IIP030: With Hope and Fire – Amy Clover’s Journey From Rock Bottom to Empowering Thousands

How to empower thousands after hitting rock bottom?

What does creating a fitness bootcamp had to do with it?

For someone who’s been battling against clinical depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder for most of her life, Amy Clover rose above all of that and had become a truly inspiring individual – all in today’s exceptionally, lesson-filled interview.

With a mission to empower and help other people overcome the challenges of facing depression, which is keeping them from living a better and prolific life, Amy started the successful and prolific blog – Strong Inside Out – where she chronicles her experiences and advice with her own, unique voice.

In this interview, Amy shares her compelling story that propelled her to become an advocate for fighting against psychological ailments and eventually becoming a fitness trainer, which gave way to conceptualizing the 30×30 Project that is happening in 30 cities across Canada and the US, and was funded by the online community itself. Becoming a trainer also became Amy’s source of income – and inspiration.

The 30×30 Project supports TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms) – a non-profit, charitable institution that assists those who are struggling with depression, self-injury, suicide and substance abuse – something Amy wished she had before.

A firm advocate of health and fitness, learn how Amy used workouts with the right reasons, to cope with stress and help others do the same. Find out what and who inspires her, her top tips for creating a blog that changes lives, and more – only in the 30th episode of Inspiring Innovation Podcast episode — your weekly backstage pass to success!
