Can memories heal us—or hold us back? In this heart-opening episode of Real Talk with Tina and Ann, author Amy Daughters returns to share the unexpected emotional impact of writing her memoir, You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened. What began as a lighthearted, nostalgic “funny little book” quickly transformed into a deep personal journey that reshaped her relationship with the past.
Amy discusses how revisiting childhood memories—both joyful and painful—helped her shift perspective and let go of emotional anchors that no longer served her. She shares her insight on how memories are malleable, how storytelling can be freeing, and why it’s okay to eventually stop revisiting trauma in order to start living again.
Whether you’re navigating grief, healing from family wounds, or simply trying to stay anchored in better memories, this conversation offers hope, validation, and real tools for emotional freedom.
