The people building alongside you.

Margaret Trainor, Esq.

Founder, Like Minded People

Margaret earned a Bachelor’s in Anthropology from Stony Brook University and began her career as a field archaeologist — before spending 25 years serving vulnerable communities with the American Red Cross, the Brighter Tomorrows Domestic Violence Shelter, and the New York State Supreme Court in Suffolk County.

After earning a Master of Science in Criminal Justice and a Juris Doctor from Touro Law School, she practiced family and children’s law with the Suffolk County Legal Aid Society, then opened her own firm, Margaret Trainor, Esq. P.C. In July 2026 she was named Pro Bono Lawyer of the Month by the Suffolk County Bar. She built Like Minded People to be the room she always wished existed — where each person’s inherent worth is valued, and their gifts become a career built alongside others.

Amanda Smith

Founder, Amanda Smith Health & Wellness LLC

Amanda believes that raising healthy families and building meaningful work should never feel like separate pursuits. They should fuel each other. As founder of Amanda Smith Health & Wellness LLC, Amanda has spent years helping parents cut through the noise on food, water, products, and everyday safety so they can make confident, informed choices for the people they love most.

Her gift is turning complicated, overwhelming information into something clear, empowering, and actionable. That’s exactly the spirit she brings to Like Minded People. Amanda understands what it means to build a dream from the ground up, one hour of sweat equity at a time, and she’s here to help fellow members do the same: identify what they’re naturally good at, and turn that passion into purpose that reflects their values.

Beyond her own business, Amanda is driven by a deep desire to give back to her local community. She’s passionate about creating real, on-the-ground impact — not just reaching families online, but showing up for the neighborhoods and people around her. That same heart for service is what she hopes to bring to this community: helping other members build businesses that don’t just support their own families, but ripple outward to strengthen the communities they call home.

Whether it’s clean living, holistic health, or simply learning to trust your own instincts as a parent, Amanda is passionate about helping this community grow — stronger together.
