424: Hope Is A Verb – Amy Downs

A regular day, doing her regular life, left her realizing that hope was going to be the only thing that would get her through what she was about to experience. That same hope would lead her out of the closets of her life around obesity, her God given talents, and her belief in herself.

Amy Downs, a college dropout turned CEO, shares her closet journey that has led her to living in a choosing  mindset that now serves her well as she step daily into her life choosing to live with intention and not regrets.

About Amy
