About
When Boots Back Home came about, it was designed as a community to bring weary, wild-haired, bamboozled mama’s together.
The more that it was unpacked, pulled apart, and related to our journey, it evolved into a space sharing our introduction and experience within the ADF, and a resource hub for new defence partners.
We’ve lived the ‘asset’ life since 2014 when my husband joined the Police Force–he’s since transitioned to the RAAF and my passion for self care, compassion and grace grew rapidly, and has now been turned into an online destination that’s more than just a blog; we’re building a community. Whether you’re looking for understanding, guidance, or a way to support fellow defence families, you’ve found your space.
My Story
Well, hello you delightful creature.
I’m Amber, and I am super stoked you’re here! I am a mama of 2 boys earthside, a self care + kindness advocate, therapy human to our German Shepherd, and wife to an incredibly patient and goodlooking human.
I have an unhealthy appreciation for the power of good coffee and fab earrings, and an unhealthy addiction for over sized t-shirts.
You’ll often find me with a cuppa in hand watching the clouds out at the clothes line (let’s be real here), or dabbling in some crazy idea I had at 2:12 this morning about a new strategy for a client, places to explore, another podcast topic.. (I am that physical definition of #57TabsOpen).
That’s it for the fun stuff! I’m a pretty open book. We’ve seen rock bottom, & we’ve also seen the horizon, so please – never feel like you’re alone. If you have anything you’d like to share with us or get in front of our community, please get in touch.
We’d love to hear from you.
Let’s work together!
