Amy Lawrence

Amy Lawrence is a coach, bestselling author, and founder of Standing Spouses and Gourmet Done Skinny. She is dedicated to empowering women, whether they’re navigating the heartbreak of a husband’s midlife crisis or the frustration of serving bland, uninspired meals, to reclaim confidence, strength, and joy in their lives.

Drawing from her own personal journey, advanced degrees in education and behavior modification, and decades of entrepreneurial success, Amy blends science, mindset, and practical tools with her signature warmth and creativity. Through her Standing Spouses Resilient Hearts program, she guides wives in building resilience and thriving through crisis. Through her Gourmet Done Skinny blog and meal-planning system, she teaches home cooks how to craft healthy, gourmet meals that are flavorful, healthy, and life-changing.

A former special education teacher turned entrepreneur, Amy has owned an award-winning tea company, managed a successful tearoom, written more than fourteen books, taught at international food and tea festivals, and been featured on podcasts and panels with industry leaders. Her teaching, coaching, and storytelling all carry the same thread: helping others rise above struggle and step into strength.

Born in Germany and raised as a military brat, Amy has lived across the U.S. and Europe, and her travels have shaped her passion for resilience, growth, and possibility. Today, she makes her home in the Pacific Northwest, where she continues to write, coach, cook, and inspire women to believe in healing, hope, and a life they love.
