Pamela Smith is the founder of It’s Your Move, LLC, where she helps women move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. With experience in social work, coaching, child welfare, criminal justice, addiction/recovery support, and trauma-responsive care, Pamela brings both professional insight and real-life understanding to every client she serves.

After the age of 40, Pamela pursued her education with determination—earning a master’s degree in both Criminal Justice and Social Work, along with specialized training in trauma-focused care. Her journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to grow, change, and start again.

At the heart of It’s Your Move, LLC is a powerful truth: the queen in chess has the core advantage of maximum mobility—able to move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, giving her unmatched reach across the board. 

Just like the queen, Pamela believes women have the power to change direction, expand their reach, and move forward with confidence.

Pamela is especially passionate about helping women over 40 who feel stuck, unsure, or disconnected from their confidence. Through encouragement, practical tools, and compassionate support, she helps women rediscover their strength and make their next move—on their own terms.
