Amanda Florczykowski

Founder and Chief Visionary Officer

Amanda is an intrinsic lover of people and progress. She has five fun kids whom she online schools and one smoking hot husband (the only person who dreams bigger than she does) who helps her manage their big, fat, Polish+Italian family. Amanda loves, loves, loves the peace of sunsets and would watch them tirelessly from the shoreline of any beach or her tree-lined drive of overhanging leafy limbs. Maybe what makes her unique? She is ½ way to neuroscientist and graduates with her master's in May, she loves the rain, and hates coffee! She revels at discovery; a new restaurant, a great story-telling movie, money in her pocket, new words, new friends, or stumbling upon a killer sale. She loves gathering all people around any table for good food or board games. She believes Jesus built us all for His good pleasure, so the love of quick wit, laughter, and joy are what get her out of bed and help her write great books. Her AMI team is her “other family” and the moms she serves fill her heart. She is motivated first by Jesus, who then motivates her to passionately support family, freedom, and pro-manumission advocacy.

Evin
Weir

Chief Executive Officer

Evin is an empathetic friend who loves learning and connecting with others. She is the mom of two fabulous children and married to her middle school sweetheart, who undoubtedly is her better half.  Evin loves a good cup of coffee and a good book- but most days you can find her in an antique store. An old soul at heart, she loves finding treasures from long ago.  A self proclaimed ‘home body’ Evin’s favorite place to be is at home with her family. If she does have to travel, she’s always going to look up museums in the area; this is due to her love of learning and teacher nature that she may never get rid of. 
Her true passion is serving women, moms in particular, to find their full worth and identity in Christ. Following Jesus has been her favorite lifelong journey, and reading her Bible and encouraging other moms is what gets her out of bed in the morning. 
While Evin seeks harmony in all of her relationships and ventures, she knows that only true unity is found thru Christ. Surrounded by her AMI Team, she feels emboldened to continue leading the charge to strengthen the family unit.

Evenings spent by the crackling fire, enveloped in warmth and contentment, are among her most treasured moments.

Alana
Hakes

Communications Director

Alana embodies the spirit of a country girl, finding joy in walks on her childhood ranch under the sun. She embraces the life she once dreamed of, thriving as a mother of four vibrant children and the wife of a dedicated man. With her unique blend of history and sci-fi interests, she finds delight in a crisp Dr. Pepper or salted dark chocolate. Worshiping God through exercise provides Alana with profound joy and relief, and she cherishes the empowering sensation of tired muscles after a workout. Music and singing serve as her deep connection to God, a journey that began at twelve when she started serving on a worship team, allowing her to grow as a worship leader. Guided by the motto, "We don’t make fear-based decisions," Alana is driven by a passion for uplifting other women of God as they engage in meaningful Kingdom work.

Sheila
Hupp

Table Moms Director

Sheila is a Texas native living in southeastern Indiana with her husband, Matt, and three daughters. Throughout her life, God has led Sheila through all sorts of roles in her life and career, but her favorite by far is serving as the role of mama. Matt and Sheila tag team homeschool for their little ladies and enjoy living out in the country, cheering for the Hupp girls at countless softball games, and hanging out at home. Sheila has a heart for leadership and runs a non-profit focused on bringing leadership training to middle and high school students as well as those in jail, drug recovery, and at-risk youth. Sheila's passion for non-profits made it clear that the Lord guided her to join our team as the Table Moms Director. Her role is a perfect fit for fostering partnerships, outreach, and funding for various initiatives, including prison ministries, pregnancy centers, halfway homes, and more. We are thrilled to have her on our team.

Sarah Monceaux, PMHNP

Able Moms Emeritus

“Why are you kind to me knowing what I have done?” Addicts, rapist, sex offenders, murderers. They all have this same thought. And, these are the very people that God would have Sarah minster to as psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in adolescences and corrections. Initially as a registered nurse, she worked in the emergency room, in pain management, as a clinical instructor, electronic health records educator, and then the psychiatric emergency room before her current role working in a juvenile detention center, correctional center, and the county prison. Asking God one night, "What is my purpose, where am I supposed to be serving, what is God calling me to do?", Sarah saw Amanda speak at a summit and stayed up late thinking about how that “turnkey ministry”, Able Moms International, might the answer. Clearly, God worked and a late night email thrust Sarah into an Exec position serving "Table Moms". For every registered Host, AMI provides free curriculum to women in correctional centers, prisons, halfway houses, and locations "outside the four walls" of the Church. Sarah connects and oversees these partnerships. As a mom to four herself and a slew of farm animals, this is her heartbeat. In her spare time, Sarah designs and sells clothes, runs a waterslide biz, cheerleads her military son, and coordinates the annual Mom Comm Bookstore. She and her fun family live in Louisiana.

Nancy Middlebrooks

Editor 

Nancy Middlebrooks has experienced motherhood in almost every form imaginable; first, raising two children from a first marriage that ended in divorce. She raised her daughter and son as a single parent from the time they were in elementary school until they were both in college, where after 12 years of being single, she remarried and took on the role of a custodial step-mom to a daughter and a non-custodial step-mom to a son. Soon after she remarried, she became a “Mother-in-Law” within the year.  Soon life turned the corner for her to become a grandmother to nine and great-grandmother to three. All members at the age of accountability have professed the Lord as their Savior and serve Him in professions of ministry, education, law enforcement, military and parenting! Professionally, Nancy just retired from public education after 40+ years. Her special memories originate from the role of a school counselor who strived to share God’s love in an environment that prohibited His name. She loves the verse Philippians 2:9-11
