Amy Morin’s start to fame began as a complete surprise. Her blog post titled Thirteen Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do caught fire. Today she’s written multiple books, has podcasts, and is in-demand as a speaker. Why? Her message is needed and her delivery of her message is fantastic. I’ve met her and watched her work and I know you’ll love her story and her message as much as I do.
