How to Build the Life You Actually Want

Do you know where you're going?

I'm not asking what you're doing today, what's on your calendar this week, or what needs to get done before the end of the month.

I'm asking: Where are you going with your life?

Because this is what I know—we get one life. Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Months become years. And if we're not intentional, we can become so busy managing schedules, responsibilities, kids, careers, and everything happening around us that we never stop long enough to ask whether we're actually building the life we want to live.

In this episode of You Are More, I want to challenge you to start with the end in mind. What do you want the impact of your life to be? What do you want the people you love to say about you? What dreams do you want to know you gave everything you had to pursue?

Train Your Mind to Win: Don't Let Your Circumstances Define You

Have you ever trained for something important? Whether it's running a marathon, preparing for a race, or learning a new skill, we all understand that success requires preparation. No one expects to show up on race day without training and perform at their best. But what if the area we neglect to train the most is the one that determines the direction of our entire life—our mind?

In this episode of You Are More, I share why one of the greatest disciplines you can develop isn't physical—it's mental. If you don't intentionally train your mind, your circumstances will do it for you. Life will constantly hand you fear, disappointment, comparison, lack, and setbacks. The question is: will you allow those experiences to shape your identity, or will you choose to renew your mind with God's truth instead?

The Real Secret to Success: Learning to Endure

What separates people who accomplish extraordinary things from those who quietly give up? Is it talent? Intelligence? Natural ability? We often assume success belongs to the smartest or the most gifted, but what if the greatest predictor of success is something much simpler—and much more accessible? What if the real difference is your willingness to keep going when life gets hard?

Movement Creates Clarity: Stop Waiting and Take the Next Step

In this episode of You Are More, Amy challenges the idea that confidence comes first. After more than three decades in business and a lifetime of walking by faith, she's discovered that confidence isn't something you wait to feel before acting. It's something that's built through consistent action. Every time you choose courage over comfort, every time you honor a commitment to yourself, and every time you take one small step forward, your confidence begins to grow.

The Thoughts That Quietly Control Your Life

What sentence have you been repeating to yourself this week?

Maybe you haven't even noticed it. But I promise you this: the conversations you're having with yourself are shaping far more than your mood. They're shaping your beliefs, your decisions, and ultimately the direction of your life. We often think it's one big decision that changes everything, but more often than not, it's the small thoughts we rehearse day after day that quietly determine where we're headed.

The good news is this: if you don't like where your life is going, you don't necessarily need a different destination—you may simply need a different conversation. Throughout this episode, I want to help you identify the thoughts you've been repeating and ask one simple question: Are they producing faith, or are they producing fear? Because every thought is working. It's either moving you closer to the life God has for you or reinforcing the very things that are keeping you stuck.

The Conversation Heaven Is Listening To: The Secret to Keeping Your Faith Strong

Have you ever stopped to think about what your everyday conversations reveal? Not just the words you speak out loud, but the things you continually rehearse in your mind and discuss with the people around you. According to Scripture, those conversations matter more than we may realize. In fact, the book of Malachi tells us about a conversation that caused heaven itself to stop and listen.

In this episode of You Are More, Amy explores the powerful connection between our conversations, our expectations, and our faith. While many of us assume God only pays attention to our prayers, this passage reveals that He also listens to the conversations of people who honor Him. That truth invites us to ask an important question: If God listened to my conversations this week, what would they reveal about what I truly believe?

What Will Your Life Leave Behind? A Conversation About Faith, Family, and Legacy with Melissa Wienands-Guinto

What do you hope the people closest to you will remember about the way you lived? Long after accomplishments, titles, and possessions fade, the values we model continue shaping our families and the generations that follow us. Legacy is not only something we leave at the end of our lives. It is something we are building through the words we speak, the choices we make, and the way we treat people every day.

In this episode of You Are More, Amy sits down with her younger sister, Melissa Wienands-Guinto, for a heartfelt and honest conversation about faith, family, generosity, perseverance, and living with the end in mind. Together, they reflect on the lessons their parents modeled throughout their childhood—from working hard and honoring commitments to remaining hopeful when life becomes difficult.

Flip the Narrative: Stop Speaking Defeat and Start Declaring Life

Have you ever caught yourself describing the same frustrating circumstance over and over again?

Maybe it’s your health.Your finances.Your business.Your relationships.Your energy.

You talk about it. You explain it. You track it. You think about it all day long.

And then one day, you realize: If I don’t shift this, I may keep creating more of the very thing I don’t want.

That happened to me recently.

I had been feeling physically exhausted, and I found myself talking about it constantly. I was tracking my sleep, watching my readiness scores, and explaining to people why I felt the way I felt.

Don’t Go Back to Egypt: Breaking Free From Old Patterns and Moving Forward

Have you ever found yourself wanting to go back to something you already know you’ve outgrown?

Maybe it’s an old relationship.
An old habit.
A scarcity mindset.
A way of thinking that feels familiar, even though it keeps you small.

This morning, I sat down in my chair and heard one clear phrase in my spirit:

Don’t go back to Egypt.

The Gravitational Pull Toward Average (And How to Break It)

I want to talk to you today about something that is constantly happening around us…The gravitational pull toward average. Because whether you realize it or not, there’s always pressure trying to pull you into mediocrity.

Average thinking. Average effort. Average expectations. Average faith.

And if you do nothing intentionally…the drift is inevitable.

In this episode, I break down why no one accidentally becomes extraordinary.

In this episode, Amy gets real about the emotional and mental exhaustion that comes from indecision. The conversations you keep avoiding. The appointments you keep putting off. The boundaries you know you need to set. The dream you keep delaying because you’re waiting for perfect clarity.

Joshua & Caleb Thinking: Why Perspective Changes Everything

I want to ask you a powerful question today: Whose report will you believe?

Because the truth is the report you believe is shaping your life.

Your thoughts.Your expectations.Your actions.Your future.

And so many people are living under reports that were never meant to define them.

Maybe it’s what your family said.Maybe it’s what your past looks like.Maybe it’s the circumstances you’re walking through right now.

Train Your Mouth for Victory (Stop Letting Feelings Lead You)

Last week, we talked about casting your cares.

This week, we’re taking it one step further—Because even when you’ve released the worry…
there’s still something that can pull you right back into it:

Your feelings. And I want to say something that might challenge you a little…

Your feelings don’t get a vote.

Now hear me—feelings are real.
But they are not reliable leaders.

Why Worry Is Blocking Your Breakthrough

What if the very thing you’re stressing about…is the exact thing blocking the breakthrough you’ve been praying for? I want you to really think about that.

Because in this episode, I’m talking about something that most of us struggle with—worry, control, and trying to make things happen in our own strength.

And I had this moment recently where I caught myself doing exactly that—trying to figure it out, trying to push things forward, trying to make something happen.

And I heard this simple truth: When you work, God rests.But when you rest… God goes to work.

The Leadership Lens: How Your Perspective Shapes Your Life - Slay GIANTS not Grasshoppers

Today, I want to talk about something that affects every single area of your life…

How you see. Because how you see things isn’t just personal— it’s powerful.

It shapes how you live, how you lead, and ultimately what your life becomes. In this episode, I break down one of the most important truths: The difference between winning and wandering often comes down to perspective.

We look at the story of the twelve spies—ten saw giants and limitation, while two saw opportunity and possibility.

They all saw the same thing… but they didn’t see it the same way. And that difference?

Win the Battle in Your Mind (Before It Shows Up in Your Life)

Over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about what to say… and what not to say.

But today, I want to take it a step deeper.

Because the real place you win in life?

It’s not on the outside.

It’s on the inside.

In this episode, I’m talking about the power of your thoughts—and how the life you’re living right now is directly connected to what you’ve been agreeing with internally.

Led by Purpose, Not Fear: How to Follow God’s Assignment for Your Life with ReShonda Young

Have you ever felt like there’s more for your life… but you’re not quite sure what it is—or how to step into it?

In this episode, I sit down with ReShonda Young, and I’ll tell you right now—this conversation is powerful.

ReShonda is a serial entrepreneur, but more than that, she’s someone who truly lives led by purpose. And what I love most about her story is that she doesn’t move based on what makes sense—she moves based on what she feels called to do.

From starting businesses out of her parents’ basement… to overcoming identity theft… to building multiple streams of income… her journey is marked by one thing: obedience.

And it doesn’t stop there.
