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 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.

Have you ever found yourself wondering if anything is ever going to change?

You've prayed. You've believed. You've done all the things you know to do.

You thought God even promised...

And yet the situation still feels stuck.

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.

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.

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.

Stuck Isn’t Your Identity… But Indecision Might Be Keeping You There

Have you ever felt stuck? Stuck in your health, your relationships, your business, your purpose… or even stuck in a version of yourself that you’ve already outgrown?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Have you ever had one of those seasons where it feels like you’re doing all the right things… but nothing is actually moving forward?

Like you’re showing up, you’re trying, you’re putting in the effort—and still, it feels stuck? I want to challenge you with something today…

What if it’s not your circumstances?

What if it’s your words?

What if the way you start your day is shaping everything that follows?

In this episode, Amy breaks down one of the most powerful (and overlooked) habits you can build: speaking life over yourself. Not just thinking positive thoughts—but actually declaring truth out loud. Because your words aren’t neutral… they’re creative. They’re shaping your mindset, your expectations, and ultimately your results.

Have you ever felt like you've done everything you know to do… and nothing changes?

You’ve prayed.
You’ve worked.
You’ve tried every solution you can think of.

Yet the situation keeps showing up in your life day after day.

In this powerful episode, Amy shares a deeply personal story about walking through nearly 20 years of chronic back pain and the lessons she learned about persistence, faith, and refusing to quit.

Hey friends, it’s Amy.

Today’s episode is a real one, because it’s about what to do when life shows up. You know what I mean — when your day doesn’t go according to plan, when a curve ball hits, when everything feels out of rhythm, and you’re trying to hold it together while still doing what you’re called to do.

I’m recording this after a whirlwind emergency trip to Florida. We spent an insane amount of time in the car, got my parents back to Iowa, and it really made me think: how do you stay steady when life feels out of control?

What does it take to lead with integrity when the entire culture around you is shifting?
