Daughter of a Trailblazer- Amy Brenneman- Actress, Producer, Activist and Warrior Mom Episode 50

This is my 50th episode so we are celebrating! A year ago I started this podcast at 50 years old, something that I was scared to do. I made a dream list of guests, set goals for how many listeners I wanted and hoped that somebody would be interested in the stories of Warrior Women. Well today I have a top rated podcast with over 20K downloads thanks to all of YOU. All your reviews and listens got me here. So thank you and Thank you for joining this Warrior Women community. We believe in the power of women, collaboration over competition and pulling another woman up. My guest today was on my dream guest list. You know what they say, if you write down your goals you are more likely to achieve them. Well it happened. I hope you enjoy my special 50th episode guest today….. It’s our 50th episode! Today in the Warrior Woman hot seat is actress, producer and activist Amy Brenneman. Amy and I talk about her long career as an actress from her experience on the movie “Heat” with Bob DeNiro, her days on “Law & Order” and how “Judging Amy” came to the small screen. Amy has learned to speak her truth regardless of what people would think! She comes from a long line of trailblazing women, and hearing her story as a Mom, a wife, and a Warrior will inspire you!
