Walk-Ins Welcome Podcast 165 - Amanda Knox

Original Air Date - 1/27/22
Amanda Knox (exoneree, journalist & podcaster) is on a mission to reclaim her identity. She sits down with Bridget for a thoughtful and introspective conversation about how her identity, face, and name have come to define her in ways that were not in her control, and how she's defining her own world moving forward. They discuss how embracing complicated emotions allows you to have a better perspective, how she dealt with the stress and waiting during her trial process and jail time, what we do to cope, being turned into a symbol, and why we as a society should be better about allowing people to admit that they're wrong. They cover how entitled people feel to judge when they see someone going through something bad, the loss of the sense of humor and the ability to laugh at terrible things, returning to reality and getting reacclimated after prison, the absolute loss of control of being pregnant, and feeling like everything could be taken from her again. Check out her podcast Labyrinths with husband Christopher Robinson.

Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all.
