Becoming Free

By: Amanda Fleming

Narrated by: Amanda Woldt

Becoming Free is a raw, unflinching memoir of survival, healing, and the fight to reclaim self-worth. With courageous honesty and gripping storytelling, Amanda takes listeners into the darkest corners of her life—childhood trauma, abuse, betrayal, motherhood, and loss—and the strength it took to rise from them.

From the chilling impact of a wrong number that changed everything to the heartbreak of losing her little brother to violence, each chapter reveals the resilience of a woman determined to break generational cycles. Through it all, her five children witnessed her evolution in real time—proof that healing is possible even in the face of unimaginable pain.

Told with unapologetic truth and piercing clarity, Becoming Free is more than a memoir—it is a mirror for every woman who has ever questioned her worth, and a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it is always within reach. For anyone who has carried silence or shame, this is a story of pain. A story of power. A story of becoming free.

Brace Yourself

Prepare for heartbreaking trauma. This is life at its rawest, emotional, and dirty. It’s a great reminder that we’re all imperfect beings and just trying to survive.

Gritty Honesty

This is a powerful memoir and a testament to inner strength and survival. At times its hard to read, but triumphs in its honesty. Very inspiring. the voice actor does a great job of performing and emoting this sensitive and personal story.

Talk about surviving!

Becoming Free by Amanda Fleming is one of the best short stories i’ve read in a long time. It was short but to the point like, the author says it’s a collection of moments.
Author is 45 years old or so with five kids and chapter after chapter she makes sure she tells the audience she’s not done healing and that’s OK as she puts it. In chapter 12, she talks about how the guy broke her but didn’t finish her and that’s really important for women that are trying to survive and go through this day by day by day.
She also mentions how she’s waiting for him to change and brings him back over and over and over, and mentions how he wanted to be a father and being one is not the same and how she’s soul tired not sleepy just soul tired. That point is really important. I can relate with this point as Ive been through almost the same thing as she’s been. It’s different when you’re tired and when you’re soul tired. It takes a lot of years to get to that point.I enjoyed the little book.
Talking or narrating could use a little help with the second or third voices but that’s just me being picky. I’m guessing they charge extra for that second or third voice, again it’s just me being picky.
Great motivational fast reader book. Read in a sitting. Will definitely read more from this author.

not a light story for entertainment

this is more like the author talking to herself and through all the horrible things she has endured. it's not an in debt story or written for entertainment
