Hi, I’m Amanda Pisetzner

I’m an Emmy Award-winning producer, Emmy nominated writer, teacher, and death doula.

In 2024 I founded Know Distractions.

Know Distractions is a gentle reminder to come home to oneself and one’s purpose, while leaving room for play and joy. After all, it’s not “No Distractions.”

I work with individuals to find clarity and meaning by supporting them through life’s most challenging transitions, particularly at the end of life, and by helping them explore the power of their own stories.

I also work with non-profits and campaigns to get clear on their audience, story, and opportunities for social impact.

Whether working one-on-one or with groups, my mission is to guide people and organizations toward meaningful storytelling, intentional action, and a deeper connection to their own lives and purpose. I do this with empathy, humor, and focus.

Feel free to poke around. I’m really happy you’re here!
