You Are More Podcast | Faith, Mindset, Purpose, Success

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.

Don’t Burn Your Life Down — Expand It! A Leader Only Conversation with Dr. Celina Peerman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’re Not a Tree. You’re Allowed to Grow. | A Conversation with Dr. Celina Peerman
Okay friends… this one is so rich.
I got to sit down with Dr. Celina Peerman — organizational psychologist, leadership strategist, entrepreneur, wife of 30+ years, mom of two daughters — and truly one of the most thoughtful leaders in our Cedar Valley.
And here’s what we talked about:
What happens when you’re successful on paper…
…but your soul is nudging you for more?
Not “burn your life down” more.
But expand your lane more.
Dr. Celina shares how after 15 years in HR and leadership, she began taking vacation days… not to rest… but to build something quietly on the side. And eventually, she had to name the reality:
Something in her was calling for impact at a different level.
We talk about:
• Making the leap into entrepreneurship (and how scary that actually is)
• Leading with doubt — and normalizing it
• Clear expectations vs. organizational chaos
• Confidence in leadership
• Evolving over seasons of life
• Grief, identity, and finding your authentic voice
• What to do when something keeps nudging you
• Why we desperately need “think time” in a noisy world
• And why you’re not a tree — you’re allowed to move
We dig into her new creative expansion, Beautifully Over It, and how stepping into authenticity has changed not only her personal life — but her effectiveness as a leader.
This conversation is for the high-achievers.
The leaders.
The entrepreneurs.
The ones who know there’s more in them…
But aren’t sure how to step into it without losing what they’ve built.
You don’t have to burn your life down.
But you are allowed to grow.
