Start Here: About Type A Mom's Trusted Tips
This newsletter is to help parents set themselves up for success, written by a Type A Mom of 3 who loves to share what she's learned through trial and error plus research. Read sample posts here😀
Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’d love to be your Type A Mom friend.
I have a background in the behind-the-scenes of movie making, I have three kids (ages 6, 10, and 12), and I’m a “Type A” personality, which means I love doing deep dives to figure out what works best, and what systems can be created, for almost everything.
As your Type A Mom friend, I’ll merge those three elements together to help us all navigate modern day parenting issues, so we can spend less time focusing on the busywork of parenting and more time on the joy of parenting 🥰
Every Sunday I send out the free newsletter “Type A Mom’s Trusted Tips” to share tips that simplify the work of parenting, share musings on modern parenting, and share curated suggestions of what I’ve found to be truly helpful to parenting.
Sometimes I explicitly explain how the organizational and grace-under-pressure skills I learned while making movies in Hollywood apply to parenting work. Sometimes I write all about my experience parenting three kids aged 12, 10, and 6 (aka a lot of trial-and-error and real-world stories). Sometimes my writing is clearly me approaching parenting work from my “Type A” personality. And sometimes my writing blends all of that together.
My goal is for every newsletter to offer helpful (not prescriptive!) ideas to help free up your time, so you can spend more of it with your kids.
What’s in a typical newsletter? Here are some articles I’ve sent out on Sundays:

The Hollywood Tool I Use After Every Event: the post-event wrap up system I learned on set that helps my future self again and again

All the newsletters I write are meant to help us be proactive (not reactive) parents, and to help our future selves.
Subscribe below and I’ll send articles like those straight to your inbox every Sunday!
Also, the newsletter will always remain free. But, if you’d like more hands-on support, paid subscribers get access to The Production Suite: an exclusive monthly to-do list, a live walkthrough of that plus Q&A twice a month, a paid-only chat, and all of my checklists, templates, and digital resources in one place.
Thank you for having me as part of your parenting village!
❤️, Amanda, your Type A Mom friend
