Amanda Gunville has worn many hats in her life—entrepreneur, consultant, mom, and now, cancer thriver. Her career has taken her from working with professional athletes to building companies and creating communities, but at the heart of it all has always been people. She has always believed in lifting others up, whether through business, volunteering, or simply being the friend who shows up when it matters most.

When Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, her world shifted overnight. Suddenly, all the business plans and boardrooms took a backseat to doctors’ appointments, treatment schedules, and the very real challenge of holding on to hope. She learned quickly that humor, honesty, and small moments of joy were as vital to her healing as any prescription.

Finding Hope & Joy in Cancer grew out of that season—a book filled with the stories, wisdom, and laughs she leaned on to get through. Amanda’s mission is simple: to remind anyone walking a similar road that they are not alone, that strength comes in many forms, and that even in the hardest times, joy has a way of showing up when you least expect it.
