SMALL TOWN GIRL WITH A
BIG DREAM
THE LIFE THAT
SHAPED ME
Growing up in a small town in South Louisiana, I dreamed of where life could take me, but my childhood revolved around my mom’s illness. Watching her suffer from age 4 to 22, I was always thinking about what she needed and how I could help even though she never wanted me to put her needs before my own. I was carrying emotions I was too young to understand, and no matter how much I wanted to help, I couldn’t take away her suffering. That helplessness made my world feel small, and I often felt alone and misunderstood.
Sports became my safe space where I didn’t feel helpless. While I couldn’t change what was happening at home, I could put in the work, develop my skills, and see that effort make a difference. My dad was a big reason I began to see those possibilities, and his influence helped me believe I could build a life beyond my circumstances. I took that belief onto the field, turning it into effort, choices, and opportunities that opened my world.
What began in sports became a way of approaching my life: finding what I could influence and taking action toward the future I wanted.
That pursuit took me from a small town to Team USA, the Hall of Fame, professional baseball, and a career as a marketing executive. Along the way, I learned how to question limits, navigate uncertainty, and turn ambition into opportunity. Today, I bring those experiences to stages and clinics, helping women and young athletes see possibility beyond their circumstances and take action toward the life they want. The lesson that began in my childhood is now at the heart of my work: stop reacting to life and start creating it.
Rest in peace to my beautiful mom, Rhonda Gianelloni. I hope I am making you proud down here.

MY MISSION
IS FOR YOU TO
You were born with a light inside you. Your gifts, your ambition, your potential. I call it your aura.
But the world, other people, and even your own thoughts can put limits on what you believe is possible. Before you know it, you’re going through the motions instead of going after what you want.
Amanda wants you to recognize the aura you already possess and freaking own it. Let those limits lose their grip on your decisions. Start building a life around what you want to create.
Through her own experiences, Amanda shows people how to stop living within the limits that stop them from being successful and start creating the life they actually want.
STOP REACTING.
START CREATING.
