From Struggle
to Unstoppable.
Amanda Marino's life is proof that the hardest chapters don't define you — they refine you. This is her story, unfiltered.
The Woman Behind
the Message.
Amanda Marino didn't arrive on national stages and TEDx red dots by accident. She arrived because of everything she survived — and what she chose to build from it. Her story begins in the world of entertainment, where early success masked a private struggle that nearly cost her everything.
"Vulnerability isn't a weakness. It's the most powerful thing you'll ever own."
After navigating some of life's most disorienting transitions — including a divorce, rebuilding her identity, and starting over professionally — Amanda didn't just survive. She built Next Level Wellness, founded a coaching practice, and launched a speaking career that has taken her to Dubai, the Philippines, and stages across the United States.
Today, Amanda is a certified Life and Empowerment Coach, a TEDx speaker with over 101K views, an Emmy-nominated cast member of A&E's Intervention and Digital Addiction, and the host of the Overcoming Adversity podcast. But more than any credential, she is someone who has lived the work — and that is what makes her impossible to forget on stage.
She is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and speaks nationally and internationally. When she's not on stage or coaching clients, she's being a mom — which she'll tell you is the hardest and most rewarding role of her entire career.
