Amy Schmidt lost herself once, too

Get inspired by Ann Marie's conversation with Amy Schmidt, who is all the things a woman can be at this time of our lives and more. She inspired women through more than 100 episodes of her Fearlessly Facing Fifty podcast before pivoting and launching her Better Than Gossip project. Her journals turned into a book, Cannonball: Fearlessly Facing Midlife and Beyond, a Ted Talk, major television appearances and a big new project. But it wasn’t always this way. Amy lost herself in her 40s – as so many of us do – and she describes how she found her confidence again, and you can too.
