187. The Lost Art of Letter Writing | Amy Daughters

March 7
44 mins

Episode Description

When was the last time you received a handwritten letter?

Not a text. Not an email. Not a quick DM.

An actual letter. Written by hand. Just for you.

There is something almost rebellious about that kind of connection now — slow, intentional, non-intrusive… and requiring just enough effort to mean something.


Today on Elevating Motherhood, I’m joined by Amy Daughters — keynote speaker, sports journalist, satirist, and the award-winning author of Dear Dana: That Time I Went Crazy and Wrote All 580 of My Facebook Friends a Handwritten Letter and You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened.

Amy once wrote 580 handwritten letters to her Facebook friends. Yes — 580. And what she discovered in the process will make you rethink the power of pen and paper.

In this conversation, we talk about the lost art of letter writing, what happens inside us when we take the time to write byhand, and why meaningful, sacrificial connection between two human beings is more powerful than we realize.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected in a hyper-connected world…
If you’ve ever wanted to reach out but didn’t know how…
Or if you’ve forgotten just how impactful a simple letter can be ...this episode will stay with you.

She is absolutely convinced that when human beings connect individually in a meaningful way that nothing can separatethem.
