Through her authenticity and contagious enthusiasm, Amy has turned Thrive into more than a conference—it’s a community of women ignited with passion, purpose, and hope.

Miah Youngblut
If you know Miah Youngblut, you know she’s one of the sweetest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. A true gift to our city, Miah is making waves in the health and wellness world both locally and nationally. Her studio, Move with Miah, has taken the Cedar Valley by storm—bringing fresh energy, community, and transformation to countless lives. More than a Pilates instructor, Miah is a vibrant community builder and lover of life. Her contagious joy lights up every room, and we can’t wait to welcome her back to Thrive 2025!
Mylie Miller
Mylie’s love for music first blossomed in the church, where her passion for worship and creativity began to take shape. Now a junior at Iowa State University, her journey—like many in their early twenties—has been filled with new experiences: college life, studying abroad, and building lifelong friendships along the way. Through it all, Mylie has continued to grow as a musician and as a person, allowing her love for music to shape her life and impact others in meaningful ways. She was made for this. We’re thrilled to welcome Mylie back for a third year as she inspires our hearts through music and helps us turn our focus toward a God who never takes His eyes off us.
