The Power of Your Story and Deciding to Tell It! You Are the Hero of Your Own Life with Amy Griffin

They've been amazing. A lot of times it comes off as jokes now. Oh, my gosh, mom would have done X before. Mom, you were so chill. Mom, look, mom didn't even care. And I can laugh at it rather than the tension that I see would have been there around control for their safety. Mm-hmm. And also in this knowing of the conversations I've had with my children.

You know, my husband has said to me, he says to me every day as I step into this new realm of, why am I doing this? I know why I'm doing this. Why am I doing this? Amy, you are safe and you are loved. And then I try to repeat that to my children. You are safe and you are loved. And everything else we do, we can figure out together. But it's a closeness rather than a questioning.

Can I go back to my mom again? Yeah, of course. I mean, both my parents. Like I look at this combination of my parents, of the things I say I don't want to throw away with what happened to me. And I grew up with this incredible entrepreneur as a grandmother who was a single mother who started these businesses like you, Jamie, in a small town where she just saw this need.

But I didn't know that people didn't always have a grandmother who worked all the time and followed her around to hear about the businesses she was building and the needs she was filling. But with my parents, I had this very ambitious, hardworking father who taught me the value of hard work and success. He's an incredible businessman.

And then my mom taught me the value of a thank you note and someone else's time. You send the best thank yous, I have to say. I love to write a thank you note. Thanks, Mom. I love to write a thank you note. Because when you sit down to write a thank you note, you get to remember, I get more from it because I get to remember how grateful I feel for the relationship I have with you.

My handwriting looks like my grandmother's and it's going on by the wayside, but, but, I really enjoy that moment to then remember, capture the memory of what we did together and the gratitude I have for what you showed me, the effort you showed me to be in my life. So I love that. I love a thank you note. That's my second book.

You're saying, thank you. And then you're taking that memory and whatever the brain does with the brain science, it's doing something where you're then reconnecting again to say, oh, that time we just spent together on that hike. Thank you for that. Like you get to remember it again.
