AMY NEARY
Badass Two-Time Cancer Thriver & Adversity Keynote Speaker
In a world where adversity often tests the limits of human resilience, Amy Neary stands as a remarkable testament to the power of courage, gratitude, and unwavering determination. As a two-time cancer thriver, Amy's journey is nothing short of inspirational, and her story has ignited a movement of shared momentum.
Amy's journey began with a shocking lung cancer diagnosis in October 2019, despite her youth, great health, and being a non-smoker. What followed were moments of fear and uncertainty, especially when an attempted surgery revealed unexpected disease progression. As a mother of three young children, the road ahead seemed daunting. However, Amy chose not to surrender to despair. With unwavering determination, she embarked on a journey to confront her fears, anxiety and uncertainty head-on. On December 14, 2021, Amy completed her 28th round of chemotherapy and achieved stability, earning her the title from one of her doctor’s as an "extreme survivor."
Unfortunately lung cancer can be sneaky, and 7 months later, a nearly two-inch tumor and over 30 lesions were discovered in her brain. Amy's response was nothing short of extraordinary. Following a seizure at home, she underwent an emergency craniotomy with unmatched courage and declared herself a "badass." This defining moment crystallized her commitment to turn her business dream into a reality. Amy started Share the Momentum to encourage us all to shift fear to courage, face adversity with gratitude and propel adversity to action.
Amy Neary's story is one of triumph over adversity—a testament to the human spirit's indomitable will to rise above life's greatest challenges. Amy understands challenges, empowers clear action, and inspires you to overcome.
