After being diagnosed with depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in her adolescence, she dropped out of school and began homeschooling to help cope with these issues.

After high school, her parents divorced and she moved to Sacramento, California to live a more free lifestyle.

She has previously stated that she left voluntarily because of the rules preventing sellers from leaving negative feedback for customers.
Amoruso was also accused of artificially inflating bids, which she has denied.

In an interview with Dan Schawbel of Forbes, Amoruso admitted that she was unprepared for the demands of being a CEO, having had no previous leadership experience, and advised that people seeking to launch a business first gain managerial experience at established companies.
In 2017, Amoruso founded Girlboss Media, a company that creates content for women in the millennial generation to progress as people in their personal and professional life.
