From Survival to Strength: What happens when childhood ends too soon?
When the safety net of stability is replaced with the weight of responsibility?
👉🏻 Amy Tanner didn’t grow up famous…
👉🏻 Nor did she set out to inspire others…
🎯 Yet her story is one that will resonate deeply!
Growing up in a home shaped by a parent’s addiction and another’s serious illness, Amy learned early how to navigate chaos, find strength in uncertainty, and shoulder responsibilities far beyond her years.
In this conversation, we unravel what resilience really looks like - not as a buzzword, but as a lived experience.
We talk about the silent burdens carried through life, the power (and pitfalls) of self-reliance, and why so many who learn to endure - struggle to accept kindness in return.
From childhood gymnastic disappointments (the twisties), to paramedic shifts that tested the limits of human endurance and personal battles with health and heartbreak, Amy’s insights go beyond inspiration - they offer a roadmap for anyone looking to turn their toughest moments into their greatest strengths.
If you’ve ever wondered why some people break and others bend, this episode is for you.
Tune in, reflect, and maybe even rethink your own definition of resilience.
