Love Amy. Everything is very real, genuine and honest

This podcast is so relatable and comforting to listen to. The topic choices are amazing, even if they’re serious, you will probably laugh a few times as you’re tuning in. It’s nice to hear about the different challenges people have faced and their perspectives and growth through it. All in all, it is a truly insightful podcast.

THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE!!

YES. If you are a human being who has ANY desire to grow, learn more about our fellow humans and some of the challenges/growth opportunities we face, and aren’t afraid of hearing some beautiful souls saying it straight, I GENUINELY believe this is the podcast for you. I have followed Amy for years hoping she would at some point write a book sharing her wisdom but never imagined something as good as this. A beautiful example being led by a beautiful human - thank you for sharing such a beautiful part of yourself with the world Amy, I am glad you are here. Now everyone go listen!! Please :)
