Her Own Way

Amy Lyles Wilson Honors Her Great-Aunt Vannie Hamblett

Episode Overview

Some people influence us through the lessons they teach. Others shape us simply through the life they choose to live.

​

Writer, story coach, and spiritual director Amy Lyles Wilson joins Legacy Stories to honor her great-aunt Vannie Hamblett, a beloved and memorable presence whose example made a lasting impression on Amy from an early age.

​

Through Amy’s memories, we discover how one person can quietly broaden another’s sense of what is possible—and how the influence of someone dear to us can become even clearer with time.
