Meet the Team
Amanda Potter - Founder and CEO
Amanda Potter is a mum of two neurodivergent girls and a second year Bachelor of Nursing Science student. Outside of the charity, Amanda homeschools her eldest daughter, is a wife of 8 years and a bird mum to two Green Cheeked Conures. Amanda is passionate about raising awareness about schizophrenia and psychotic mental health disorders in mothers and breaking the stigma around them. As a woman living with schizoaffective disorder herself, she is an avid believer that recovery is possible and with the help of medication and a good support system, schizophrenic mothers can function and live a 'normal' life. Amanda also lives with ADHD and ASD (level 2) and is also passionate about navigating motherhood as a neurodivergent woman. Amanda hopes to one day do postgraduate studies in midwifery to help autistic mothers navigate pregnancy.
