As Amanda explained, her decisions earlier in life led to her expulsion from high school, where she and Maci both attended.
“I got kicked out of public schools from drugs and fighting and getting in trouble, getting arrested at a young age,” she shared. “I don’t know why it took so long to learn, but I went through the wringer and I’m not going back there.”
Now, Amanda is in a far better place overall. “I’m happy where I’m at in life,” she noted. “Even when I was sober before, I’ve never been mentally, emotionally happy.”
