Amanda Knox On: Finding Meaning in Tragedy, Not Needing an Apology, and Refusing to Own What Other People Think

The famed exoneree on making life worth living every day, flipping the narrative on the bad things, and the ancient Japanese practice of kintsugi.

Amanda Knox is an exoneree, journalist, comedian, and bestselling author of Waiting to Be Heard and FREE: My Search for Meaning. She hosts the podcast Hard Knox and advocates for criminal justice reform and media ethics.

In this episode we talk about:

• The one question Amanda Knox asks herself whenever something bad happens
• Why understanding someone who wronged you can matter more than forgiving them
• What a centuries-old Japanese art form taught Amanda about coming back from being broken
• The mindset shift that got her through years in prison, one day at a time
• Why accepting your life exactly as it is might be the first step to changing it
• The hidden trap inside feeling like a victim
• Why other people's version of you was never actually yours to carry
