What happens when a high-powered attorney swaps her briefcase for a pen? Join us as we welcome the inspiring Amy Impellizzeri, who shares her remarkable journey from the legal world of New York City to her newfound passion for writing. Amy recounts the pivotal moment she realized her creative calling surpassed her legal ambitions and how her couch, alongside her loyal dog, became her sanctuary for inspiration. Discover the freedom and joy she found in letting go of traditional career expectations to embrace the art of storytelling.

Amy opens up about balancing her multifaceted life, from writing and teaching to family commitments. She shares the emotional depth of her recent works, including "Easy Street" and "Secrets of Worry Dolls," which weave personal stories with themes of resilience and survivor's guilt. As a mentor in Drexel's MFA program, Amy provides insights into the unique challenges of debut novel writing. She also teases the revival of her virtual book club podcast, offering a glimpse into her creative world that has continued to evolve since the pandemic.

We also explore the broader theme of transitioning careers, with fascinating examples of professionals who have successfully shifted to creative pursuits. Amy discusses her perspective on the versatility of a law degree, highlighted in her works "Lawyer Interrupted" and "How to Leave the Law." The episode wraps up with a heartfelt appreciation for local bookstores and a call to action to support local authors, with Amy leading the charge as a shining example of creative reinvention.
