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.

The Gravitational Pull Toward Average (And How to Break It)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I want to talk to you today about something that is constantly happening around us…The gravitational pull toward average. Because whether you realize it or not, there’s always pressure trying to pull you into mediocrity.
Average thinking.
Average effort.
Average expectations.
Average faith.
And if you do nothing intentionally…the drift is inevitable.
In this episode, I break down why no one accidentally becomes extraordinary.
Nobody unintentionally fulfills purpose. Nobody coasts into calling. The truth is you were never created to blend in.
You were created to shine. We look at Matthew 5 and the powerful reminder that we are called to be salt and light in this earth.
Salt changes environments. Light changes atmospheres.
Neither one conforms to its surroundings they transform them.
And that’s what you are called to do too.But here’s the challenge:
The world constantly tries to normalize compromise, passivity, fear, and comfort.
“Don’t stand out.”
“Don’t be too bold.”
“Lower your standards.”
“Just fit in.”
But God says the opposite. Shine.
In this episode, I talk about:
- The slow drift toward average and how it happens
- Why subtle compromise is more dangerous than dramatic failure
- The difference between conformity and transformation
- How Caleb carried a “different spirit”
- Why your environment matters more than you think
- And how to actively resist the pull toward mediocrity
Because average is never something people choose intentionally. It’s where drift takes them.
And if you want to walk fully in your purpose… you have to become intentional.
Intentional with your thoughts.
Intentional with your standards.
Intentional with your faith.
Intentional with who you allow to shape your thinking.
I believe this with everything in me:
The world does not need a watered-down version of you.
It needs your light.
Your boldness.
Your obedience.
Your conviction.
So today, I want you to ask yourself—
Where have I started settling? Where have I started drifting? And what would happen if I chose to fully follow God again with a different spirit?
Because you were never created to be average. You were created to influence environments, carry light, and walk in purpose 🤍
