About

Amanda Doman is a believer, mother to four beautiful children, author, and speaker who loves to share her testimony fully embracing the healing power of the Lord. Through her journey of faith, restoration, and transformation, she encourages others to trust God for their own healing and breakthrough. Whether through writing, speaking, or praise singing - Amanda’s mission is to inspire others to walk in wholeness and purpose, knowing that true fulfilment is found in Jesus.

She is a woman shaped by God’s grace, her story is one of resilience, and she has heart for helping others overcome life’s toughest obstacles. My journey began amidst the dual forces of unconditional love and childhood trauma shaping her in ways she couldn’t fully grasp then but now Amanda understands God’s hand was upon her, guiding and protecting her in her mother’s womb.

When life brought challenges, Amanda was blessed with parents who stood as pillars of strength and support. Their unwavering love and guidance helped navigate some of life’s toughest moments, teaching her the importance of faith, perseverance, and compassion.

Amanda moved from the Bronx to NJ - and during that transition it was discovered that she faced significant academic challenges and would need an IEP. Amanda often felt defeated and like she was climbing an uphill battle in the world that didn’t understand her struggles. Academic challenges made her doubt her own abilities and question her worth. She is living proof that no matter how difficult the road may seem, success is possible when you refuse to give up.

Navigating the weight of loss while raising her first born child taught her the depths of strength, love, and faith she never knew she had. That journey of grief also prepared her for the challenges she faced in two subsequent relationships that didn’t work out. Each ending felt like grieving all over again, reopening wounds Amanda thought had healed. However, those experiences taught her valuable lessons on forgiving, authentic love, and the importance of relying on God’s plan rather than her own.

Through all the grief, challenges, and triumphs, Amanda has come to see life as a journey of transformation. Every trial has shaped her into the person she is today. These experiences have taught her the power of faith, the importance of resilience, and the beauty of trusting God’s timing.

Life’s journey is not without it’s heartbreaks but it is in those moments that we grow, heal, and discover our strength. Amanda’s story is a testament to the truth that no matter how broken the road may seem, God’s plan is always greater. Amanda is here to walk alongside others on their journey, to remind them that they are never alone and to encourage them to embrace the life that lies ahead with Hope and Purpose.

Life is a journey filled with lessons, challenges, and moments of transformation. Over the years, she has been blessed with experiences that have shaped who she is today—from working closely with families as a nanny/travel nanny (including for professional athletes) to serving as a household manager, child development specialist and life skills trainer. These roles have given her a unique perspective on growth, structure, and the importance of instilling foundational skills in both children and adults.

This blog is a space where Amanda will share not only her personal journey but also practical insights on her entrepreneurial walk, relationships, and holistic care. Amanda believes that the wisdom we gain in life is meant to be shared, and her hope is that by opening up about her own experiences, she can help others find clarity, direction, and purpose in their own lives.

Amanda thanks’ God for the doors He has opened—the people, relationships, and environments that have poured into her and helped shaped her path. Every experience has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and now give back. That is why she is passionate about taking these moments and turning them into something greater than herself, something that will serve and uplift others.

As the founder of Stand in the Gap (www.sntg.org), a faith-based nonprofit in New Jersey, Amanda’s mission is to equip young men, women, and families not just with knowledge of the Gospel but with the tools to thrive in their God-given purpose. Her faith is the foundation of everything she does, and she looks forward to incorporating these principles into her blog—sharing stories of perseverance, faith, and transformation.

This blog is more than just a collection of thoughts; it is a reflection of her heart, her journey, and her commitment to seeing others grow and succeed. Amanda invites you to walk with her as she explores the power of structure, balance, faith, and resilience. Together, we can build a life rooted in purpose, wisdom, and unwavering faith.

Welcome to this journey—I’m so glad you’re here.
