Episode Ninety-Three: Amy Molloy on Using your Toughest Moments to Empower Other People

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Molloy, an award-winning journalist, editor, author, and mentor where we talk about her journey in turning her toughest moments and memories into tools to empower others.

Amy shared that she had been documenting her life and experiences for over 10 years when she utilized journaling as a tool to help cope with traumatic events in her life. When her father was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 17 and her husband passed away from Stage 5 cancer at age 23, journals became a source of therapy for her which eventually became published books. Ever since then, she has been on a journey to help guide others in processing their trauma and the various unpleasant feelings surrounding it.     

Amy explained that when she found herself widowed at age 23, she found that she couldn’t relate to any of the books or supportive material on the subject of grief. This inspired her even further to share her story, as she found it to be a cathartic process which also presented opportunities to have discussions with others, who though their stories were slightly different, had found comfort in her publications knowing that they were not alone.

We also discussed some of the difficulties that come with sharing painful stories, and Amy believes that it’s crucial to “write from the wounds and edit from scars”. Self-preservation in story-telling is important and she strives to help others by sharing her experiences but also emphasizes that it’s important to figure out what it is you’re sharing and why.

Amy also touched on her spiritual healing journey, and how it has been an important part of her growth and development since she was young. Akashic Records, she explained, is a “metaphorical library” and an internal record of everything we have seen and done in this life and previous ones. Amy is passionate about this form of healing and aims to empower her clients to tap into this knowledge and eventually become self-sufficient in accessing this form of internal guidance.
