From Facebook to Friendship: Amy Daughters' Mission of 500 Handwritten Letters

The BraveHearted Woman

In this week's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am joined by Amy Daughters, author and storyteller, to discuss her inspiring journey of connection through the forgotten art of letter writing. Amy shares how a simple act of writing heartfelt letters to all 580 of her Facebook friends transformed her life in unexpected ways. From creating deep, lasting friendships, like the one with Dana, to witnessing how handwritten letters can touch lives, Amy emphasizes the power of vulnerability and human connection.

Together, Dawn and Amy explore themes of humility, obedience to God's call, and the importance of stepping out in faith. Amy reflects on how writing letters not only changed her own life but also became her life’s mission, bringing hope to others. They also discuss Amy’s books, Dear Dana and You Cannot Mess This Up, as well as the life lessons she learned from both projects.

Whether you're looking for encouragement to be brave or to reconnect in a disconnected world, this episode will leave you inspired to take the leap and make meaningful connections.
