Amy Daeschel

Guerrilla Social Work Podcast

Now, hold onto your thinking caps, because we've got a guest in the house. Amy Daeschel is the name, and let me tell ya, she's like a tornado of wisdom. This gal's been through the trenches, from being a former substance user and homeless individual to becoming a Certified Peer Support Specialist. She's like a phoenix rising from the ashes, pursuing a master's degree at the University of Utah, all while juggling crisis intervention, administration, and more. And if you thought that was all, well, think again. Amy's got her fingers in policy work, advocating for expungement and behavioral health. She's been on more boards than a game of Monopoly! Now, here's a gem from Amy herself: "We are not what we have done; we are everything we overcome." Wise words from someone who's not just talkin' the talk but walkin' the walk. So buckle up, let’s roll.
