Meet Amy Beth Miller

Founder of Expat Resilience

I’ve spent over eight years living in Europe and Asia, traveling extensively through Europe, Africa, and Asia—with a special soft spot for Ireland. I understand the challenges, frustrations, excitement, and growth that come with living and working overseas (and returning home).

Professionally, I’ve designed and facilitated debriefing courses for hundreds of expats, and I’m a certified coach with two decades of experience in communication and graphic design.

For fun? I love science fiction and British murder mysteries, enjoy tea and biscuits (thanks, Ireland!), and once spent a summer on an archaeology dig in Jordan. I also have a very affectionate Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Winston.

Most of all, I love seeing people embrace their personal agency and feel empowered to move forward with hope and a plan.

I founded Expat Resilience because I believe expats have experiences—once they are identified, integrated, and leveraged—that equip them to be people who build bridges and make the world a better place.

In college spent a summer in Jordan on an archaeological dig. I loved learning about both the modern and ancient culture there!

This was the second place we lived in Dublin and created great memories as a young family.

I enjoyed being a young mom in Ireland. Going to parks and cafes and bookstores were some of our favorite outings.

We lived in this house for two years in Southeast Asia. So many lovely memories mixed with challenges and struggles.

Learning language was like a part-time job the first two years we lived in Southeast Asia. I'm smiling here, but there were many moments of frustration (and embarrassment!)

Our youngest at the time, the little guy in the yellow shirt, loved to explore and lead the way.

When we lived in Southeast Asia, one of our favorite places to visit on a day off was a waterfall not too far out of town from where we lived. It was important for us to have familiar "special places" when we lived abroad.

Here's my family not long before we left Southeast Asia.

After my husband died, our family visited Ireland and spent time at the Cliffs of Moher—one of his favorite places. I got to walk down memory lane of the four years we spent in Ireland.

My kids all have a love a traveling (probably because they did it so much when they were younger). My son and I enjoyed traveling around Italy—it was a real "trains, planes, and automobiles" experience.
