My Story

As someone who knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom — to walk through divorce, loss, and the dark place of wondering if life is even worth living — I made a promise that no woman would ever have to feel that alone again.

I’ve been where pain silences your voice… where you feel unseen, unheard, and unlovable — smiling on the outside while quietly falling apart inside. But that breaking point became my turning point, and now it’s my mission.

Today, I help women reset, heal, and rebuild after life breaks them — through my RHR Framework, a faith-rooted process that guides women from pain to purpose, from brokenness to breakthrough.

I’ve watched women who were ready to give up rediscover their identity, fall in love with themselves again, and walk boldly in who God created them to be. I don’t just coach transformation — I walk women back to wholeness, because I know what it’s like to need someone who understands.

And if you’re wondering whether wholeness is still possible for you… I’m here to tell you — yes. It absolutely is.

Professional Background

Amanda Brothers is a wife, mother of three adult daughters, bonus mom to her stepson, and proud grandmother to eight amazing grand-blessings.

Her own journey through heartbreak, healing, and rediscovery after divorce ignited a passion for helping other women do the same. Today, Amanda serves as a Faith-Based Life Transition & Wholeness Coach, guiding women through the pain of major life shifts and helping them reclaim their God-given identity with purpose, confidence, and faith.

With over 17 years of combined experience in coaching, mentoring, and ministry, she creates a sacred space for women to reset, heal, and rebuild.

Career and Leadership Experience

Amanda’s coaching approach is enriched by her nearly 20-year background in case management and leadership roles within human services. She has served as a Front Line Supervisor for two group homes, ensuring high-quality care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Later, as the Director of Resource and Respite Services for The Arc of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, she developed and launched two impactful programs—Respite Services and In-Home Supports—expanding essential resources for families and individuals in need.

These experiences sharpened Amanda’s ability to assess needs, coordinate services, and develop customized support plans. Now, as a coach, she applies these same skills to help women reset, heal, and rebuild their lives with confidence and purpose.

Credentials & Ministry

Amanda is a Maxwell Method of Speaking Gold Level Speaker, Author, and Host of the Held, Healed, & Empowered Podcast. An ordained evangelist, she has been in ministry for over 20 years and holds bachelor’s degrees in Religion and Sociology.

She has also appeared on the Just Stevii TV Show, Focus Radio, Faith Positive Radio, and the Words to Ponder Radio Show.

What Makes Me an Expert

Because I’ve lived what I now teach, my coaching is not theory — it’s transformation born from experience and refined through both professional training and personal healing.

Highlights include:

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)Practitioner Training

• Certified Trauma-Informed Coach

• 20 years of human services leadership and client support

• Extensive ministry and faith-based guidance experience

• Personal victory over depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts

• A deep belief in the power of God’s grace to restore what was wounded and bring wholeness.

My mission is simple: to make sure no woman ever feels unseen, unworthy, or unloved again.
If you’re ready to reclaim your identity and rebuild your life — I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
