One of Amy Chandler’s missions with her nonprofit is to be a catapult for lasting transformation. She is the Founder and Executive Director of 'My Story Matters' and they’ve developed courses to help people take ownership of their story and have the tools they need to live with intention and create real change in their lives.
Amy emphasizes that their curriculum is really for anyone, but she’s had the opportunity to lead these courses in many places, including the prison system. Amy currently visits the prison three days a week, and some of the stories she shares about her experiences there are beautiful and touching.
Listen to this episode to learn more about 'My Story Matters' and why they truly believe everyone deserves a path to second chances.
