#187 Two Sisters Who Turned Shyness Into a Global Sisterhood

from Find Your Voice, Change Your Life · host Amy and Nancy Harrington

Today, I interview sisters and business partners Amy and Nancy Harrington, who both grew up shy and spent years navigating environments that made it hard to be heard, until they decided to leave their high-powered Hollywood careers and build something that could give other women the voice they had to fight for themselves.Amy rose to vice president at Warner Brothers at 27, often the youngest and only woman in the room, quietly doing the work while men took the credit. Nancy built a solitary graphic design business for nearly two decades to avoid the very rooms that made her shrink.Together, they built The Passionistas Project Sisterhood, a global community that gives women from marginalized backgrounds the space, support, and platform to finally be heard.__________________Sisters and business partners, Amy and Nancy Harrington are the co-founders of The Passionistas Project Sisterhood, a global community for passion-driven women, especially from marginalized backgrounds, to find support, purpose, and empowerment. After leaving high-powered careers in Hollywood, where Amy worked on major films like Harry Potter and The Matrix, and Nancy created Academy Award campaigns, they now use their platform to uplift others. Through their Power of Passionistas Women's Summit podcast, number one international bestselling anthology book, Awakening Your Power, writing mentorship program, and online global community, they give a voice to women who often don't feel seen and heard.__________________Find Amy and Nancy here:Website: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/Community: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/membershipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePassionistasProjectLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-passionistas-project/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepassionistasproject/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCPassionistasFree Download: https://www.thepassionistasproject.com/30-days-journalSupport the showI’m Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
