25 - Visualize What You Want Your Life to Look Like w/ AMY SYED

~~ *Update* Thank you so much to everyone for listening to the first season of What’s Your Safe Word: Declarations of Resistance!  Episode 25 - Visualize What You Want Your Life to Look Like w/ Amy Syed will be our finale episode for Season 1. We would like to thank her, as well as all of our previous guests, for coming on our show and sharing their knowledge with us! As always, if you have any questions, please email us at podcast@womenatthecentre.com and thank you again for all of your support. With love, Shelleena, Nneka, and Amanda ~~ This week we are thrilled to welcome another very special guest to the @WYSWpodcast, AMY SYED (@amy.syed)! Amy is the Founder and CEO of FindyourHCP.com (@findyourhcp) and 15minutesaday.ca. She is a serial entrepreneur and activist in the realm of women and children's rights. Amy is a survivor of intimate partner violence, terminal cancer and host of her own podcast: Calm After the Storm: Survivorship and other stories (@calmafterthestormpodcast). She has spent her life's work teaching others how to empower themselves to live their best life and uses technology to get them there. She is an innovator and a believer in hope for the future of our world spreading optimism to inspire change. After our weekly check-in, we sit down (via Zoom) with Amy to talk about the ways which children are often impacted by male-perpetuated violence, and how the violence is often shifted towards children as a means to hurt their mothers. This is an extremely heavy topic, but Amy shares her vast knowledge with us and also shares some incredibly useful tips for survivors currently navigating legal systems. This week we’re drinking Pieropan Soave Classico 2018, Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon, Niagara Cider Company: Rose Gold Berry Soaked Cider, and Twisted Tea Peach. We gave these drinks a buzz rating of 5/5, 4/5, 4.8/5, and 5/5 respectively.
