In this episode of Courage Is Built Here, Justine welcomes therapeutic musician, TEDx speaker, and two-time breast cancer thriver Amy Camie to Pathway One, Feel It All, for a thoughtful conversation about emotional wellbeing, values, and the courage to change the way we see ourselves and our experiences.
Amy shares how her breast cancer diagnosis challenged deeply held beliefs about chemotherapy and healing. Through a powerful shift in perspective, she began viewing sacrifice, growth, and change in an entirely new way. Together, she and Justine explore how our beliefs shape our emotional lives, why slowing down creates space for healing, and how curiosity can replace judgment when difficult emotions arise.
Throughout the conversation, they discuss the different parts of ourselves, radical self compassion, forgiveness, emotional awareness, and the importance of living from values instead of fear. Amy also shares how music and the metaphor of the harp have become powerful reminders that each of us carries unique experiences, gifts, and stories that deserve compassion rather than criticism. The episode is an invitation to slow down, embrace every part of yourself, and remember that meaningful change begins from within.
