What happens when a specialist cardiac nurse, radio presenter, and mother opens her heart to the world through poetry? In this episode, we sit down with the multifaceted Amanda Crundall to discuss her latest publication, The Emboldened Heart.
Described by readers as a “Pandora’s box of emotion,” Amanda’s work doesn’t just skim the surface. She dives deep into the honest, courageous, and often humorous realities of juggling high-stakes professional roles with the raw beauty of being a performer and a parent.
In this conversation, we explore:
The “Pandora” Effect: How Amanda channels every emotion she’s ever felt into insightful, moving verse.
Honesty & Tenderness: Why vulnerability is actually a superpower in both nursing and writing.
A Book to Ponder: Why The Emboldened Heart is a “dip-in and dip-out” collection that stays with you long after you close the pages.
The Creative Balance: How she manages the demanding role of a specialist nurse while maintaining her identity as a poet and performer.
Whether you’re looking for a “thoroughly good read” or a spark of inspiration for your own creative journey, this interview is an invitation to witness the power of a heart emboldened.
“The poetry is insightful, moving and engaging. There is much power in her vulnerability. You will be touched.”
