Utilizing her experience in the education and the criminal justice systems, as well as her degree in Psychology, Amy often speaks about parenthood, grief, domestic violence, the nature of abuse, trauma healing, and ethics in the genre of true crime.  Amy is here to tell her harrowing story of growing up with a violent sibling who eventually snapped. Through her trauma and grief she became an advocate for others who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and familial violence.

Amy B. Chesler is author of an award-winning blog and the new true crime memoir, Working for Justice: One Family's Tale of Murder, Betrayal, and Healing, and published by Post Hill Press (and distributed by Simon & Schuster) on April 6th, 2021. In the book, Amy discusses her mother's murder, and the harrowing efforts it took to imprison her admittedly guilty killer. With Working for Justice, she talks about mental health, violence, & the way our social services protect or enflame each. She wrote this book in an effort to spread awareness about victim's rights and the often difficult procedure of securing them. ABOUT THE BOOK When beloved educator Hadas Winnick was murdered, her sleepy, affluent hometown of Calabasas was rocked to the core. More shocking than her killing, though, was the process of convicting her admittedly guilty murderer. Calabasas is a quiet, well-to-do California town often referred to as “The Bubble.” But on September 25th, 2007, that bubble burst with the murder of one of its longtime residents—high school math teacher Hadas Winnick. The upscale community may have been deeply affected by her gruesome death, but as shocking as the tragedy seemed, the years of abuse she faced that preceded it were more so. Even more devastating still, was the effort and time it took to sentence her murderer to prison, and the power that our systems-in-place allowed him while on his way there. Follow Hadas's daughter, award-winning blogger Amy Chesler, on her often heart-wrenching—but eventually heart-warming—road to justice.

Please note: today's discussion is centered around an abuse survival story.    When it comes to dealing with different kinds of grief, whose grief is the worst? Losing a child? A spouse? A parent? The truth-it’s always our own. And yet, the more we connect instead of compare, the more we will find healing. Author and actress Amy Chesler is with us today to share her own healing journey as she dealt with the tragedy that her brother killed her mother. That kind of pain sounds unfathomable, but through time and writing, Amy has discovered the power of her voice. When she has chosen to speak out about her pain, it has enabled others to find their voices as well. As she has connected to others in her story-telling, the loss of her mom is in some way redeemed.    You’ll get a good laugh learning about what it was like for Amy to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger or the time Amy got Corey Feldman to go on a date with her mom. Learn how Amy has taken her grief and used it as a platform to call B.S. on the criminal justice system and why she will always refuse to stay quiet when it comes to abuse. Stay connected to Amy on social media to be the first to know when her true crime memoir is available.    In this episode, we’ll explore:  How there is power and healing through expressing the written word Why the less we talk the more power we give to abusers When death means something different Why support doesn’t always have to say yes How your perspective in loss and grieving is everything Win or learn-you’ll never loose   “Once you decide authenticity is your message, it doesn’t matter what the noise is around you.  ”  -Amy Chesler   Resources and Links Mentioned in this episode:  Amy’s Website Amy’s Instagram Domestic Abuse Website Or Call 1-800-799-7233 or Text: LOVEIS to 22522 The Official Podcast Instagram Sinead’s Instagram Brittany’s Instagram
