✨ Meet Author Amanda Griffith-Atkins at The Hideaway ✨
We are beyond excited to welcome Amanda Griffith-Atkins, MS, LMFT—therapist, author, and one of the most relatable voices on Instagram—to The Apricity Hideaway on Saturday, September 13 (10 AM–2 PM)!
Amanda is flying in from Chicago just to meet Apricity Hope Project moms and dads. Her debut book, "How to Handle More Than You Can Handle: Caring for Yourself While Raising a Disabled Child", is quickly becoming the go-to manual for parents navigating this wild, beautiful, and complicated life.
🌟 Event Highlights 10 AM | Book Signing – Meet Amanda, grab your signed copy, and connect with other caregivers who get it.
✨ First 25 to register will receive a FREE copy of the book!
✨Coffee + Conversation – Settle in with Amanda and Suz Geoghegan (AHP founder, TEDx speaker, and host of the When Autumn Comes podcast) for an honest, heart-lifting conversation about caregiving, identity, and hope.
Lunch Included – Delicious food, laughter, and easy connection—because no caregiver should eat alone.
Afternoon Hideaway Time – Relax your way: curl up in a hammock, lounge on the dock, sip iced coffee, or read with a view.
Stay until 2 PM to soak up the calm.
