Amanda Marino has been through it. And she’s still here.

She’s a keynote speaker, certified life and recovery coach, Certified Intervention Professional, and co-founder of Next Level Wellness & Behavioral Health in Fort Lauderdale. But before any of that , she lived it. The hard seasons. The moments that make you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. The rebuilding that nobody talks about after the crisis is over.

That’s the conversation Amanda brings to every stage she steps onto.

Her TEDx talk, The Unstoppable Power of Believing in Yourself, has been viewed over 250,000 times, because it doesn’t sound like a speech. It sounds like something someone needed to say out loud. She spoke about heartbreak, grief, learning differently, and the seasons that make you feel like you’ll never be enough. Then she showed what happens when you decide to build anyway.

She’s taken that same message to the Dubai Founders 2.0 Conference, to A&E’s Intervention and Digital Addiction as a featured expert, to women’s conferences, corporate stages, and rooms full of people who came in politely and left differently.

At Next Level Wellness & Behavioral Health, Amanda leads a concierge-model practice that offers elite, discreet support for individuals and families navigating addiction, mental health, and identity rebuilding. It is the business version of everything she believes, that people deserve real support, not a system, and that the right help at the right time changes everything.

She speaks on overcoming adversity, building self-esteem, life after trauma, starting a business when everything is stacked against you, and what it actually looks like to stop just surviving. Her audiences range from corporate professionals to mental health clinicians to women who are quietly holding everything together and running out of reasons to keep pretending that’s fine.

Amanda doesn’t perform resilience. She is a woman who has done the work, on herself, on her business, on her life, and she shows up to every room ready to prove that the other side of the hardest thing you’ve ever been through is not the end of your story.

It’s where it actually starts.
