Dr. Amanda Lewis-Yarbrough

04/30/2026

I’ve made a decision that feels both deeply personal and long overdue: I’ll be going by Dr. Amanda—no last name.

This isn’t about distancing myself from where I come from. It’s about choosing a name that reflects who I’ve become. My work, my journey, and the path it took to earn that “Dr.” are central to how I show up in the world.

Dropping my last name is, in many ways, an act of alignment. It allows me to be more approachable, more human, and more fully myself—while still honoring the years of dedication, study, and growth that shaped my work.

Names carry history, expectation, and identity. This one feels intentional. Grounded. Earned.

Same commitment. Same purpose. Just a name that fits.

So here I am: Dr. Amanda.

No excuses — 2026 and beyond.

I had a moment today and knew exactly what it meant… wellness reset.

So here I am at HOTWORX, getting it in for my mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

I’m putting these slides in sports mode lol 😅

Today I choose beauty, peace, and softness — not anger or frustration.

Showing up for myself every time. ✨🔥

Leaning into slower days lately—comfy clothes, messy bun, and wrapped in a blanket 🕊️

The past couple of weeks have been a meaningful pause to be present with the people I love and with God.

As a psychologist, I’m reminded that nervous system rest, connection, and stillness aren’t luxuries—they’re essential for well-being.

Spent just 1 hour today—only 4% of my day—focusing on my wellness. 🌿💪🏾🧠 Physically, mentally, and even a little socially (ish) ✅ Feeling recharged and reminded that small intentional moments can make a big difference.
