About me

Hi, I’m Amanda Wheeler founder and CEO of The Battle Life, a transitional living program created to help women heal, grow, and thrive through life’s toughest challenges.

Born in Atlanta and raised in New Kensington–Arnold, Pennsylvania, I’ve walked through my own battles in the same community where this program is now being built. My journey from poverty, pain, and purpose has become the foundation of The Battle Life.

With over a decade in the nursing field, I’m also a Health and Life Coach of four years and currently studying psychology with hopes of becoming a mental health therapist. I’m a proud mother of a teenage son and a playful two-year-old Yorkie both of whom inspire me every day.

This program is rooted in my faith and dedicated to a friend I lost to suicide. Her memory pushes me to keep going and to be the light for others.

Thank you for being here. I’m honored to share this journey with you.

Amanda Wheeler

Founder & CEO, The Battle Life
