AMANDA & SARA

We are storytellers. Actual storytellers. The kind who go deep, get on stage, and share personal experiences in a way that spur positive engagement.

Throughout our careers we’ve launched businesses, taught hundreds of classes, performed in front of thousands, and raised millions for major non-profits.

Now, Sara Sweet Rabidoux-Kelsey and Amanda Goodwin have founded Blind Tiger Tellers to help others gain the confidence, clarity and connection that comes from hearing, crafting and sharing great stories.
