A non-profit, for purpose inspired by the life and legacy of her late husband- Isiah “Ike” Wilson.
Amazing story and very motivating. Makes me realize what others go through could be better or worse than your situation, but you are never alone in the difficulties we face in life. Everyone has their story and everyone is trying to figure out the world we live in.
Amanda Wilson met the love of her life, Isiah “Ike” Wilson, while a graduate student at Troy University. The two got married and had two beautiful children together. Then in 2014, when their son was barely three years old, Ike was diagnosed with cancer. Amanda shares how she survived grief after her spouse died in this episode.

Lover of life, laughter, and people. I’ve committed my life to serving others in my long-time career with the Department of Children and Families, as a family and individual therapist, and an inspirational, motivating speaker. I am no stranger to facing adversity, experiencing trauma and grief, and I understand far too well the impact they make in our lives and on our generation. I feel very blessed that I can allow the pain to push me to my purpose and passion, which has led you here!
It’s often hard to see past the pain when we are drowning in our current situation, but I am a living testament that it is never too late!
