What happens when you have no Google, no quotes to pull from, and it’s just you, your thoughts, and a blank notebook?

In this heartwarming and thought-provoking episode of Real Talk with Tina and Ann, we welcome back Amy Daughters, author of You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened. Amy shares a favorite scene from her memoir where she writes a heartfelt note to her 10-year-old self—without any help from the internet, inspirational quotes, or outside sources. Just her own cat-like reflexes and raw emotion.

We explore the power of journaling, the nostalgia of pre-digital life, and the beauty of pulling wisdom from your own lived experience. It’s a conversation about memory, writing, time travel, and the surprising depth found in seemingly ordinary moments.

Whether you're a writer, a dreamer, or someone healing from your past, this episode will leave you inspired to reconnect—with yourself.
