Amanda Gore is an Australian speaker and author known for bringing warmth, humour and practical tools to the everyday work of being human. Her focus is not on “fixing” people, but on helping us feel safer inside ourselves — so we can meet life with more steadiness, kindness and self-respect.
What her work is known for
Amanda’s work often centres on fear, self-worth and connection — and on how quickly the nervous system can soften when we practise gratitude, presence and compassion in a real, non-performative way. Many people find her approach both uplifting and grounding: encouraging, without pretending life is easy.
Why we include her in Voices We Trust
Quietly Optimistic values voices that are practical, trauma-aware and gently empowering. Amanda’s work supports self-care without shame and growth without pressure. It invites people back to what is already possible — one small shift at a time.
