Today’s guest is Amy Weiland Daughters, an accomplished keynote speaker, letter writer, satirist, sports journalist, and the award-winning author of two books: Dear Dana: That time I went crazy and wrote all 580 of my Facebook friends a handwritten letter and You Cannot Mess This Up: A true story that never happened. 

Known for her deep love of storytelling and human connection, Amy shares the fascinating story behind her first book and how it led to reigniting old friendships, forging new, meaningful connections, and changing lives. Amy also has a deep love of sports, which she and I connected on, and which is how Amy’s writing career got started.

In this episode, we talked about:

• The power of old fashioned letter writing and how taking the time to put pen to paper is a true act of kindness which is sure to bring unexpected surprises to both the sender and the receiver.
• Real life examples of letters that have made a difference in someone’s life.
• How following your intuition and having the courage to trust that inner voice will never steer you wrong in life.
• The clever way Amy uses time travel in her second book and why it’s something everyone should try.

Amy is absolutely convinced that when human beings connect individually in a meaningful way that nothing can separate them, and this conversation with Amy is packed with heartfelt wisdom and stories that will resonate with anyone interested in cultivating deeper human connections.
