Write Your Own Story - Meet my friend, Marcus Moorman

I first met Marcus nine years ago when he began services at my nonprofit, Puzzle Pieces. He had big goals for himself from day one, never letting his disability hold him back or stop him from dreaming. One of those dreams was to be on stage sharing his love for dance. Marcus connected with a local dance studio, where he was able to find a job and perform on stage in front of thousands of people. Marcus secured a second job at Great American Cookie Company, where he excels at customer service and cookie decorating. But Marcus’ biggest goal was to live independently. With the help of our team at Puzzle Pieces and Marcus’ dedication to learning the necessary life skills to make his dream happen, he moved into his own apartment. 

Don’t miss Marcus’ full story! His accomplishments are incredible and offer so much hope for parents raising a child with a disability. 

Hey, there. If you are new to my podcast, I’m Amanda and through my social media platform, Pieces of Me, I share my journey of being a sibling to someone with a rare disability, a founder and director of a nonprofit serving those with intellectual disabilities, and finding balance as a working mom, wife, and business leader.

Facebook or Instagram is a great way to connect with me! Just search @piecesofmebyamanda 

 – I would love to hear from you!

Check out my latest project, The Gratitude Journal, for moms raising children with a disability. This is a collaboration with mommas from across the globe – build your village and find joy in the hard through daily gratitude.

Check out my children’s book, Owen the Wonderer, that helps teach kids about differences and acceptance. And my Ebook that helps talks about the many emotions of being a sibling to someone with an intellectual disability. 

Oh, and don’t miss out on the be… collection – a line of intentional gifts that serve as a daily reminder for women to BE the person they are meant to be!

I also offer coaching sessions for families impacted by disabilities, for women wanting to align their purpose or for those interested in launching their own nonprofit.  Check out the coaching packages on www.piecesofme.org 

You might hear me talk about my health journey, only because I have discovered how we “fuel” our body is the key to “fueling” our purpose & dreams. I have figured out how to create more energy in order to keep dreaming and executing my vision, and I would love to share it with you.
