Nonprofit Lowdown

#339- Stepping Into Consulting with Amber Buck Hamilton


Listen Later

I got to chat with my friend and former student Amber Buck Hamilton, founder of Fig Leaf Development and a total rockstar in the fundraising world.


We talked about:

✅ Why she left her high-level nonprofit job to start her own consulting biz

✅ How burnout, family, and values drove her decision

✅ What it really feels like to take the leap (spoiler: terrifying AND amazing)

✅ That pesky imposter syndrome

✅ And why there’s more than enough work to go around


Amber is proof that you can build a career that aligns with your life and your purpose. If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting your own thing but feel overwhelmed by the “what ifs,” this episode is for you.


It’s honest, real, and packed with gems.
