in my head for nearly a decade. In 2025, I lost two beloved grandparents and spent a lot of time reflecting on their legacies.
I was fixated on what good, full lives they created and started asking myself a lot of questions. Does my life align with my values? Am I intentional with the choices I’m making? Will I be proud of the life I’ve lived?
So, I began a quest to add more positivity and intention to my days, and The Goodness Gain came to life. It’s a work-in-progress, but I believe small changes can have big impacts. It’s never too late to change your mindset and circumstances.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
I’m the face behind The Goodness Gain and a mom of two living in Tennessee. I’ve been passionate about writing since I could grip a pencil. Reading and writing stories were my escapes as a kid growing up in small-town Iowa.
I started my career as a biologist working in the agriculture industry, but circumstances and opportunities led me back to writing. Life always comes full circle, and I find that the creativity from my childhood is still very much alive. When I’m not pounding on my keyboard, you’ll find me with a good book, sipping a hot coffee or exploring outdoors.
Thanks for joining me on this journey to add more intention and joy to my life. My goal is to grow a community of like-minded goodness gainers to encourage and support each other.
