Ever wondered who inspired me to start a podcast? An incredible woman named Amy.

In today’s episode, I am incredibly pumped to interview the woman who inspired this podcast and forced a change in me. She is the reason I am no longer judgmental, bitter or a flat-out bitch and she is the woman I owe a massive thanks to for having the guts to call me out on my toxic behaviour!

Amy Johnstone is her name and she sits across from me as we discuss a decade ago when she summoned the courage to tell me that “hanging around me didn't make her a better person” Ouch! It was this defining moment that sent me on a trajectory to become a better human.

In this episode we cover:

• The moment she realised she didn't want to be friends with me and decided it was time to call me out on my behaviour.
• I discuss the impact that this had on me and how it forced me to self reflect on how I had been treating her and other women.
• We explore her diagnosis of breast cancer and the treatment that followed. We also chat about how it returned and how she chose to have a hysterectomy.
• Amy opens up about the difficulty in choosing to have a double mastectomy and hysterectomy and how this affected her deeply.
• We talk about her career as a teacher and why she thinks so many teachers are quitting the profession.
• We touch on her desire to explore art therapy as a job in the future and she also goes into how she is grateful to have found her voice again and this stage in her mid 40s.
