About Amy Pease

Amy has one hell of a story to tell! A story of how she defied and escaped her manipulative and mentally abusive adopted family as a single mother of a son diagnosed with Autism and rose up past it all to retire from the grind at the age of 44 to pursue her passion to help others overcome themselves after manipulation, toxicity and mental abuse.

Now, after almost 2 decades of research, studying manipulation, toxicity, dark psychology, ancient warfare strategies, human behaviors, depression, anxiety, healing traumatic wounds and her own personal healing journey, Amy brings her experiences, her strength and courage to help others discover themselves after leaving a traumatic situation behind with a no-nonsense approach that cuts through the noise and fluffy words and gets right to the heart of healing. In her unique, and at times, brutally honest approach, she helps others find their inner strength, build the courage to heal and leave the toxicity behind, discover self-love and learn how to use the pain from the past as a tool to rise up to your passions so you can craft and build your purposeful future, free from the negativity, toxicity, and mind games.

Amy Pease doesn’t talk about resilience from a textbook — she built it from the wreckage of her own life. A survivor of mental abuse and manipulation at the hands of her own adopted family, Amy raised a son diagnosed with autism while quietly fighting battles most people never even knew existed. Then, at 44, she made a decision that changed everything: she walked away from the grind, reclaimed her power, and turned nearly two decades of pain into her life’s purpose. Today, Amy is a force of nature on any stage, screen, or microphone she steps up to. She’s raw, real, and unapologetically direct — and her audiences wouldn’t have it any other way.

⚡ The Speaker With nearly two decades of deep research into dark psychology, manipulation tactics, human behavior, depression, anxiety, and ancient warfare strategies, Amy brings a perspective that is both academically grounded and viscerally personal. Her talks don’t just inform audiences — they wake them up. Whether she’s speaking at summits, panels, live events, or intimate workshops, Amy delivers talks that leave audiences with actionable tools, renewed courage, and the fire to stop surviving and start thriving. Her rock-and-roll edge, signature leather top hat, and brutally honest approach make her impossible to forget. Amy goes beyond motivation — she digs deep into the science of why we are the way we are, and more importantly, how we can use that science as a weapon for change. From neuroscience and behavioral psychology to ancient wisdom, spirituality, and real-world strategy, Amy connects the dots between what happened to you and what’s possible for you — in life, in business, and in your own mind.
