Mental Health Expert Dr. Peace Amadi, PsyD, is an Author, Professor, Coach, and Content Creator who helps people heal and lead.
From leaders, content creators, and entrepreneurs, to pastors, parents, and teachers, Dr. Peace is a coach and cheerleader to the people in our lives that everyone goes to.
She is the Author of Why Do I Feel Like This? Understand Your Difficult Emotions and Find Grace to Move Through which hit #1 on Amazon’s New Releases for Mental Health during its launch.
In this book, she merges clinical insight and faith to encourage readers to listen to the hidden messages of their emotions rather than spiritually-bypass them.
She’s also the co-author of the highly anticipated ChiChi & Didi multi-book children’s book series, set to release in 2024.
She’s a Professor of Psychology (ie. social psych, media psych, child psych, trauma, psych and religion, psych and law) at Hope International University.
And she’s a recurring TV Host— her most recent work as a co-host on The Blend – a digital, medical talk show co-hosted by four Black doctors.
Her work is inspired by her own journey. As one example, she’s battled the enduring impacts of childhood bullying – and the depression and anxiety that came along with it – and thus speaks from both personal and professional experience about the importance of recognizing one’s pain, healing from it, and transforming it into personal power and influence.
