Amy’s dad, Stephan Purdy, is a Vietnam war veteran. He joins Amy for an emotional and inspirational episode where he talks about his decision to join the Marine Corps and what it was like when he returned home. Years later, he gave a kidney to his daughter who was fighting for her life.

In this heartfelt episode, Amy and Stephan discuss finding inspiration and strength after fighting for their lives at separate times. “Don’t lose hope. Don’t let what you think is going to happen overwhelm what’s really taking place. Have faith.”

I want to share something that I'm really excited about. My Live Inspired jewelry collection with tiny tags launches this month. I designed this jewelry collection for you, and I hope that when you wear it, it's a reminder to do the things that inspire you most and to surround yourself with those who inspire you most.

I expect this collection to sell out pretty quickly because we have a limited supply. Join the waitlist now and you'll be the first to know when it goes on sale.
