Hi, I’m Amy Wienands: wife, mom of twins, and the CEO of Amy Wienands Real Estate.

In this weekly podcast, we will explore themes of mindset transformation, finding your true purpose, and integrating faith into everyday life, bringing you expert interviews, inspiring stories, and practical tips.
When I was 49 I had a moment. Here I was a professional success in the high-stakes world of real estate. I had navigated the ups and downs of building a thriving business. I had killed it and yet, I remember feeling…
Empty. Frustrated. Stuck on the treadmill of life.
I remember thinking, what if I climbed and climbed this ladder only to find it's leaning against the wrong wall?
I felt a deep sense of calling to make a positive impact in the world but was unsure of where to start.
I have seen the faithfulness of God in every season. Through my own experience of feeling unfulfilled and called to a bigger purpose, I discovered the transformative power of mindset, purpose, and faith. This revelation changed my approach to life and success, leading me to start this podcast. Now, I want to share the insights, stories, and guidance I've gathered with you.
If you're looking to build a life that not only succeeds on the surface but is also rich with purpose and guided by faith, You Are More is where you'll find it. Whether you're a professional seeking more than just success, a dreamer chasing a deeper meaning, or anyone in between, this podcast is here to guide you towards building a life that truly wins.

How to Walk in Unshakable God-Confidence (Not Self-Confidence) with April Osteen Simons
In this week’s episode, I sit down with someone whose life and legacy have deeply shaped my own faith journey — April Osteen Simons. Like her brother Joel, April brings an incredible blend of wisdom, humor, storytelling, and Holy-Spirit fire as she walks us through the confidence factor that truly changes everything.
April opens up about the life-altering season when her mother, Dodie, received a terminal diagnosis. As a teenager, April stood in the doorway as her parents prayed heaven down, physically watched her mom stand on the Word of God, and witnessed firsthand what it means to “flip the script” with God’s promises. That moment marked her forever — and it’s part of why she cannot be talked out of miracles today.
We dive into the battle of the mind, the discipline of speaking the Word over your circumstances, and why confidence isn’t arrogance — it’s alignment with who God created you to be. April shares practical, powerful ways to rebuild confidence, from opening the curtains each morning to rehearsing your victories to speaking life over your own reflection. Her reminders are simple but profound: You were made for pressure. You are built to withstand. You carry something great.
We also explore the relationship between loving yourself and loving others, the danger of speaking death over your identity, and how your confidence unlocks your calling. April’s words will remind you that your uniqueness is not a liability — it’s your divine assignment.
If you’ve been walking through a dark season, battling discouragement, or feeling unsure of your purpose, this conversation will breathe hope back into your soul. As April says, “Get God’s Word in you until God’s Word gets in you.” This episode is your invitation to do just that.
