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 Thankfulness Rewires Your Brain and Changes Your Life

Gratitude is often treated like a trendy phrase — something people say without fully understanding its power. In this episode, Amy breaks down why gratitude isn’t just a mindset, but a real, science-backed tool that can transform your brain, your body, and your relationships. She shares how thankfulness rewires your neural pathways, lowers stress, and brings peace even in the middle of chaos.
Amy walks listeners through why negative thinking can trap the brain into searching for more problems, while gratitude trains the mind to look for hope, opportunity, and joy. She explains how thankfulness actually calms the nervous system, lowers cortisol, and shifts you out of fight-or-flight mode — making it a survival tool, not just a spiritual one.
The episode also dives into the power of gratitude in relationships. Amy shares how appreciation builds trust, strengthens connection, and changes the way others respond to you. She even talks about how your words over your own body and health matter more than you realize, impacting sleep, immunity, and physical well-being.
Finally, Amy challenges listeners to see gratitude as a discipline — not a feeling. Through personal stories, parenting habits, and practical steps, she teaches how thankfulness can be trained daily and passed to the next generation.
This episode is a reminder that gratitude isn’t weakness — it’s a weapon.
