Hello My Happy People,
Imagine waking up in your childhood home, with your ten-year-old self still living there. How different would your past look when seen through your adult eyes? That’s the wild premise at the heart of You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened by award-winning author Amy Weinland Daughters.
In this week’s episode, Amy joins me to talk about memory, forgiveness, and what really happens when you face the ghosts of your own past. With her trademark wit and raw honesty, she shares her author journey and why she believes that none of us are quite who we remember.
You’ll laugh, you’ll question your own memories, and you might even call your mom after this one.
Born in Houston and raised in Spring, Texas, Amy is the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Overall Winner for Humor and Comedy. Her work blends hilarious truth-telling with heart-punch insight into how our stories make us who we are.
If you’ve ever wondered what you’d say to your younger self or what she might say back, this episode just might reshape your self-image.
