The things you learn and consider stay with you and are applicable to a number of life situations. The stories are more than stories: there’s a philosophical component, a spiritual one, plus always lots of compassion, and focus on a hope we will work together bett... more

  • Excellent

    Amanda is an excellent interviewer and far better than most journalists who have been paid to do it for years. She is excellent at not showing bias and is able to look at both sides of an issue.
