Amanda J. Scott: Reclaiming Self-Worth After 17 Years of Abuse

On this episode of Adversity to Strength, Amanda J. Scott shares her experience of living through 17 years of emotional, financial, and physical abuse, and what it actually took to leave.This is a grounded, honest conversation about how abuse becomes normalised over time, why people stay even when they know something isn’t right, and what it feels like to lose your sense of self within a relationship.Amanda talks openly about the reality of living in survival mode, the psychological impact of long-term abuse, and the moment things began to shift. We explore what it takes to acknowledge what’s happening, the complexity of leaving, and the slow process of rebuilding self-worth and identity afterwards.This episode isn’t about theory, it’s about lived experience, and the reality of finding a way forward when everything feels stuck.https://www.amandajscott.com/
