You Are More Podcast | Faith, Mindset, Purpose, Success
Have you ever felt stagnant or unfulfilled in your professional life, despite achieving what others would consider "success"? Do you find yourself wondering if there's more to life than the daily grind? Are you looking for guidance and inspiration that speaks directly to your quest for a more purpose-driven and faith-filled life?
Hi, I’m Amy Wienands: wife, mom of twins, and the CEO of Amy Wienands Real Estate. I strive to bring you inspiration, revelation and encouragement to walk in the life you were called to walk into because…You Are More. 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.

Hey guys,
Today’s episode is one that I didn’t even fully plan — it was born out of a walk around a track, watching people, thinking about life, thinking about attitude, thinking about purpose.
And I want to ask you something right out of the gate:
Who’s waiting for you on the other side of your obedience?
Because here’s what I know — one of the biggest predictors of life expectancy isn’t diet.
It’s not exercise.
It’s not even genetics.
It’s purpose.
It’s having a why.
It’s having something that pulls you out of bed in the morning because someone needs you to show up.
In this episode, I share the powerful story of Viktor Frankl — a Holocaust survivor who lost everything. His manuscript. His freedom. His family. His name. And yet, he discovered something that can’t be taken from any human being:
The freedom to choose your attitude in any given circumstance.
You can’t control what happens to you.
But you can always control how you respond.
And I contrast that with real-life moments I’ve witnessed — people who’ve walked through immense pain yet carry light… and others who seemingly “have it all” but live in constant complaint.
The difference?
Attitude.
Purpose.
Gratitude.
We talk about:
- Why complaining is a public declaration of defeat
- How gratitude literally rewires your perspective
- The danger of “give-up-itis”
- Why storms are seasonal, not permanent
- How your purpose acts as drag power to pull you forward
- And how an unexamined life leads to frustration
And I’ll tell you this…
If you’re walking through hell right now —
this episode is for you.
Because storms always end.
But bitterness can last a lifetime if you let it.
You are needed.
Your perspective matters.
And someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience.
Tie your kite string to your why — and let it pull you forward.
