On this episode, Brett interviews the lovely, Amy Gallagher. Amy opens up about her journey through life, experiencing the loss of her father at the age of eight. Amy is a woman who has experienced a tremendous loss, but despite the challenges and pain this has brought, she has found a way to approach life with such empathy and love for the world around her. We talk about her childhood in Florida, being raised in a diverse community. Amy also opens up about her college experience and what led her to Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!), how the COVID 19 pandemic had secret blessings in store for her despite the struggle of living around immunocompromised friends and family. She talks about transitioning across the country, moving from Florida, to IU, to Los Angeles California, and how she has gotten her foot in the door within the media and entertainment industry. As the title says, Amy's journey to where she is now, has not been a life unscarred, but for Amy, it has been a good one. Amy's word before she leaves is worth sticking around for, I just know its a good one, and the advice she has to offer to the younger version of herself is a moment on the show I will never forget. Thank you for joining us today, and thank you for reading this description. You all mean the world to me. I hope you all know just how important and powerful the words you speak into existence truly are. We are changing the world one word at a time, and we are growing together as a community, to keep hearing these important stories from every day life. Amy is no different from anyone, and her story, hopefully, can inspire you to strive to be a better self. Much love, Brett Gaffney. Would You Care To Share A Word Before We Leave?
