Meet Our Founder
Amy Polacko
Freedom Warrior Coach & Founder of Strong Savvy Women Community
Amy Polacko of Freedom Warrior coaching founded this group in 2020 to be a vibrant community for women. When Amy was first divorced she didn’t know many women like her – but started inviting them to meetings in her living room.
Strong Savvy Women was born there and then expanded online and in person at Hayvn, a women centered coworking space in Darien, Connecticut. Amy is a certified master coach who helps women take their power back during/after a divorce or toxic relationship. Book a complimentary 15-minute coaching consultation with her here!
