About this episode

Aimee Mayo has been writing songs since she was 13 and she has written many hits that we love...too many to count. She wrote "Amazed" by Lonestar, "My Best Friend" and "Let's Make Love" for Tim McGraw, "This One's For The Girls" by Martina McBride and so many more. She also has a book (with an audio version) called "Talking to the Sky," which is a memoir on her life that is funny, honest and real. Her book has some crazy stories that you would think are made up....but they are real life. Aimee talks about a possible book reading tour, how she wants to use her book to help others who have a dream and feel stuck, when she was offered a record deal, and the time she got in a yelling match with Tony Robbins at his seminar! We also get into the mental health effects of COVID over the past year, daylight savings time, and another bad dating story.
