Formerly known as Australia’s most high profile escort. Amanda Goff talks her journey to Sobriety and a Bipolar II diagnosis.

She was a tabloid journalist in her hometown of London before moving to Sydney in 2000, where she worked in TV and magazines.

Then at 37, after two kids and separation, She completely changed her life.

She walked out of my nine-to-five and became Australia’s most high-profile escort Samantha X. Wrote two best-selling books and was the focus of constant media attention, gaining fans and critics worldwide.

Amanda faced judgement and stigma yet owned who she is without apology. She learnt resilience, compassion, courage and authenticity. She has learnt women can do what they want with their bodies without explanation and that men need a space for vulnerability.  She knows what it’s like not to fit in yet live a life true to herself.  She's battled addiction and lives successfully with Bipolar II. She's seen, heard and lived most things. Made mistakes along the way, yet she is at peace and accept who she is today.

A best-selling author, journalist, former escort, business owner and coach. She holds a certificate in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and is a regular media personality. 

This is her story.
