What if you could time travel… to your own childhood? In this heartwarming and humorous episode, Ann sits down with Amy Daughters—author of You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened—to talk about her wildly original, unexpectedly healing memoir that blends fiction, time travel, and emotional truth.
Amy shares how her book, originally intended to be a lighthearted “back-in-time” comedy, unfolded into a deeply personal exploration of memory, identity, and self-compassion. What starts as a plane ride into 1978 turns into a transformative experience—both for the character and the reader—as Amy reconnects with her younger self, her childhood home, and her family in all its complexity.
Through laughter, nostalgia, and unexpected revelations, Amy reflects on the power of seeing your life through fresh eyes—and how humor became her path to healing. If you've ever wanted to revisit your past to make peace with your present, this episode is a must-listen.
