Aimee Eddy Gross has survived and thrived over childhood bullying, mental illness, and breast cancer

Hello Again;

I am honored to be able to share a truly inspirational story with you on this episode of The What’s Your Excuse? Show.

I am blessed to be joined by Aimee Eddy Gross.

She has overcome so much in her lifetime. And she has come through her trials without losing her joy.

Yes, like most of us, she still has a long way to go. That’s why I decided to sing Buckaroo in the beginning of the show instead of the River like I usually do.

She will still have bad days and dark times, but she doesn’t let that keep her from enjoying the moment and seeing an even better future for herself and people suffering through similar trials.

I must admit that by the end of this show I was both inspired and worn out.

Hearing Aimee tell her story made me feel like I have had it pretty easy in my life.

So, I hope you listen to it all the way through.

We talked about her being bullied in elementary school, high school, and even into college.

We talked about how she survived by escaping to the family garage.

She shared about her struggles with mental illness and finding a great doctor who helped her balance her prescriptions and manage her mental illness.

And she shared about having contracted breast cancer and how she delt with that.

At a time in her life when she thought she had things under control here comes cancer.

I know I ask y’all to share every one of my interviews. And while I don’t like to play favorites, this one is important.

If you have never shared an interview before or even listened all the way to the end; then please listen and share Aimee’s conversation with me.

Message From Aimee

I’d like to take you out of darkness and point you towards the light: the light of change, the light of recovery and the light of rising above. There is no room for defeat or giving up on this journey. Only fighters can move forward. Are you a fighter? Will you fight to rise above bullying, reach recovery from mental illness and face life’s challenges head on?

Bullying happens every day in our schools and online. It is a big problem that needs to be addressed. Many children fall into depression and other mental illnesses. Some go as far as committing suicide. The effect of bullying reaches into adulthood leaving them with wounds that take years to heal. Those who are bullied also struggle with self-esteem and other psychological issues. It takes years of therapy and hard work to heal those wounds. Are you willing to fight past the pain to find the light?

Are you one of those who are struggling to face another day of school? Are you an adult wrestling with the after effects of bullying? Do you face each day forcing yourself to get out of bed? Do you wonder if your life will always be in darkness? Do you think your life is trapped in mental illness? If so, I’ll let you in on a secret, recovery is possible!

Come with me on a journey into bullying, mental illness and breast cancer. Follow me into the battle to rise above bullying, climbing out of darkness into the light of recovery from mental illness and through the fight against breast cancer. There is no hole too deep to pull yourself out of.

I truly appreciate having Aimee share her experiences on my podcast.

I hope you will take this opportunity to reach out to her and learn from her experiences.

She has so much to teach us all. She is also a published author who is available for public speaking.

I love my job. I get to have fascinating conversations with amazing people.

I get to help them share their awesome stories with you.

And hopefully by the end of the hour you will be asking yourself if Aimee can do it then what’s my excuse.

I appreciate your continued support. And hope that I’ve helped you on your own journey.

Until next time thanks and take care, Max
