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.

Don’t Go Back to Egypt: Breaking Free From Old Patterns and Moving Forward
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever found yourself wanting to go back to something you already know you’ve outgrown?
Maybe it’s an old relationship.
An old habit.
A scarcity mindset.
A way of thinking that feels familiar, even though it keeps you small.
This morning, I sat down in my chair and heard one clear phrase in my spirit:
Don’t go back to Egypt.
And I knew immediately what it meant.
In the Bible, Egypt wasn’t just a place. It represented bondage, captivity, limitation, and survival. The Israelites physically left Egypt in one night, but it took much longer to get the mindset of Egypt out of them.
And honestly? I think we all have places like that.
We can leave a toxic relationship but still carry toxic thinking.
We can leave scarcity but still make every decision from fear.
We can leave insecurity but still crave validation from everyone around us.
We can step into freedom but still feel pulled backward by familiarity.
That’s the danger.
Sometimes bondage feels safer simply because it’s predictable. Freedom feels unfamiliar. Growth feels uncomfortable. The wilderness feels uncertain. But discomfort does not mean you’re going in the wrong direction.
In this episode, I’m talking about how to stop romanticizing the very things God delivered you from and how to renew your mind for the next season of your life.
Because you cannot sustain a promised-land life with a slave mentality.
You have to think differently. Speak differently. Expect differently.
And sometimes, you have to bless the past while deciding it no longer belongs in your future.
I also share a personal moment when I realized I was being drawn back toward a relationship from my past. There was nothing wrong with the person, but I knew it wasn’t where my future was. And sometimes that’s the hardest part: recognizing that something can be good, meaningful, and valuable for a season without being meant to continue forever.
If you’ve been circling the same mountain, revisiting the same fear, or feeling tempted to shrink back into what’s comfortable, this episode is for you.
Your future self will thank you for moving forward.
Your future generations will thank you for moving forward.
And the life God has for you is too important to spend staring into the rearview mirror.
Don’t go back to Egypt.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Keep renewing your mind.
Keep moving forward.
You truly are more!
