Amri Kibbler knows all about the challenges working mothers face, and the community they need to engage, support and empower them. In 2014, Amri, the Chief Community Officer of
HeyMama, and her cofounder Katya Libin, set out to create what was missing in their own lives as new moms, a social network where women could celebrate both motherhood and their careers. And, it turns out, that was just the beginning of Amri’s learnings on what community meant to her as a working mom. In the years since, she’s faced a cancer diagnosis, hard decisions with her kids, and more.
In this conversation with Tiffany, Amri shares her philosophy for making tough decisions for your family (including a frank conversation on when each of them feel OK disappointing their kids) to managing stress in unexpected times of trial without becoming a victim to it.

What is Life of And?
The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process.
If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to take a breath, get real, and find your way back to your own Life of And.
