Becoming Unstoppable: Amanda Marino on Trauma, Healing & Self-Worth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Hilary Phelps sits down with Amanda Marino—CEO, healer, and mental health advocate—for a heart-opening exploration of what it means to reclaim your identity after trauma.
Amanda shares the harrowing truths of her early life, from surviving childhood abuse and witnessing her sister’s kidnapping, to navigating toxic relationships and finding her way back to herself. Through it all, she’s become a voice for resilience, self-love, and the kind of inner strength that doesn’t just survive—but rises.
Together, Hilary and Amanda discuss the lasting impact of trauma, the complicated beauty of co-parenting after divorce, and how recovery—especially as a woman and mother—is both sacred and messy. This episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, that your story can become your strength, and that you are never as alone as you think.
Whether you’re walking your own path of healing, supporting someone else, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of resilience, this conversation offers both comfort and courage.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why childhood trauma can shape—but not define—your identity
- How Amanda healed from toxic relationships and learned to trust herself again
- What co-parenting with grace really looks like (even after heartbreak)
- The emotional complexity of recovery and why grit matters
- How community, especially among women, can be a lifeline
- Why self-worth must be reclaimed from the stories we’ve been told
- How rejection can sometimes be protection
- The power of not quitting before the miracle happens
