The Impact of Writing 580 Letters with Guest Amy Daughters

The Impact of Writing 580 Letters with Guest Amy Daughters

Rediscovering Friendship, Purpose, and Healing Through Handwritten Connection

In this heartwarming and hilarious episode of Drinks With the Girls, Karen and Lisa sit down with Amy Weinland Daughters — author, speaker, and champion of old-school connection — to talk about the unexpected power of handwritten letters. Amy shares the incredible story behind her book Dear Dana, where a simple act of compassion led her to write 580 handwritten letters to her Facebook friends, transforming her life and theirs.

We dive into how slowing down to truly connect can break through loneliness, bridge divides, and bring healing in a noisy, digital world. Plus, we reflect on the lost art of letter writing, the emotional ripple effects of being truly seen, and why your messy, imperfect handwriting might just be the greatest gift you can give. Grab your drink (sparkling water, wine, or anything in between) and join us for this inspiring conversation about friendship, grief, healing, and the deep human need for authentic connection.
