Amanda Knox on Reclaiming Your Story on Your Terms


Listen Later

This week, Amanda Knox granted us a special interview that delves into the power of memoir to reclaim your own narrative. This episode touches upon themes that run through Amanda’s new memoir—about what it means to be free, how we live with the stories that are told about us, and how memoir can be a vehicle to release yourself from the stories others tell to center the story you need to tell. There’s so much insight in this interview, and permission and encouragement for writers to write, write, write! Not to be missed.

Amanda Knox is an author, journalist, and podcast host whose work explores criminal justice, media ethics, and the human experience. She is the author of two memoirs—Waiting to Be Heard and Free: My Search for Meaning—and co-hosts the podcast, Labyrinths. Her writing and public speaking focus on wrongful convictions, storytelling, and personal transformation.
